The family of a Gainsborough man killed in a hit and run over two decades ago have made a fresh appeal to find the person responsbile for his death.

John Seaton was just 25 years old when he was struck down on his way home to Walkerith after a night out back in 1995.

21 years on and his killer still hasn't been found and his family's now made a fresh appeal for information.

His brother, Nigel, told Viking how they're "desperate" for answers and will never give up hope of finding out what happened and ensure his killer's brought to justice.

Lincolnshire Police have also issued a new appeal for clues.

The force is urging anyone who might know something to get in touch. They say any new information will be investigated.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesperson told Viking:

“We would dearly like to bring justice for this family. There will be someone out there who can help us do that. We urge anyone who might have any information to get in touch. An unsolved case is never considered closed so if new evidence should come to light we will investigate it.”
