Police probing the fatal stabbing of a teen at the Sydney Royal Easter Show have released new footage they hope will help crack the case.

Fresh footage has been released of people police believe may help solve the stabbing death of a teenager during a brawl at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

Uati “Pele” Faletolu, 17, was fatally stabbed in the chest during the violence on April 11 this year.

Emergency services attended the carnival-ride section about 8pm following reports of a brawl during which two boys, aged 16 and 17, suffered stab wounds.

Uati, who had been on his break from working at the show’s breakdance ride, died on the way to hospital.

The younger boy underwent treatment for a wound to his leg.
