Sussex Police are urgently appealing for assistance in their investigation into the double murder of two individuals found dead at a property in St Leonards.
Officers were called to Seven Acre Close shortly after 4.30am on Tuesday 30 June, where they discovered the bodies of 66-year-old Adrian Horton and 46-year-old Uschi Schild.
A 58-year-old man, Sean Gray, has been charged with their murders. However, police are now seeking to speak with a man captured on CCTV footage who may hold crucial information related to the case.
Key Witness Sought
