Detectives investigating the murder of a Lancaster man have renewed their appeal for witnesses and information.
Damian Jackson, 50, was found dead in his flat at 54, Regent Street, Lancaster, on Tuesday, July 25.
A Home Office post-mortem established that he died of multiple injuries. Police said he had been subjected to a violent attack.
Since then police have studied CCTV footage from Regent Street and the surrounding area and spoken to residents about any sightings of Mr Jackson and suspicious activity they might have seen in the area around the time of his death.
Forensic experts and crime scene investigators have also examined his flat in detail.
The last confirmed sighting of Damian was at 10.18am on Sunday, July 23, at the Aldi store in Aldcliffe Road, Lancaster, and video footage of him leaving the shop has been released.
Detective Chief Inspector Jane Webb of Lancashire Police’s Force Major Incident Team, said on Tuesday: “It’s three weeks since Damian died and our investigation has been a very detailed one.
“Damian lived alone and we have been building up a picture of his lifestyle, his routine and who he had contact with.
“We are keeping his family regularly informed.
“Every piece of information which the public give us we are grateful for, and we continue to appeal to them for their help.
“Someone knows what happened to Damian at his flat and the answers will be within the local community.”
In a statement, his family said: “The whole family is beyond devastated at the loss of our beloved son and brother.
“Damian was humble and gentle, well loved by many across Lancaster, with a great sense of humour. He is much missed by us all and his death has left an enormous hole in our lives.”
