Police have named a suspect wanted over the murder of a 37-year-old man who was found stabbed to death in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Carlo Dawes, 34, from the Bevendean area of Brighton, East Sussex, is a married father of two and was named by police on Saturday. Dawes is being sought in connection with the death of the man who was found at a flat in Taunton Road, Brighton, at 5.20am on Saturday.
Paramedics were called to the property but were unable to save his life and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detective Inspector Phil Mays, from Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: "This is a tragic incident involving a small number of people who we believe were acquainted.
"We are keen to talk to Carlo Dawes in order to eliminate him from our inquiries.
"If you know where Carlo is please call us on 101 quoting Op Abinger. You can also make an anonymous call to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 111 555.
"We are in the early stages of the investigation and are trying to establish the exact circumstances that lead up to the victim receiving his fatal injuries.
"Although the suspect is outstanding we do not believe he is a threat to the wider public and we have committed a large number of resources in the hope of finding him soon.
"A police cordon and uniformed officers remain at the scene whilst forensic examinations of the flat and surrounding areas are carried out."
