“We are urging anyone in the community who knows the identity of these men or has information about those vehicles to come forward, or for those people to make contact with police themselves.
“It may be that it has no connection, but we really need to speak to these three men, and the occupants of those two vehicles to find out more.
“We’re hopeful that the investigation can provide some answers to the victims’ families about why this has occurred.
