Detective Chief Inspector Mark Rogers, leading the investigation into Renell's death, has asked for images and footage of the incident to be shared with police.
'This brutal attack took place near a school, and was witnessed by many bystanders and young people."
"There was heavy traffic on Markhouse Road at that time of day and we think there is a strong chance some people will have dashcam footage."
