His older brother Jonathan, 39, is a person of interest in the investigation.
Homicide Squad head Detective Inspector Mick Hughes said last week police believed Jonathan was the man captured on CCTV footage at the scene of the crime.

Footage shows a man carrying a bag, which looks like a spirit level bag, in the lift lobby about 24 hours before David was killed.
It's believed CCTV also captured the attack, where what police described as an edged weapon, possibly a sword, was used in the violent assault.
Jonathan, who lives by himself in Seymour, has been missing since the assault.
Their youngest brother Simon had door-knocked his neighbours in Seymour last Sunday to try and break the news of David's death to him.
Jonathan, who friends said had a close relationship with David and had lived with him before he moved to Seymour, was named as a person of interest three days later. He has recently been diagnosed with a mental health condition.
Investigators appealed for information on anyone who saw the blue Ford Fairmont in the lead-up to the crime or in the days afterwards. Police said the other car Jonathan had access to, the white station wagon, was not of interest to the investigation.
Images of Jonathan and the blue Ford Fairmont have been released in the hope someone may recognise him or have information on his current whereabouts.
