A local resident discovered the body at around 8.30am on Tuesday, November 2, in front of a derelict building in Grand Avenue.
Investigating officers would like to speak to the man pictured, who was captured on CCTV on the property of the cat’s owners, as he may have information that could assist in the enquiry.
