DETECTIVES have re-launched an international appeal for help to hunt down a man from Lymm wanted in connection with a brutal murder in Cheshire.

Christopher Guest More, aged 37, is accused of fleeing the country following the murder of Brian Waters, aged 44, of Stapeley.

Mr Waters died after he was tied up, beaten with metal bars, whipped and burned with acid during a three hour ordeal at Burnt House Farm, Tabley, near Knutsford, in June 2003.

Three men were jailed for life after being convicted of Mr Waters' murder following trials in 2004 and 2007.

But Interpol want to find More as police suspect he was a part of the gang who travelled to the remote farmhouse to carry out the horrific attack.

Police allege that the brutal murder took place after the gang’s demands for money were refused. 

More is also wanted for the attempted murder of a second man and for the false imprisonment and assault of other victims present during the incident.

For more than decade, detectives have been unable to hunt down Moore.

It is believed he flew to Spain in June 2003 but his current whereabouts is unknown.

It has been reported that More has links to Spain and Malta.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
