HOMICIDE Squad detectives have appealed for anyone with information about the death of a St Albans man on Saturday 11 May last year to come forward.
The body of Hieu Nguyen, 18, was located on a nature strip out the front of Sunshine Hospital in Majorca Street, St Albans at around 5.30am.
Detectives believe a burnt-out car discovered in Plumpton later during the morning could have possibly been involved with Mr Nguyen’s death.
A light blue coloured Honda Civic sedan was located on a rural property in Leakes Rd around 9am.
A witness has told police they saw a vehicle matching the description being “driven erratically” by a man with dark-coloured hair along the Melton Highway, near the intersection of Kings Rd, in Taylors Lakes around 8am that morning.
Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter has appealed for anyone who saw the vehicle to contact police.
“It’s important for us and for Mr Nguyen’s family, to find out what happened to him that day,” Det Insp Potter said.
“If we can piece together the movements of that vehicle between 5am and 9am and identify who was driving it, we may be one step closer to doing that.
“I’m also appealing for anyone that may have noticed the car in the vicinity of Majorca St in St Albans around 5.30am to come forward.”
Detectives have released photos of the car that was located burnt out in Plumpton, in the hope that someone will remember seeing it and contact them.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
