Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, who is leading the murder probe, said: “Our thoughts remain with Tai’s family and loved ones as they come to terms with his tragic death.

“We are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident, has information about those involved, or who may hold relevant CCTV, doorbell or dash‑cam footage from the area to contact police as a matter of urgency.

The detective urged anyone who may have been in the area to check dashcam or helmet-cam footage.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD6165/2MAR, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
