A host of specialist officers have joined in the police search for quadruple murder suspect Anxiang Du.
Home Office forensics experts, national search advisers, behavioural analysts, officers from the Independent Advisory Group, police search trained advisers and the national family liaison lead have joined Metropolital Police and 60 officers from Northamptonshire Police in the hunt for the Coventry businessman.
Mr Du is the prime suspect in the murder of Jeff Ding, 46, Helen Chui, 47, Xing Ding, 18, and Alice Ding, 12. The family were found by police in their home in Pioneer Close, Sampson Manor in Wootton on May, 1. It is believed they were killed by Mr Du sometime between 3-4pm on Friday, April 29.
Yesterday police issued a fresh appeal for witness on the two week anniversary of the murders.
It follows the discovery of a silver Vauxhall Corsa used as a getaway vehicle by Mr Du. The car was found in Venables Street, off Edgware Road in London.
Detective Superintendent Glyn Timmins, leading the investigation, said: "Forensic examination of the Vauxhall Corsa is now complete.
"The purpose of the examination was to seek links between the vehicle and the murder scene and the suspect, and we are now waiting for the results of the scientific examination to come
back.
"Officers have completed house to house enquiries in the area of North West London where the vehicle was located and we are trying to establish if it has been used and how long it has been there.
"We now have hundreds of hours of CCTV footage to trawl through.
"A team of officers has been allocated to sift through this footage methodically to see if they can identify sightings of our suspect Anxiang Du.
"We will be focusing our enquiries on the London area over the weekend with the full co-operation of the Metropolitan Police.
"We are liaising with officers who have specialist knowledge of the Chinese population and they are helping us to circulate leaflets in these communities.
"With regards to the events in Northampton on the day of the murders I'd like to issue a fresh appeal for witnesses to come forward."
