Three wanted over sailor's attack

Police want to speak to the men or anyone who knows them

Police have released more information about three men wanted in connection with the murder of a Royal Navy seaman.

Anthony Cavanagh, 22, died on 5 October, two weeks after he was attacked in the Walkabout bar while on shore leave in Liverpool.

Detectives believe he was attacked by one of three men after accidentally bumping into the group.

Police have released CCTV footage of the men and are urging them - or anyone who knows them - to come forward.

A man arrested in Wavertree last week has since been released pending further inquiries.

Det Ch Insp Paul Richardson, who is leading the investigation, is appealing to anyone who may have been in the Walkabout on the night of the assault to come forward.

"Anthony was out to enjoy himself with friends and was due to return to his ship on the Monday," he said.

"He didn't go out looking for trouble and his family are devastated at the loss of their son and brother."

The offender who hit Anthony is described as white, of muscular build with short, brown hair. He was wearing a white T-shirt and hooded top.

Anthony was taken to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and was then transferred to the specialist Walton Neurological Centre where he later died.
