A month since the death of Kavan Brissett at Upperthorpe, his family have today released a statement as South Yorkshire Police continue to look for his killer.

The 21 year old was injured in a stabbing incident in an alleyway off Langsett Walk on Tuesday 14th August at 6.45pm and died in hospital four days later.

His aunt, Libby, has released a statement on behalf of his family, asking anyone with information to come forward:

“Four-weeks to the day our Kavan was taken from us, and we as a family, remain in shock and dismay. Our hearts will never heal, but getting justice for Kavan would make us sleep a little easier.

"Please, we would ask that anyone with any information come forward and allow us to give Kavan the dignity of justice.

"All information is of importance, no matter how small it may seem to you, it may help us solve this puzzle for our boy. Thank you."
