Police release image of bike in Adam Ellison appeal

Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of Adam Ellison are continuing to appeal for witnesses to come forward.

Adam was walking along a pedestrianised area in Market Place, Prescot, at 12.40am on Saturday November 4 with friends when he became involved in an argument with people on a motorbike.

During the incident he was stabbed in the neck with an unknown weapon. He was taken to hospital for surgery but sadly passed away that morning.

Detectives are still looking to trace the bike – believed to be a green Kawasaki KX85 Big Wheel – or anyone who may have seen it being ridden around the Prescot either before or after Adam was attacked. Officers also want to speak to three females who it is believed were approached in the area by males on a similar bike on the same evening.

They are also keen to speak to anyone who was in the Old Mill public house on Mill Street in Prescot between 10pm and closing time on the evening of Friday 3rd November as it is believed they could also assist with the investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector John Middleton said:

• Anyone with information is asked to contact Merseyside Police’s Major Crime Unit on 0151 777 8618 or the Crimestoppers line anonymously on 0800 555 111.
