POLICE investigating the murder of a Newcastle man last month are appealing for help to trace a stolen car possibly involved in the shooting.
Freddie Knights, 38, from the Longbenton Estate, Newcastle, was shot on September 20.
Police want to trace a silver Volkswagen Golf, registration E33 DCN, taken from Fowler Street, South Shields, on the afternoon of the previous day.
The car was found burnt out at Earsdon Close, East Denton, Newcastle, just after midnight, four hours after the murder.
Police believe the car may have been used in the Longbenton area around the time of the killing.
Anyone with information should contact police on 0191-214 6555.
