Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Mark O'Shea, from South Wales Police, said: "We now believe the murder of Tomasz Waga is linked to an organised crime group with connections to Albania, north London, Huddersfield and Bradford.
"These individuals may have links to other towns and cities across the UK.
"We also need to consider the possibility that the outstanding suspects have fled the UK and for that reason we are working very closely with international law enforcement agencies."
Individuals sought are Josif Nushi, 26, Mihal Dhana, 27, and Gledis Mehalla, 19.
They had links to a property on Newport Road where a cannabis factory was discovered shortly after Mr Waga's body was found.
They fled Cardiff on Friday, January 29, and they have links to Lushnje in Albania.
DCI O'Shea, from South Wales Police, added: "Tomasz was a much-loved son, brother, father and partner to his girlfriend and we urge anyone with information to please come forward."
