| Anxiang Du on the bus to Wootton |
Presenter Rav Wilding told the BBC show's audience: "It certainly looks like the net is closing on him."
The crime busting show featured the case of Mr Du on its 'Most Wanted' wall at 9pm last night.
The Chinese businessman is the prime suspect in the murder of the Ding family on Friday, April 29. Jeff Ding, 46, Helen Chui, 47, Xing Ding, 18, and 12-year-old Alice Ding were found at their home in Pioneer Close, Wootton by Northamptonshire Police on Sunday, May 1. They had been stabbed to death.
Police have tracked the movements of Mr Du, a former business partner of the Dings, from Coventry to Wootton on the day of the murders.
A rental car, hired out by Xing, was then taken from the family home and found abandoned in London. CCTV images of Mr Du close to the area the car was dumped in Venables Close, near Edgeware Road, have also been recovered.
Mr Du has since become Britain's most wanted man, and yesterday's programme showed CCTV footage of him walking through Greyfriars Bus Station in Northampton on his way to Wootton.
Mr Wilding had told viewers: "Fifty-two-year-old Du is wanted in connection with the murder of a family of four in Northampton just three weeks ago.
"Xing, Jeff, Helen and Alice Ding were stabbed to death in their home on April 29, that’s the day of the Royal Wedding.
"Du, who is Mrs Ding’s ex-business partner is 5ft 9ins and often wears a baseball cap to hide his bald patch.
"He is now possibly in London but could be anywhere."
During the show the man leading the investigation, Detective Superintendent Glyn Timmins was on hand at Crimewatch's Cardiff studio, along with Detective Inspector Nick Gray, to take calls on the case.
A team of officers were also on duty in Northampton to take calls and act on any information provided during the show.
More on the Crimewatch appeal can be seen on its website.
The inquests into the deaths of the Ding family are due to be opened today.
