Detectives claim that Farrah knows he is wanted for questioning but is deliberately evading arrest.

They have warned that anyone shielding him faces prosecution.  Crimestoppers today described Farrah as '˜key' to police enquiries.

Dave Hunter, Head of Operations for Crimestoppers, said: 'A 21-year-old has had his life taken away from him and his family are understandably distraught and searching for answers.

'Crimes like this are heartless, senseless and the people that have to deal with this loss are those left behind. I can't imagine what Kavan's family are going through.
