Detectives investigating the murder of Steven McMyler in Wigan have released images of four men they want to speak to in relation to the incident.
Steven, aged 34, was fatally kicked in the head while being attacked in the gardens of Wigan Parish Church shortly before 7.50pm on Thursday 6 August 2020.
Despite the best efforts of emergency services, he sadly passed away at the scene and a murder investigation was launched.
Officers are keen to speak to four men that they believe may hold significant information about the incident.
The men are believed to have travelled to Wigan from the Merseyside area and are seen pictured walking past a Chinese takeaway on Wallgate moments before Steven was attacked.
They were earlier pictured that evening at Southport train station and anyone with any information about the identity of the men is encouraged to contact police.
