Police: No let up in the hunt for murder suspect
BY JONATHAN REILLY
Nearly four months after the horrific murder of the entire Ding family, the hunt for Anxiang Du is still very much on.
Police continue to look for Du, 52, from Coventry, who is the prime suspect in the murders of Jeff, 46, Helen, 47, Xing, 18 and Alice, 12, on April 29 who were all killed at their home in Wootton.
Detective Superintendent Glyn Timmins said: “At the moment we have been continuing the investigation by researching Anxiang Du’s background, the sort of places he visits and is interested in and we have identified a number of potential places across the country.
“We have sent officers to make enquiries but due to the sensitive nature of the information we can’t say where those places are.” The police investigation is now being supported by the Serious and Organised Crime Unit, and they are also liaising with officers across Europe in case he is found across the continent.
DS Timmins said: “We have been preparing some details to pass on to police forces across Europe in case he has gone across the border and we have put out a European arrest warrant for him.” Although the police work has not yet spread to the far east and China, the cops have been proactively promoting the murders throughout the region to try to drum up any leads.
DS Timmins added: “We are pleased with the exposure in the far east.
“It got to the point where last month when I was being introduced to the members of the Ding family, who live in the USA and China, both said they did not need to be introduced as they had seen me on the TV.” Despite the exposure globally the police still believe that that Du is more likely to be closer to the UK, living with the help of someone.
DS Timmins said: “We know that Du will be able to live quite a simple life, but even so everyone needs money and somewhere to live. That means that there must be someone out there either employing him or renting out a property to him.” There is a ￡10,000 reward being offered for the arrest and successful prosecution of Anxiang Du. Anyone with information can call Northamptonshire Police on 03000 111 222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
