Four men wanted in connection with the killing of a teenager in Leeds are believed to have fled abroad, detectives have said.

Jamie Meah, 18, died after being stabbed in Hall Lane, Armley, in March.

Aquade Jeffers, Caleb Awe, Enham Nishat, all aged 20, and Ranei Wilks, aged 22, left the country after the incident.

Det Ch Insp Damian Roebuck said the force was determined to see "those responsible brought to justice".

West Yorkshire Police said the four, who travelled to Liverpool, left the country before they were identified as suspects.

Det Ch Insp Roebuck said Mr Meah's family remained "completely heartbroken".

"We are determined to get them the answers they need and to see that those responsible are brought to justice.

"Information from the public is vital to those efforts and we continue to appeal for anyone who knows anything that could assist the investigation, particularly anyone who may have knowledge of their current whereabouts abroad, to contact us," he added.

Police previously arrested four men, aged 18,19, 24 and 30 in connection with the case. All have been discounted from the inquiry.
