DCI Almond, said:
"We have a dedicated team who are working incredibly hard to identify and speak to anyone who was in the busy Grosvenor Road area of St Paul's on the night Eddie was attacked, Friday 21 July 2023. If you were there – even if you don't think you can tell us anything new – please come forward and speak to us. We really need to speak to everyone who was there, to make those checks to ensure we don't miss any information which could help to get justice for Eddie."
DCI Almond, concludes:
"I know that it’s hard for people to talk about what happened to Eddie, but our team of investigators can access help and support for people who have witnessed such awful incidents, alongside our victim and witness care teams."
Avon & Somerset Police are only treating this person as an important witness and is not believed to be the suspect in Mr. Kinuthia's murder.
One potential witness officers are keen to trace.
He is described as in his forties, about 5 foot 8 inches tall and white, with dark hair and a distinctive hairline.
He is wearing grey or blue jogging bottoms and grey trainers with a lighter sole.
