Police in Lancashire say a man who was stabbed to death at a house in Fleetwood last week had family and friends in the Isle of Man.
Officers are building up a picture of Peter Curtis and are appealing to people who knew him to get in touch.
A man has been arrested and charged with the murder of the 60 year-old.
Detective Inspector Jan Besan from Lancashire Police says it's thought Mr Curtis spent a fair bit of time on the Island and may have had a business here (play attached audio file):
