Emile Riggan is wanted for murder in the UK but may have travelled to Ireland
Police in the UK have warned that a man wanted for murder in Leeds may have travelled to Ireland and have released his photograph.
West Yorkshire Police detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man in Leeds have issued an appeal to locate two males, including 22-year-old Emile Riggan who they think may be in Ireland.
The Homicide and Major Enquiry Team (HMET) there would like to speak to anyone who can help them locate Emile Riggan and 29-year-old Louis Grant, known as O'Brien.
They are both wanted in connection with the murder of 19-year-old Emmanuel Nyabako.
West Yorkshire Police said: "Emmanuel was stabbed in an incident in Francis Street, Chapeltown in the early hours of Saturday, August 26, suffering serious injuries which were to prove fatal.
"It is believed Emile Riggan may have travelled to Ireland and officers have been conducting enquiries in the Sheffield area to locate Louis Grant.
Another man has already been charged with Emmanuel’s murder and was remanded in court custody pending trial
A 15-year-old school boy and 34-year-old woman also arrested in connection with the offence remain on police bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Damian Roebuck, of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “Our investigation into Emmanuel’s murder continues and we are now in a position to issue images of two males wanted on suspicion of his murder.
“We believe Louis Grant, who also goes by O’Brien, is active in the Sheffield area and that Emile Riggan travelled to the Republic of Ireland by ferry.
“We are conducting enquiries with partners in both locations and would ask anyone who can help us locate either man to contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, ( HMET) at West Yorkshire Police."
Anyone with information can contact the HMET via 101 Live Chat or by calling 101, quoting crime reference 13230475319.
Information can also be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or going online.
