A man who is wanted in connection with the murder of 20-year-old Emille Stapleton in St Albans last week has gone missing, according to police.

Paul Crosbie, from Camden - known locally as Paul ‘Irish’ Crosbie - was one of 11 people arrested following the incident on London Road.

According to a Herts Ad source, police raided a property in the New Greens area of St Albans on Thursday (29) looking for 26-year-old Crosbie, but failed to find him. Crosbie is now rumoured to be in Brighton.

Now police have released an image and are appealing to members of the public to help locate him.

Anyone who sees Crosbie, or knows of his whereabouts, is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101 straight away.
