Bedsit murder - new appeal

A team of 30 detectives was assigned to find Mr Sheridan's killer

Detectives investigating the unsolved murder of a man stabbed to death in his Anglesey bedsit almost a year ago have made a fresh appeal for information.

Michael Christopher Sheridan, 41, was discovered at his home in Stanley Crescent, Holyhead in March six weeks after he was killed.

He had died from a single stab wound.

His body was found by his landlady, who became concerned after she had not seen him for several weeks.

Police want to talk to people who were in the town's British Legion Club on the night of Wednesday, 5 February.

Detective Inspector Neil McAdam said: "We know that on this evening a championship darts match was held inside the club and we know from witness accounts that Michael Sheridan visited the club at around 8pm.

"We have traced many of the people inside the club but we still need to establish as far as we can who else was in those premises at the time."

DI McAdam appealed for anyone in the club that night who has not spoken to detectives to contact them.

Police are also renewing their appeal about clothing and a suitcase which was removed from Mr Sheridan's flat.

Police bail

They believe the killer or killers removed a number of items from his flat.

Detectives are interested in sightings of anyone carrying a suitcase in the area of 19 Stanley Crescent in the days following 5 February.

Two men from Holyhead were arrested in July.

They have been given police bail until a date in January, pending further enquiries. Mr Sheridan was unemployed and had lived in Holyhead for 12 months.

Before moving to Anglesey he had lived in several other areas of the UK and he also had family in Manchester.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact either Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or North Wales Police on 0845 607 1002.
