Man who spoke to woman waiting for taxi in Bradford could be key witness for investigators

The potential witness is described as an Asian male who appeared to be small in stature.

He is believed to have been driving a black Volkswagen Golf in the Tong Street area between 2.30am and 2.45am on Sunday, 30 July.

Detective Inspector Michael Ryan said: “We believe this male spoke to a female who was waiting for a taxi in Tennis Avenue between 2.30am and 2.45am.
