Images released of witness in double murder case

Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man and woman in East Sussex have released CCTV images of a possible witness.

Adrian Horton, 66, and his friend Uschi Schild, 46, were found dead with multiple knife wounds at Horton's home in Seven Acre Close, St Leonards, on 30 June.

"I want to stress that he is only being sought as a witness and we are not looking for further suspects.

"If you recognise him, or if you are the person shown in the CCTV image, please contact the force as soon as possible", he added.
