FOR 20 years Susan McCarthy, Sandra Gomm and Angela Cook have lived with the pain of not knowing who killed their father.

Their mother Gwendoline did not live to see the killer of Leonard Gomm brought to justice but they still hold on to that hope.

They said: “Twenty years ago, our father was brutally attacked while carrying out the job he had loved for many years.

“He was 75 years old and no threat to anyone. There was no need to attack him so violently or inflict such vicious injuries. He had been happily married to our mother, who has since passed away, for many years and they should have been looking forward to spending their twilight years together and enjoying their children and grandchildren.

“Time has passed, but still we never forget the loss we suffered, when Father was taken away from us.

“We are aware of the reinvestigation by the police and support their work.

“He deserves the justice that has not yet been found.”
