<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven-year-old Mubasher Hussain Ashraf, known locally as \u2018Busha,’ from the Hinckley area was found in a black Audi A3 just before 8pm on Sunday September 7.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A post mortem examination revealed Mr Ashraf died from a knife wound. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Leicestershire police said they had launched a murder inquiry and were trying to piece together Mr Ashraf\u2019s last movements. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Detective Superintendent Stuart Prior said: “Following the discovery of Mr Ashraf’s body a major investigation was launched.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“We are trying to piece together Mr Ashraf’s last known movements.\u00a0 We know that he was in the Castle Tavern, Hinckley at around 6pm on Friday September 5\u00a0and would like to hear from anyone who saw him from this time up until 8pm on Sunday September 7.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“We’d also like to speak to anyone who saw the black Audi –\u00a0registration number YY04 YJD – which was owned by Mr Ashraf – in Middlefield Lane.\u00a0 There are allotments and industrial premises in the area so we’re hoping that people who saw the car parked there but didn’t think anything of it at the time will now come forward.<\/div>\n
