DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN?: Police hunt potential witness

Detective Chief Inspector Charles King, who is leading the investigation for the Homicide and Serious Crime Command (HSCC), said: "Almost two years on from Michael's death we are no closer to establishing a motive for his murder."

"However, what we do know is that Michael was a law-abiding, hardworking family man who died whilst going about his everyday business. He has left behind his wife Catherine and two young daughters who are devastated without him," he added.

He continued: "I am still particularly keen to speak to a man captured on CCTV running along the parade of shops between 4:42hrs and 4:44hrs in Eynsham Drive, Abbey Wood, around the time Michael was injured as they may have vital information. I would urge anyone who recognizes the man to contact the police."

Detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the incident room on 020 8721 4054 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
