Street, Keighley, in the early hours of Sunday, February, 8.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Officers from West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team are continuing to carry out extensive enquiries to establish the full circumstances.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Arrests update<\/p>\n<p>\n  Mr Choudry had reportedly been chased and assaulted by a group, armed with weapons, such as bats and sticks, in the vicinity of East Avenue, in what is believed to have been a targeted attack.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A 27-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder, was released on bail last night.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A 30-year-old man, previously arrested on suspicion of murder, and a 33-year-old man, previously arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remain on bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>  Police appeal<\/p>\n<p>\n  Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Holdsworth, said: \u201cSuhail\u2019s family are completely devastated at his death in such sudden and violent circumstances.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He added: \u201cThe investigation is still in its early stages and we are working hard to build up a fuller picture of the circumstances that led up to the attack on Suhail in the early hours of Sunday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cOur enquiries suggest there had been a number of other violent incidents in Keighley in the days leading up to his murder, which may be linked, and we are keen to hear from anyone with any information about those that could assist us.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWe appreciate that people will have concerns and may be reluctant to tell us what they know, but we want to reassure them that we will treat any information and the source of any information as sensitively as possible.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIt is vital that anyone who does have information that could help to get Suhail\u2019s family the answers they need, passes that on to us.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cOur online Major Incident Public Portal is a discreet way for people to contact us and provide information, as well as to upload CCTV, phone, dashcam or doorbell footage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe independent charity Crimestoppers is a completely anonymous way for people to provide information with no details recorded of where it has come from and I would also encourage anyone who has information to consider using this way.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  &#8216;Concern in wider community&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n  He said the incident has caused &#8220;understandable concern in the wider community and we are continuing to work closely alongside our colleagues at Bradford District to provide reassurance and to keep the community updated on the progress of our investigation.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe support of the community is vital to an investigation of this seriousness, and we encourage anyone who does have information to do the right thing and let us know.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Major Incident Public Portal can be accessed at https:\/\/mipp.police.uk\/operation\/13XM020126B87-PO1\n<\/p>\n<p>\n
