“Korrin was loved by everyone who met him – with a smile that lit up every room,” they said.
“He was a loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, partner and friend to so many. He was also the best dad to his little girl.”
Northumbria Police confirmed the investigation into Korrin’s death is ongoing and today reissued their plea for information.
Sergeant Craig Bartle, of Northumbria Police ’s motor patrols department, said: “It is clear just how loved Korrin was and our thoughts remain with his family as they attempt to come to terms with what has happened.
“We are determined to get them the answers they deserve, and that’s why I’m continuing to ask anybody who thinks they might know anything that can assist our investigation to get in touch.”
The force is asking anyone who was travelling on the A183 Chester Road around the areas of Grindon and Pennywell, who thinks they may have seen a motorcycle around that time, to check their dashcam footage.
“Your information, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could prove the key to this investigation,” added Sgt Bartle.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Northumbria Police via their website or by calling 101 quoting log NP-20221114-0998.
