Police searching for the missing Hull University student Libby Squire want to speak to four people seen on CCTV near the location she went missing.

The potential witnesses were identified in new footage released by Humberside police that shows four individuals travelling along Oak Road between 1.15am and 2.30am on 1 February, the day Squire was last seen. In the footage, one person appears to be running and then walking, a cyclist is seen twice and two people appear to be walking together.

Det Supt Martin Smalley hopes the footage will encourage witnesses to come forward with new information.



“These four people are potentially witnesses who we need to identify and speak to as part of the investigation,” he said. “While the footage isn’t clear enough for anyone to recognise who they may be, the four people in the clips will know if they were in that area at the times given and I would ask them to come forward to assist with our enquiries.

“The four people may have seen or heard something that could be vital to the investigation. If you believe you are one of them, or you know who they might be, please make contact with us on 101.”

Squire, a 21-year-old philosophy student from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, was last seen in Beverley Road, near her student home in the early hours of 1 February after a night out.

Recent police searches for the missing student have focused on land, including playing fields, surrounding Oak Road, as well as the area surrounding the River Hull.

Previous CCTV footage obtained by ITV News showed an unidentified man opening the passenger door of his vehicle before getting back into the vehicle and driving away at 12.09am, close to where Squire was last seen.

Pawel Relowicz was arrested half a mile away from Squire’s student home on 6 February on suspicion of abduction. Relowicz was charged with offences unrelated to Squire’s disappearance at Hull magistrates court the following Monday.

A statement was issued on 14 February conceding that Squire “may have come to some harm”. Replica images of the clothing she was last seen in, which include a black denim skirt, faux leather jacket and distinctive trainers, have also been released by the police.
