Detectives investigating the murder of a Southampton man have returned to the scene where he was found almost a week ago.

Gerald Pragnell, 66, was last seen leaving work at Southampton Airport.

His body was found in woodland off of Cemetery Road, by Southampton Common, on Saturday, November 3.

Today, police will be speaking to people in the Cemetery Road area, asking them if they saw Mr Pragnell or his car.

The force is particularly keen to speak to drivers with dash cams, who were driving around the area last Thursday morning, as they may have footage of his car.

His car is a silver Mercedes GLA, reg GIW 4045.
