Police are on the hunt for a rucksack which could hold the key to an Isle of Dogs murder investigation.

CCTV images have been released of the light blue bag, which they believe may be a vital clue in solving the murder of 70-year-old Byng Street resident Khayrun Nessa in August.

Khayrun was stabbed at her home on August 12, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A man carrying the rucksack was seen getting on the DLR at nearby Canary Wharf station immediately after the murder.

He got off at All Saints station and disappeared into the Robin Hood Gardens estate.

The man is described as Asian, wearing a dark blue hooded top with two white stripes running down the shoulders onto the arms and a motif of a lion on the left chest area, white or beige trousers and brown shoes.

Anyone who has seen/found a discarded rucksack of similar description or who saw the man carrying it/disposing of it, is asked to contact the Incident Room on 0208 345 3715 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Three men and a woman were arrested in connection with the inquiry.

  • Byng Street resident Nasir Uddin, 31, has been charged with the murder, and is due to appear at the Old Bailey for trial on June 1.
