Appeal to identify man in connection with Narborough Road murder investigation

Detectives investigating the death of a man who was attacked in Narborough Road have issued an image of someone they want to identify.

It is believed the person pictured below may have information that could assist with ongoing enquiries and we are appealing for anyone who recognises him and knows who he is to get in touch.

George Glover, 27, died in hospital yesterday (Thursday 20 August) after he was punched as he cycled close to the junction with Noel Street at around 6.30am on Monday (17 August).

An investigation into the circumstances is being led by the East Midlands Special Operations Unit’s (EMSOU) major crime team. A 31-year-old man and 39-year-old woman who have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and conspiracy to commit murder remain in custody. 

Detective Inspector Kevin Hames, the senior investigating officer, said: “Our investigation is moving at a significant pace and I believe the man pictured was in the area around the time that Mr Glover was attacked.

“I’m urgently appealing for anyone who recognises him from how he appears in this image and the clothes he’s wearing to get in touch.

“I’d also extend this appeal directly to that man and ask him to do the right thing and make himself known to us.”
