“I would also appeal to Dadelo himself to come forward and speak to us if he sees this appeal,” he added.

Members of the public have been advised not to approach Dadelo if they see him, but instead to call the police, with aEuropean Arrest Warrant also issued for the Lithuanian for other alleged violent offences in his home country.

Dadelo has links to Greater Manchester, with police believing that he may have since travelled to the Rochdale area.
