Officers investigating the death of Carlton 'CJ' Darrell want to hear from anyone at the party he attended at Shelly Bay on Good Friday.

Police are also appealing for witnesses to the road accident which claimed the life of the 26-year-old.

Mr. Darrell, of Pembroke, was killed on his way home from the party.

Police say he lost control of his motorcycle in Middle Road, Devonshire, near the junction with Belvedere Road, at 10.35 p.m. Mr. Darrell collided with a wall and died from head, neck and chest injuries.

A spokesman said yesterday: "Police are interested in speaking with anyone who may have seen Mr. Darrell at a Shelly Bay, Hamilton Parish residence on Friday night prior to the collision; anyone who may have seen a group of vehicles travelling together from Shelly Bay towards the City of Hamilton around 10 p.m. Friday; or anyone who was at the scene of the collision shortly after it occurred."

Anyone with any information should contact PC Richard Geraghty on 295-0011.
