Murder detectives are trying to trace key evidence - as part of the investigation into the killing of a 16 year old
Police have launched an urgent appeal to track down video footage allegedly showing the murder of a 16 year old girl in Leeds.
Chloe Watson Dransfield was fatally stabbed in Austhorpe in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Kayla Smith, aged 18, and Archie Rycroft, aged 19, who have been charged with Chloe’s murder, have been remanded in custody to appear before Leeds Crown Court tomorrow along with a 17-year-old boy from Leeds.
Three other teenagers have been released on bail.
West Yorkshire Police Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, said:
“We have seen the impact that Chloe’s death has had – not just on her family and friends, but also across our communities.
“While we have so far charged three people with her murder, this is very much an ongoing investigation, and we are committed to bringing all those responsible for causing Chloe’s death to justice.
“We believe this footage, which we understand may be being shared on Tiktok or Snapchat, will lead us to the truth about what happened in Kennerleigh Avenue in Austhorpe in the early hours of last Saturday.
“I am urging anyone who has it to submit it to us by using the Major Incident Public Portal on the link below.”
