Fresh appeal over stabbing murder

Paul Harrison-Hunt was attacked in his family home

Police investigating the murder of a 25-year-old man have appealed for help in tracing a woman who accompanied the killer to the victim's house.

Paul Harrison-Hunt was killed at his home in Pascal Street, Levenshulme, Manchester, at about 2020 BST on 24 July.

The killer - who was of mixed-race - had pulled up outside his victim's house in a red Citroen C3 SX and went inside while a woman waited in the passenger seat.

The man - who is known as Errol and was aged between 20 and 30 - then entered the house and stabbed Mr Harrison-Hunt in his head and body.

He managed to alert neighbours but died in Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Only 150 people in the area own a "wicked red" Citroen C3 SX

Police hope a reconstruction of the events leading up to the murder will help lead them to the killer.

The car had arrived on Pascal Street from Stockport Road via York Street and was captured by a CCTV camera moments after the attack.

The three-door car was a new model only manufactured for the past 18 months and is thought to have a local registration plate.

Inspector Andy Durkin, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "Around 150 people in Manchester and Stockport own this model of car in the colour which is officially known as 'wicked red'.

"We are in the process of speaking to all their registered keepers as we believe one of them will be the woman who went with 'Errol' to kill Paul.

'Vital information'

"We believe that Paul knew his killer and at the moment our enquiries are concentrating on finding 'Errol', the Citroen and the woman who waited outside.

"We don't know if Paul's murder was planned or it was an argument that got out of hand, but the young woman in the passenger seat will have vital information about the attack."

Paul, who was nicknamed 'Merty', was attacked in the downstairs of what had been his family's home for the past 20 years.

Floral tributes now line the front of the house.
