Police in the UK believe a man wanted for murder in Leeds may have travelled to Ireland.

West Yorkshire Police are appealing for help finding 22-year-old Emile Riggan and 29-year-old Louis Grant (AKA O’Brien).

The pair are wanted in connection with the murder of 19-year-old Emmanuel Nyabako who was stabbed to death in a Leeds suburb in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, August 26th.

Homicide and Major Enquiry Team Detective Chief Inspector Damian Roebuck said: “Our investigation into Emmanuel’s murder continues and we are now in a position to issue images of two males wanted on suspicion of his murder.”

“We believe Louis Grant, who also goes by O’Brien, is active in the Sheffield area and that Emile Riggan travelled to the Republic of Ireland by ferry.

“We are conducting enquiries with partners in both locations and would ask anyone who can help us locate either man to contact the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team at West Yorkshire Police.”

Another man has already been charged in connection with Emmanuel’s murder.

32-year-old Phillip Bryant of Skinner Lane in Leeds has been remanded in court custody pending trial.

A 15-year-old schoolboy and 34-year-old woman also arrested in connection with the murder remain on police bail.
