Police hunt man in hoodie caught on CCTV near Samantha Fraser's home
CCTV footage of a man police are hunting over the death of Cowes woman Samantha Fraser has been released.
In the vision, a man is seen walking towards Ms Fraser's Seagrove Way home between 9am and 12.02pm on the day she was found dead. The man is wearing a black hoodie with a dark blue band across the midriff and arms, dark pants and dark shoes.
Police have also released CCTV of a motorbike seen in the area on the day and are investigating whether the rider may be the same man.
The mother-of-three was found dead at her home in the Phillip Island town on Monday, July 23, after she did not pick up her three children from a local primary school.
Last week police appealed for public help, including any CCTV or dashcam footage. A number of people have since provided information.
Detective Inspector Tim Day urged anyone who may have information about the identity of the man, the clothing or the motorcycle to come forward.
“At this stage we can’t account for that man being in the street and are looking to find out who he is and why he was there,” he said.
“This sighting is of vital importance to this investigation.
“Detectives are also looking at whether he possibly bought the hoodie in the days or weeks before going to the property, which is why we’re asking anyone who might recall selling a hoodie fitting this description to contact us.
“Any piece of information could be crucial in solving this murder.”
More to come.
