Police want to speak with two new men over Jia Ashton murder.

POLICE are now tracking two men who were seen acting suspiciously in Sleetmoor Wood the day before 25-year-old Jia Ashton was murdered there.
A man, thought to be in his 50s or 60s and carrying an A4-sized folder, was being chased by a younger man who had his fist clenched.
The older man ran out into the road and was nearly run over by a woman who was driving along Somercotes Lane. It is thought he could have sprinted off down Blenheim Avenue.
Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Cotterill, said: "We'd like to trace both these men. The first man was white, six feet tall, with a slim build.
"He was in his late 50s or early 60s and was wearing a black beanie hat, a tan coloured sheepskin coat which was fastened up and the collar was hiding his face.
"Under his left arm he has what is described as a white coloured A4-sized plastic folder.
"The second man was also white, about five feet eight to nine inches tall and in his late 20s or early 30s. He had short dark hair."
Police would like to speak with these two men, as well as continuing their search for the man dressed in green who was seen acting suspiciously on the day the Warwick University graduate was murdered.
The force is also still trying to hunt down a man who was seen entering the Cotes Park Inn in Somercotes around 50 minutes after the Mrs Ashton is believed to have been murdered on March 10.
Pub-goers have told police this man's behaviour drew attention to himself and the force have released a CCTV image of him.
As the murder inquiry continues into its fifth week, 2,000 people have come into the enquiry as witnesses, offering information or as suspects; 1,000 exhibits of evidence have been gathered and more than 350 statements have been taken.
And a Facebook advert appealing for information has now been seen by 1.5 million people within a 40 kilometre radius of Somercotes, with 850 web users clicking through to the police website for more information.
Mr Cotterill described the murder inquiry as "complex".
He said: "The inquiry team is working long hours to sift through all the information and follow up lines of enquiry. Officers are still making house-to-house visits in an attempt to gather evidence to trace Jia's killer. This is a long and complex investigation."
Anyone who has any information should contact police on 0345 123 33 33 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
