RESPONSE TO CRIMEWATCH ANTHONY CAVANAGH APPEAL
MERSEYSIDE
Police Detectives have said that there has been a positive response
from the public following the Crimewatch show on BBC One, which
included an appeal for information in the Anthony Cavanagh murder
investigation.
Anthony Cavanagh who
was a Royal Navy seaman, was on shore leave and out with friends
during the early hours of Saturday, 24 September 2005, in
Liverpoolcity centre. He had gone into the Walkabout bar in Concert
Square with his friends and had accidentally knocked into a man who
he didn't know. This incident resulted in a drink being thrown at
Anthony and an argument took place. Sometime later at about 1.45am
Anthony and his friends went to leave the bar and were confronted by
a group of men that included the man who had been bumped into
earlier. One of this group then punched Anthony causing him to fall
to the floor. He was taken to the Royal Liverpool University
Hospital and was then transferred to the specialist Walton
Neurological Centre where he died on 5 October, 2005.
The new appeal for
help lead to Merseyside Police Officers who had travelling to London
from Liverpool to answer the phones in the BBC studio to new leads.
Over the night officers fielded at least 15 calls and a number of
text messages related to this case. Detective Chief Inspector Tim
Keelan, said:- "We have received a very positive response from
the public following the Crimewatch appeal last night. Out of those
we had one really important one from someone calling us anonymously
with information about who may have thrown the punch and we also
received a text message providing us with names of who was there
when Anthony was attacked. We really need to speak to both those
people again so I would appeal for them to re-contact us as their
information may be crucial to bringing those responsible for
Anthony's death to justice It was a very encouraging response and I
would like to thank the public for contacting us and would urge
anyone else who has information to contact the incident room on:-
0151 777 4064 or Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555 111."
