HUNT FOR JONATHAN DICK AFTER BROTHER DAVID MURDERED AT WESTFIELD DONCASTER
NEW CCTV CLUE TO MURDER OF DAVID DICK AT WESTFIELD DONCASTER
MARCH 11: POTENTIAL SIGHTING OF JONATHAN DICK REPORTED IN NORTHCOTE
Homicide squad detectives have revealed no new leads in the case but are continuing on the belief Jonathan is still alive and evading authorities.
“Despite extensive searches, Jonathan is yet to be located,” Victoria Police spokeswoman Natalie Webster said.
“Detectives urge Jonathan to make contact with police and anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.”
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.
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.
