David Dick, 36, was fatally wounded in the carpark of the Westfield Doncaster complex early on February 3 last year.

CCTV before the attack showed a man — later suspected to be Jonathan — carrying a sword thought to be used in the murder.

The last confirmed sighting of Jonathan, who turned 40 on Friday, was about 7am on the day of his brother’s murder walking south on Wamba Rd in Ivanhoe East, having dump­ed his 1997 blue Ford Fairmont.

The Herald Sun revealed a police search of bushland and the Yarra River in the area about five months later.

A potential sighting of the fugitive in Northcote last March was among several the force had looked at as part of its manhunt.

New CCTV released in murder hunt

Dick — who could be armed with a knife — is about 180cm, 88kg and of solid build with short, dark, greying hair.

He has a tattoo of “Wolverine vs Sabretooth” on his right thigh extending to his knee and is believed to have another tattoo on one calf.

He is described as a loner and is believed to be adept at living on the streets with little or no money.

Detectives have said the plasterer, who lived in Seym­our, often visited Melbourne’s northern suburbs for work.

Footage showed him weeks before the attack withdrawing $100 from a bank branch in the area.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via crimestoppersvic.com.au
