"We are keen to speak to these people as they may have some information that could assist our investigation.

The first was a woman with long dark hair who was carrying a shopping bag. She walked down the street at around 1.30am.

Shortly after this, a man walked a black and white dog down the street. He was wearing black trousers and a light coloured top.
