All media are advised that the assertions made to a Radio Live host this afternoon about activities earlier this year of homicide victim, 21 year-old David Cerven of Slovakia, are entirely incorrect.
The details and recollections provided by the interviewee related to a completely different young man and his father, neither of whom were Slovakian.
Police had not had any interactions with David Cerven, whose father has been dead for some time, of the nature described by the interviewee and were not aware of his identity until late last week.
