Detective Pleads for Public Help in Stunning TV Appeal
“Darren was only 22 when he was murdered. His death devastated his family,” said Detective Chief Inspector Lynsey Watters. “We’re doing everything we can to bring those responsible to justice.”
“The public did assist back then, but I believe there are still people holding back information for whatever reason. This national television appeal aims to reach those people or jog someone’s memory — even seemingly small details could be crucial.”
