Police investigating the murder of a man who was walking home from a pub on Merseyside are making a fresh plea for information, seven years on.

Adam Ellison was stabbed in the neck after getting into "an altercation" with two men on a scrambler bike, on November 04 2017.

He died in hospital just two hours later, and since then, no-one has been charged in connection with what happened.

Detectives are now pushing for anyone with information about who was on the bike to get in touch.

Crimstoppers is also offering a £20,000 reward for information that exclusively leads to a murder conviction.

Detective Chief Inspector Cath Cummings said: “It is heartbreaking that Adam’s finally have not had the justice they deserve.

“Seven years on from his death the pain of losing them is no less for his mum, dad and sisters and we continue to do whatever we can to support them, review the evidence and follow up any new lines of enquiry.

“We know, as is often the case, that the key to cracking this lies within our local communities. There are people out there who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to come forward and tell us what they know.

“It is to those people that I make this appeal – please search your conscience and put yourself in the shoes of a grieving family. If you have information which could assist please speak up.

“If you don’t want to speak to the police then you can pass on information anonymously via Crimestoppers but please don’t let those who are responsible for Adam’s death continue to walk our streets.”
