Senior Investigating Officer, Det Chief Insp Damian Roebuck from West Yorkshire Police, said: “Jamie’s death was a tragedy in which a young man with his life ahead of him was needlessly cut short.

“I would urge anyone who thinks they may have seen any of these four males, or knows of their whereabouts to please contact us with those details.”
Enquiries remain ongoing into the murder with officers appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
Information can also be given online to the force via a Major Incident Public Portal at Public Portal (mipp.police.uk). Alternatively people can call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
