POLICE are asking for the public's help in tracking down a man wanted in connection with a murder in Southampton.

Officers launched a hunt for Kevin Suika after the body of Michael Freshwater was found in a flat on Westridge Road three months ago today.

The constabulary's major crime team launched an investigation and is appealing to anyone who might know where Kevin Suika is - with the offer of a £10,000 reward for information leading to his conviction.

PICTURED: Kevin Suika

So far 13 arrests have been made in connection with Mr Freshwater's death.

He is described as being black, five feet seven inches tall, and has a tattoo on his left arm that reads: "Work like a slave, eat like a king".

Detective Superintendent Becky Riggs said: “We’ve not stopped working on getting justice for Michael since his body was found three months ago at an address in Westridge Road, Southampton.

“Kevin Suika is wanted in connection with this case and he knows we are looking for him.

“We won’t stop until we find him.

“Anyone found to be harbouring Suika or assisting him in avoiding arrest should be warned that they are also committing an offence and may liable to a prison sentence.

“If you have information as to Suika’s whereabouts please call Hampshire Constabulary on 101, in confidence, and quote Operation Windless.”
