Detectives believe he could hold vital information about the brutal attack, which is believed to have been drugs related.

Previous images of Ali show him bearing a distinctive gold tooth but detectives now believe he may have removed it.

This is after new pictures taken on Saturday, June 30, 2018, were recovered from a mobile phone and clearly show him with a missing front tooth.

"More lines of enquiry have opened up recently which we are pursuing in our continued search for him. 

"It is clear to me that someone is helping or hiding Abdi Ali. I want to remind that person or people that in doing so they are too committing a crime. 

"I want to appeal to the public not to approach Abdi Ali as he can be a dangerous man when confronted. Call the police first. 

"The murder of Shaun Lyall was a heinous crime, and we have been working closely with his family and providing support to them through what has been a very difficult time.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call Humberside Police on 101.
