Police Appeal For Witness<\/h3>\n

STATEMENT FROM ESSEX POLICE: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We do not yet know whether the murders of Nahid Almanea and\u00a0<\/span>James Attfield<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>have been committed by the same person or people.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A criminal profiler from the\u00a0<\/span>National Crime Agency<\/a>has carried out a thorough assessment of all the evidence in connection with both murders and a\u00a0decision has been taken that they remain separate but parallel investigations at this time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However the circumstances of both crimes mean that we must consider the possibility that the same killer or killers are responsible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We are continuing to explore this line of enquiry, along with many others, and both investigations are being continually resourced and are receiving equal precedence.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A command structure has been put in place to ensure that the relevance of any evidence uncovered in respect of either murder is considered by both enquiries.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The response from the public so far has been good \u2013 we have received more than a hundred calls providing us with information.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But there is still more we need the public to do to help us and find those responsible for Nahid and James\u2019 deaths.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I still firmly believe that the answer to these investigations will come from within the Colchester community.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We continue to gather all available forensic evidence and this will undoubtedly open up new lines of enquiry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But what I really need is to hear from anyone in the community who has any suspicions about who may have committed these dreadful crimes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In particular I want to find out more about a man who was seen running up Hewes Close at around 10.56am on the day Nahid was murdered.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Hewes<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This road is at the far end of Avon Way and he was seen initially coming out of an alleyway which indirectly links to the Salary Brook Trail.<\/p>\n
