John Roberts murder reconstruction

Описание: Northumbria Police has released a reconstruction based on the last sightings of Gateshead murder victim John Roberts.

Mr Roberts, who was 32, was found dead inside his home in Park Terrace on Sunday December 16, 2012. .

A team of detectives have been working on the murder investigation and in the last six months have carried out over 1,200 house to house enquiries and spoken to thousands of people as part of the inquiry.

Now, on the six month anniversary of John's murder, and based around a number of witness reports, officers have put together a filmed reconstruction outlining John's last known movements the day before he was killed.

The reconstruction - which is presented by Detective Superintendent Roger Ford - recreates two sightings of John on Saturday, December 15, the day before the murder.

The first was of John in the alley round the back of his house at around 5:30pm. He was speaking with a man and it looked as if they had been arguing while walking down towards John's house.

The man is described as being white, 19 to 20 years-old, and around five foot ten inches tall. He had short fair hair and was clean shaven. He was wearing a waist-length dark brown or green bomber-style jacket and blue jeans.

The second was in the Kandola Brothers store in Hazel Road at around 6:30pm. John visited the shop and bought cigarette papers.

The aim of the reconstruction is to jog people's memories of that night and for anyone who might have seen John or know anything that could help police with their enquiries to get in touch and pass information on.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
