Eight days ago Tarquin Turner took his final steps across the familiar turf at Undercliffe Cricket Club.

The 31-year-old had boarded a bus near his home in Eccleshill at around 9.30pm last Thursday as he did most evenings.

After stepping off the bus in Undercliffe village, the care assistant stopped to draw £20 from a cashpoint on Otley Road before strolling along Intake Road to the club's gates.

But as he made his way into the grounds at around 10pm for a quiet pint of beer and a game of dominoes in the clubhouse, he was attacked just yards from the entrance of the club.

As he lay dying outside the club two items were stolen from him - a Nokia 8310 mobile phone and a brown leather wallet containing the withdrawn £20, a banker's card and Sky television card.

A week after the attack a team of 25 police officers, led by Detective Superintendent Phil Sedgwick retraced Mr Turner's final steps to try to gather more evidence about the killing.

They stopped more than 100 cars and spoke to hundreds of passers-by between 7pm and 10.30pm yesterday in an attempt to jog people's memories about what they were doing on the night in question.

They also made door-to-door enquiries to gather further information from residents in the area.

Det Supt Sedgwick said the exercise had been "very useful".

He said: "Several witnesses have come forward with interesting pieces of information but we would continue to appeal to people to contact us."

Mr Turner, a hospital worker, received several blows and suffered a massive injury to the back of his neck which police believe was probably caused by a flying karate kick, from someone possibly with martial arts training.

He was taken to Bradford Royal Infirmary, where he died from his injuries.

Det Supt Sedgwick said the killers were thought to live locally.

He said people needed to come forward with information, no matter how small or insignificant they thought it might be.

"People don't like to get in touch with the police," he said. "They find it stressful and it's a big step to say they might know something about a murder.

"This operation was all about stopping cars and pedestrians to see if they hold any vital information about the night in question."

Det Supt Sedgwick said the wallet had been found on a wall in Intake Road indicating that the attackers had run away along the residential street away from Killinghall Road towards Fagley.

He added that people who saw Mr Turner get off the bus and stop to withdraw cash should come forward.

"There is a possibility that someone saw Tarquin stop for money and in effect 'stalked' him and then robbed him," he said.

Mr Turner's father, Trevor, who was with police at the club, urged anyone with information to come forward.

He said: "Even if it's as insignificant as a piece of paper fluttering across the road we want people to tell the police about it."

Det Supt Sedgwick added that he was "in awe" of the Turner's for their support.

"The Turner family have been brilliant. It makes our job so much easier when the family supports our work.

"They have said they will do all they can to help us catch the people responsible."
