Brianna Ghey, 16, was found with multiple stab wounds on a footpath in Linear Park, Culcheth on Saturday shortly after 3pm and died at the scene.
Cheshire Police Officer Mike Evans described it as a “really terrible attack”.
He said police wanted to speak to a woman and a man in their 20s who were seen in the park.
He also described the details of the appearance of both. He said they had dark curly hair, adding: “The man wore a long dark coat with a hood, and the woman wore a distinctive red or purple and black coat and a long flowing skirt, dress or trousers.”
“We also want to speak to anyone who was in the park between approximately 1.30pm and 4pm and anyone who may have seen Brianna in the hours leading up to her death.”
