The 48 year old man was found collapsed on a path near Pyenest Road - he died later in hospital from a single stab wound from a "large knife".

"It is quite possible this has been discarded nearby and I would ask people to check their bins, gardens, outbuildings for any knives that have been left and I would also ask members of the public out and about in Harlow to report any such finds to us.

"I am also very keen to get hold of any CCTV from either businesses or private premises which overlook Pyenest Road, Holly Field, Abercrombie Way and Southern Way from yesterday morning which may have captured either our victim or the person or persons responsible for this awful crime."
