Detectives investigating the murder of Kavan Brissett in Sheffield are urging a man suspected of being involved in his death to come forward.

Kavan, 21, was stabbed in an alleyway off Langsett Walk in Upperthorpe on August 14th - he died 4 days later.

Now police want to speak to Ahmed Farrah, 29, in connection with it.

DCI June Ashmore said: "It is vital we trace Farrah, who is also known as Reggie, and speak to him as part of our inquiries.

"He is from the Broomhall area of Sheffield, but also has links to Cardiff.

"I would like to appeal directly to Farrah himself, to get in touch with us.

"I would ask you to think of Mr Brissett's mum, who is so desperately seeking answers about what happened to her son.

"Someone knows where Farrah is, or where he is staying tonight, and I would ask them to contact us, and to keep Kavan's family in their minds.

"I would also like to remind people who may be letting Farrah stay with them, that they could be prosecuted for assisting an offender."
