The family of a man kidnapped and murdered in Coventry have shared a further emotional plea three years after he disappeared.
33 year-old Johnny Robbins, disappeared on 21 March 2018.
It's believe he was tortured before being murdered & his body has not been found.
His family said:
“Not a day goes by that Johnny isn’t missed and thought about by his family. His children, his mum, his brothers and sisters and his many friends.
"It’s been three long, distraught years and we’re still no nearer to knowing what happened to him, why it happened or where he is.
“However, we are confident that the Homicide team working on this case are as committed now as they were three years ago and that they will achieve justice for Johnny, Daniel Shaw and our families."
Johnny’s death was linked to Daniel Shaw’s murder.
Daniel was found with gunshot injuries to his chest in Copland Place in the Tile Hill area on 25 March 2018.
A number of people have been arrested during the investigation, for a number of offences, and have all been released while investigations continue.
West Midlands Police are currently working with the CPS and will soon be presenting the extensive and complex evidence they've gathered.
Superintendent Chris Mallett, who leads the investigation, said:
“I’d like to speak once again directly to the people of Coventry - these sickening murders happened on your streets. Streets where your families and loved ones live, these levels of violence are completely incomprehensible and should not be tolerated. It’s time to make a stand against violence like this.
“The people responsible have been protected for too long. I understand people’s fears and concerns, but I urge you to do the right thing and tell us what you know.
“Johnny and Daniel’s family and friends have been suffering for three years, there is no closure for them when there are still so many questions surrounding what happened, and those responsible are walking freely, and not paying for what they did."
