THE detective leading the hunt for the killer of Irvine mother Ms

Shona Stevens has asked three men seen near the spot where she died to

come forward and help his investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Bob Lauder said the three could have vital

information which may help in solving the killing. Ms Stevens, 31, who

lived with her mother and seven-year-old daughter in the town's Alder

Green, was found with head injuries in Bourtreehill Park on November 10.

She died three days later.

The first of the three men is aged 30 to 40, 5ft 10ins, stocky, with

sandy hair, and wearing a short cream or buff jacket. The second is in

his early 30s, 5ft 6ins to 5ft 8ins, medium build, and wearing a brown

jacket and brown trousers. He was walking a Doberman dog. The third is

slim with hair thinning on top and was riding a bicycle.
