Police have released an image of two key witnesses they are searching for in relation to a murder at a south east London train station.

Sam Winter was taken to hospital in critical condition after he was assaulted on the stairs of Southwark Underground Station at around 9.30pm on August 22.

The 28-year-old died in hospital two days later on the evening of August 24.

Months later, police are continuing to investigate the murder and are hoping to identify two people who may have critical information which could help the investigation.

Despite extensive enquiries, officers have so far been unable to identify them.
