AN independent charity has renewed its appeal to find a man wanted in connection with a murder investigation.

Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £5,000 for information which leads to the arrest of Keith McCarthy.

The police have been looking for Mr McCarthy for more than six weeks as he is still wanted following a murder and attempted murder in Dovercourt.

Kerrin Repman, 29, died after his motorbike was hit by a BMW in Marine Parade on April 15.

Mr McCarthy, 40, is described as being 5ft 5ins tall and is said to have links to Harwich, Hertfordshire, London and Ireland.

To qualify for the reward, people need to provide the information to the charity either online at crimestoppers-uk.org or by calling on 0800 555 111.
