Police investigating the murder of a 90-year-old man in Pontefract are appealing for information to help trace his movements on the day he died.
The Homicide and Major Enquiry Team would like to speak with anyone who can help them pinpoint the victim’s movements on Saturday October 5.
The victim has now been formally identified as Mr Nathaniel Suggitt who was known locally as Terry.
Officers were contacted at about 8.53pm on Saturday by a man making a call of concern for Mr Suggitt who had failed to keep a regular social appointment.
A post-mortem revealed Mr Suggitt died as a result of stab wounds in an attack on his flat at Love Lane Terrace.
A 49-year-old man remains in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the death.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Heather Whoriskey of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “We are continuing to investigate the murder of Mr Suggitt and it is important we gain as much information as we can to help us build a picture of his movements and the persons he spoke and associated with on the day he died.
“I am particularly keen to speak with anyone who saw him between the hours of 9.30am and 6.30pm when he would have been out shopping and carrying out his usual business.”
