Lancashire Police are appealing for information following the murder of a 65-year-old man in Accrington – and in particular would like to trace the weapon used.
A murder investigation was launched after the body of Mohammed Yousaf was found at a flat on Granville Road on Wednesday, September 21st.
Officers attended and found he had suffered serious head injuries. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Now anybody with information about the incident is being urged to contact police.
Detectives are also appealing to residents to check land around their homes for anything suspicious, as they believe the weapon used may have been discarded following the attack.
Detective Superintendent Paul Withers, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “Mohammed Yousaf was a 65-year-old man of diminutive stature, who was found dead at his home last week."
“We are now appealing to anybody with information about the incident to get in touch with us. Maybe you saw something or somebody in the area that seemed suspicious in the days before September 21st, or maybe you heard someone discussing Mr Yousaf’s death. If you have any information – no matter how small – we would urge you to get in touch with us."
“We are also still trying to trace the weapon used and are looking into the possibility that it may have been discarded following the incident. We would ask that all residents in the vicinity of Granville Road check gardens and land for anything suspicious."
“If you do find anything that could have been used in this attack, please do not move it and contact us immediately.”
