South Wales Police investigating the murder of 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi have this afternoon arrested a third man.
The 36-year-old was arrested in the Richmond Road area of Roath, Cardiff, at around 12.20pm on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of Aamir’s parents.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Superintendent, Stuart McKenzie said: “We continue to make significant progress in this investigation but despite this progress, and the third arrest, we are still very much appealing for information.
“There are still people out there with information on this brutal murder and my message to them is simple – please come forward for Aamir, for his family and to ensure justice is done.”
Divisional Commander for Cardiff Chief Superintendent Bob Tooby added: “A football match held yesterday evening in honour of Aamir was extremely well-attended which shows how loved, respected and missed he is by family, friends, and the wider community.
“My sincere thanks to all those who have already spoken to officers – the support we are having from the community is fantastic and is very much appreciated. Please keep the information coming into the incident room.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room at Cardiff Central Police Station on 02920 571530 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
