Police have released CCTV images of two groups of people who may be potential witnesses in the Duncan Browne murder investigation.

At around 3.40am on Sunday 4th July police received a report from North West Ambulance Service that Duncan had suffered a cardiac arrest after being assaulted outside the City Buffet restaurant on Hanover Street.

The 23 year-old from Kirkby passed away the following day.

The first group of people pictured are believed to have walked from Seel Street and along Hanover Street shortly prior to the incident. Detectives believe they could have information which is vital to the investigation.

In the second image a male and a female, wearing a black and white puffa jacket, are seen walking past the incident. They are believed to have remained in the area for a short time before walking away along Ranelagh Street, towards the Adelphi. They then cross towards Brownlow Hill/Mount Pleasant.

Detective Chief Inspector Sabi Kaur said: “Our enquiries into Duncan’s death remain ongoing.

“We have issued CCTV images of a group of people and a couple who were in the area at that time and may have information which could assist with our investigation.

“I would ask any of these people, or anyone who recognises them, to contact us, as a matter of urgency.”
