Officers are looking for Kenneth Kirton of Surrey, after a female relative of his was stabbed last night.

He is aboriginal, 5’5” tall, with a thin build, short black hair, brown eyes and a scar on the bridge of his nose.
He also has a tattoo of the word “love” on his left fingers and was last seen wearing a black jacket.
Anyone who sees him is asked not to approach, and to call 9-1-1.
