POLICE investigating Nikitta Grender's death released CCTV footage of four people they want to speak to who were captured on cameras in and around Broadmead Park, Moorland Park and Pontfaen areas on the morning Ms Grender's body was found.

They say they might hold vital clues.

The first two images were taken from the back of the Moorland Park Community Centre showing a couple walking towards the bridge between Moorland Park and Broadmead Park at 3.41am, and a man, who is possibly carrying a bag with a reflective strip on it, walking across the same bridge at 5.56am.

The third image shows a man walking on Fosse Road, Pontfaen at 5.59am.

Police are continuing to search for a weapon, believed to be a knife. Forensic work is continuing to establish the type of knife.

Detective Superintendent Geoff Ronayne, who is leading the major incident team of 50 officers, said CCTV was just one line of enquiry and the people in the images could have vital information.

Newport Superintendent Dave Johnson: "We are grateful for the help, co-operation and patience the community has provided us. We would urge them not to speculate and call police if they have any information whatsoever.

"The mobile police office is in place and will remain so. If anyone has any concerns whatsoever please speak to local officers who remain in the vicinity patrolling with Newport City Council Safety Wardens.”
