Manhunt continues for murder suspect Dylan Jackson

Detectives searching for the 19-year-old, who is the main suspect in the death of Herman 'Louis' Simpson, encouraged any one with information to come forward.

The search for Jackson last centered on Oxbarn Avenue, Penn. On Friday night, armed police surrounded a house he was believed to be in. However, it later emerged that the house was empty.

Superintendent Ron Winch said: "I would urge people with information on the whereabouts of Dylan Jackson to call us immediately.

"People are advised not to approach Mr Jackson and to report any concerns to us."

Father-of-one Mr Simpson, 47, was found stabbed to death in his home in Compton Road at around 8.30pm last Monday. He died from a stab wound to the back. His brother described him as a 'loyal son and proud father'.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
