Joevester was found dead on Catherine Street in Doncaster by a passer-by.
A post-mortem examination carried out yesterday (Tuesday 2 November) concluded he died as a result of stab wounds to his legs.

“I would like to urge anyone who may know something to get in touch with us if they haven’t already.
"We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have been in the area of Catherine Road in the early hours of Monday morning, or any motorists who may have dash cam footage.”
