Supt Brian Beasley, of Notts Police City Division, said: "Our enquiries are continuing to build up a picture of what happened last night but we still need to speak to anyone who may have seen or heard anything around 5pm last night in the Bilborough area. Did you hear the sound of a firearm being discharged?

"We believe a silver Ford Fiesta carrying two or three men, is linked to this murder. Did you see it driving at speed or erratically through Bilborough, Wollaton, or Trowell.

"A vehicle matching the description was discovered burnt out in the Cossall Lane area. If you know anything about this, I would urge you to contact us."

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the incident room at West Bridgford on 0115 8446916 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
