Christian Bagley was killed as he returned from seeing his young daughter on Father's Day in 2015

Murder police investigating an unsolved stabbing want to speak to an Audi driver who could be a witness.

West Mercia Police said Christian Bagley, 30, was stabbed twice as he walked under the Hunderton Bridge in Hereford on Father's Day, 21 June 2015.

Several people have since been arrested and released without charge.

Investigating officer Det Ch Insp Leighton Harding said he remained "absolutely committed" to finding the killer.

The force said the driver of a dark Audi A4 Avant BB might have information relevant to the case.

It said the car was seen driving between Sainsbury's at Barton Place and ASDA Belmont Road between 22:37 and 22:50 BST on the night of Mr Bagley's stabbing.

Det Ch Insp Harding said the car had been spotted after his team viewed hours of CCTV footage.

He said the male driver was seen getting out of the car near the entrance to ASDA and speaking to another person briefly, before returning to the vehicle and leaving.

The driver was not a suspect, he stressed, but "may be a key witness".

He added he recognised the "passage of time presents difficulties for people being able to remember where they were and what they were doing", but hoped the appeal, on the seventh anniversary of Mr Bagley's death, would trigger someone's memory.
