Farrah, aged 30, is believed to hold vital information on the murder of 21-year-old Kavan Brissett, who was stabbed to death in an alleyway in Upperthorpe last August.

Known as Reggie, and with links to Broomhall, Farrah is said to know he is wanted by South Yorkshire Police but is deliberately evading arrest.
