Detectives probing the death of Nantwich teenager Jonty Evans have today released CCTV images in their latest appeal for information.
The CCTV images show two people the police would like to speak to.
Jonty, 16, from Baddington, was found in the River Weaver in Nantwich on September 1.
He was last seen at around 12.54am on Saturday 31 August, walking along Waterlode in Nantwich, before crossing the road and entering Mill Island, near the junction of Mill Street.
Officers have been working to establish the circumstances surrounding how Jonty entered the water.
They are keen to speak to anyone who entered the Mill Island area or was in the vicinity of Riverside, known locally as ‘the beach’, between 12.30am and 6am on Saturday 31 August 2024.
Officers are also looking to identify two people who were seen entering Mill Island at around 12.53am (pictured here).
Investigating officers believe these people may hold vital information.
As part of their inquiries to identify them, they have now released several CCTV images.
Detective Inspector Nigel Parr, of the Major Investigation Team, said: “Enquiries into piecing together Jonty’s movements in the hours that led to him entering the River Weaver near Riverside, Nantwich, have been ongoing since he was found.
“Our investigation has led us to discover that Jonty was last seen at around 12.54am on Saturday 31 August, walking along Waterlode, before he crossed the road and walked down Mill Island, near the junction of Mill Street.

“If you know the identity of any of these people, or have any information regarding them, please contact us.
“We would also like to appeal directly to the people pictured to get in touch.”
