DCI Fiona Mallon, Operation Trident said:"We are keen to speak to anyone who was in Brentmead Gardens, Twyford Abbey Rd, Park Ave or Huxley Gardens between 19.00 and 19.30 on Sunday 22nd. It was a lovely day, the sort of day when people are in their gardens, washing cars, socialising - perhaps coming back from the park along Twyford Abbey Rd.
"We are very keen to speak to anyone who was out in any of these roads between 19.00 and 19.30. They may not even realise they saw anything; but they may have a vital piece of the jigsaw that could assist police in solving this crime."
