Detectives from West Yorkshire Police are looking for anyone who can help locate Alfie Milburn, 19, following the murder of Harry Abbott, also 19.

Mr Abbott was stabbed after an altercation in Parkside View, Seacroft, before being taken in a car to St Wilfrids Crescent where he died shortly afterwards. 

Despite extensive enquiries being made, detectives are now asking for the public’s help in finding Mr Milburn.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Holdsworth of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team said: “Our enquiry into Harry’s murder remains ongoing, we have now arrested six people for various offences in connection with the incident.

“Numerous enquiries have been made to locate Alfie Milburn, he knows he is wanted for this crime.

“I would appeal to Alfie directly to hand himself in. Anyone who is seen to be helping Alfie is committing a crime and will be arrested.

“If anyone sees Alfie, or who knows where he is, do not approach him, but report this to us by calling 999.”
