He said: “We are now a week on from this tragic incident in Kettering and I know there are people out there who may have seen or heard something, either on the night or since, and who can help us understand exactly what happened in Havelock Street last Sunday night, and how Tairu lost his life.

“We know a group of men broke into the property at about 9pm. They then attacked Tairu, who died as a result of a stab wound.

“We are following a number of lines of inquiry and have made a number of arrests in connection with the incident, but we still need more information.

“Any piece of information, however insignificant it may seem, may provide that vital link and be hugely important to the investigation. If you know anything, please contact us.
