Fresh plea for help in Smith's Wood murder investigation


TWO weeks on from the murder of a young man outside his Smith's Wood home, police and family members have made a fresh appeal for information.
Leneto Kellengbeck was stabbed to death in Arran Way a fortnight ago this evening (March 29) and detectives are continuing to investigate.
Det Insp Jim Colclough said that the 24-year-old had pulled up outside his house at around 11.10pm, at which point he was attacked.
Within minutes the father-of-one was found by two members of the public, having suffered multiple stab wounds. He passed away a short time later.
In a direct appeal to locals, Det Insp Colclough said: "I'm appealing today to the residents of Smith's Wood to contact the police if they have any information in relation to this murder.
"Any bit of information could be crucial to the investigation.
"That could be dashcam footage or evidence that's captured on mobile phones."
Loved ones have also urged anyone with information to come forward.
Mum Jasmine Coley-Hartley said that her heart had been "ripped out", while Leneto's girlfriend Emily Coe had spoken of the difficulties explaining the tragedy to their young daughter.
Having checked CCTV in the area, detectives believe there were a number of people in the vicinity who may have vital evidence.
Anyone who can help officers with their enquiries should call 101.
