DETECTIVES investigating the alleged "road rage" murder of a young male motorist on a remote country lane last night stopped all vehicles using the route he took on the night he was killed.
Thirty police officers set up eight roadblocks along the four mile route where Mr Lee Harvey (25) was said to have been pursued by his killer's car.
Police disclosed earlier that a 27 year old woman arrested on Saturday was still detained in hospital suffering from a mysterious illness. Detectives have so far been unable to question the suspect about Mr Harvey's brutal killing.
The murder victim, of The Becks, Alvechurch, Worcestershire, was stabbed more than 15 times and had his throat cut.
His fiancee, Ms Tracie Andrews (27), told a news conference last week that the couple left the Marlbrook public house in Bromsgrove just after 10 p.m. last Sunday. After overtaking another car, Mr Harvey realised he was being followed closely by the vehicle behind, which was repeatedly flashing headlights.
Ms Andrews, who had a black eye and stitches above her eyebrow, which, she said, were inflicted by her fiancee's killer, said Mr Harvey stopped their car on Coopers Hill, a single track lane less than a mile from their home, and had an argument with the driver.
Then the passenger in the car got out and frenziedly attacked Mr Harvey. Ms Andrews told police he was a fat man with staring eyes.
