Another month passes for family of Sheffield murder victim desperate for justice

Kavan Brissett, aged 21, was stabbed off Langsett Walk, Upperthorpe, on August 14, 2018.

He underwent emergency surgery but could not be saved and died in hospital four days later.

Detectives believe that Kavan, who was knifed in his chest, was the victim of a targeted attack.

They want to trace Ahmed Farrah, who is believed to hold vital information about the incident.

Farrah was captured on CCTV at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, where he was treated for facial injuries, on the same night that Kavan was stabbed.

He returned to the hospital the following day but then disappeared from Sheffield.

Farrah, who is also known as ‘Reggie’ and has links to Broomhall, is believed to have been injured in the same incident in which Kavan was stabbed.

The last known sighting of him was in Cardiff the month after Kavan’s death.

His passport has never been recovered by the police.

Farrah’s friends, relatives and acquaintances have all been visited and harbouring notices have been served, warning that anyone helping him evade arrest faces prosecution.

A £5,000 appeal for information leading to his arrest has failed to yield results.

Earlier this year, Kavan’s mum posted on Facebook that her family had been left ‘in limbo’ since the murder.

Commenting after another fatal stabbing in the city in March, she said: “I hope they find culprit sooner rather than later and the family are not left in limbo like me and mine. My heart’s heavy today.”
