A murder investigation is underway after a man in his 20's was found seriously injured in a car park in Cheshunt and later died in hospital.
The victim is believed to have been assaulted, and detectives are working to uncover the events leading up to his death.
Detectives have determined that he was last seen in a silver MG ZS, with registration ND70 EVN, before his attack in the Waltham Abbey/Waltham Cross area.
The vehicle is distinguishable by a driver's side rear door, which is a slightly different colour due to replacement.
Detective Chief Inspector Greg Wood is heading the investigation, requesting the community’s help in locating the car, which may have been abandoned locally.
As investigations continue, one man has been arrested and released on bail.
Members of the public who spot the vehicle in question or have any relevant information are asked to report it through the Major Investigation Public Portal.
