Murder police seek key witness
MISSING witnesses could hold the key to the police investigation into a murder of a man in Fishponds and a second ‘linked’ attack.
Ronald Leigh, aged 21, was stabbed in Gill Avenue and died of his injuries in hospital.
Hours later a 48-year-old man was attacked in nearby Downend Road, suffering life-threatening injuries.
Detectives say the murder of Mr Leigh “led directly” to the second incident – but believe witnesses with information "crucial" to solving the case have yet to come forward.
