Detectives have issued a new appeal for the public's help in tracking down the killer of James Attfield.

Dad-of-five Mr Attfield, of East Bay, Colchester, was stabbed 102 times in the attack near Lower Castle Park in Colchester on March 29.

Police currently have over 4,300 documents and intelligence recorded on file.
