Police search for potential stabbing witness

Police are looking to trace the potential witness shown in new CCTV footage

Police have released CCTV of a man they want to trace after a fatal stabbing.

It comes more than 10 months after Eddie King Muthemba Kinuthia, 19, was killed in Bristol.

Officers have urged anyone with information about his death to come forward, including the potential witness pictured in the CCTV image.

Detective chief inspector Mark Almond said: "If you were there – even if you don’t think you can tell us anything new – please come forward and speak to us."

Mr Kinuthia died in hospital after being attacked in Grosvenor Road, St Pauls, on 21 July.

Six arrests have been made but nobody has been charged in relation to his death. Three men remain on police bail.

Mr Kinuthia's mother, Irene Muthemba, urged her son's "cowardly" killer to give themselves up.

Police describe the man they want to speak to as in his forties, around 5ft 8ins tall, white with dark hair and a distinctive hairline.

He is pictured wearing grey or blue jogging bottoms and grey trainers with a lighter sole.

He also wears a distinctive light-coloured t-shirt with a large logo – a circle of orange or red lettering containing a blue and orange/red peak shape and a small blue circle.

'Justice for Eddie'

DCI Almond, who is leading Avon and Somerset Police's major crime investigation enquiry into the incident, added: "We really need to speak to everyone who was there, to make those checks to ensure we don’t miss any information which could help to get justice for Eddie.

“I know it’s hard for people to talk about what happened to Eddie, but our team of investigators can access help and support for people who have witnessed such awful incidents, alongside our victim and witness care teams.”
