Another 19-year-old, David James Woods, of Marsh Lane, Bootle, Liverpool, has been charged with murder and appeared in court recently.

He is due to stand trial in November.

Detective Inspector Gary Kelly, from North Wales Police, yesterday said: “This morning specialist search team officers are carrying out a detailed search of a road/bridleway in the Connah’s Quay area for articles we believe integral to our investigation.  

“Despite one man having been charged and remanded in connection with the murder we are continuing to investigate and gather as much evidence as possible to help us build a full sequence of events. 

”To that end I’d like to reiterate our appeal for information from the local community to come forward and help us and Matthew’s family understand what happened.”
