Detectives from the Police Service’s Major Investigation Team are today making a specific appeal, one week on from the murder of Blake Newland.
The teenager was stabbed multiple times in the Woodland Walk area of Limavady on Friday night, February 2. Sadly, he later died from his injuries.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Gibson said: “Blake was just 17 years old when his life was taken. This was the most tragic loss of a young man’s life. A loss which has left a community in shock and loved ones bereft.
“It is now one week on. And I’m keen to, first of all, extend sincere thanks to those who have assisted our investigation to-date.”
