Nearly three months after 41-year-old Dean Stansby was fatally stabbed in Ancaster Road on February 8, police officers were approaching members of the public walking through the area to ask if they could help in the investigation.
For three hours yesterday evening a small group of plain-clothes officers at the entrance of Gippeswyk Park showed CCTV and dash-cam images of people seen in the area on the night of the attack to members of the public.
Everyone in the pictures has been described as a potential witness by Suffolk Constabulary and they are keen to trace them so the investigation can move forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Caroline Millar said: “We would like to thank all those who have spoken to us and assisted with the enquiry to date, however we still need anyone who can help to come forward.

“It’s possible you may have a small piece of information that can help us bring those responsible to justice.”
Mr Stansby was stabbed around 6.30pm and died a short time later in Ipswich Hospital.
Six people are currently on bail in connection with the incident, while a 17-year-old boy who had been arrested on suspicion of murder has been released from bail will no face no further action.
