I would appeal to any of those people to come forward and speak to us, if necessary, in confidence. We would especially like to hear from anyone who may have gone to his address on the evening of January 16 or the early hours of January 17, perhaps to collect someone. I would ask any taxi drivers in the Epsom or London areas to cast their minds back to that evening and to contact us if they may have picked up a fare in the area of Longdown Lane North. A post-mortem examination showed Mr Fernandez's injuries were not believed to have been caused by a weapon.
