Sudden death of Wilfred Holmes: Police appeal for information

Police investigating the sudden death of a man in north Belfast have appealed for help in tracing his last movements.

Wilfred Holmes, who was 45 and known as Wilfie, was originally from Ballymoney, but had been living in Belfast.

His body was found in Donegall Street at about 11.30pm on Wednesday.

He had been in Derry earlier in the day, before travelling back to Belfast.

He was about 5ft 9ins tall, with blue eyes, dark short brown hair and of medium build.

Police want anyone with any information to contact them.

Detective Inspector Michelle Griffin said: “I am keen to gather as much information as possible about Wilfred’s movements.

“I would ask anyone who has information to get in touch with detectives at Reactive and Organised Crime at Musgrave on the non-emergency number 101 quoting reference number 1420 of the 21/09/16.”

DI Griffith concluded: “The smallest detail just might help us establish where Wilfred was during this time, what he was doing and who he was with.”
