CCTV images of potential witnesses to the savage murder of an Essex student have been released by police today.

Nahid Almanea, 31, was stabbed to death on the Salary Brook Trail in Colchester on June 17.

Now detectives investigating her murder have published more than 70 CCTV images in a bid to identify people who may have been near the scene at the time of the University of Essex student's death.

As well as identifying people in the CCTV images, detectives are also still trying to trace a man who was seen on the Salary Brook Trail between 10.20am and 10.40am, shortly before Nahid was found. He is thought to have been wearing a very distinctive jacket.

The new CCTV images can be seen here.

Anyone who recognises themselves in the pictures is asked to contact Essex Police.
