Murdered Paul Wilkinson's daughter's anguish one year on from horror Walker stabbing

Robbed of a loving son, partner, dad and grandad, loved ones of murdered Paul Wilkinson are still struggling to come to terms with his brutally violent death.

Today marks one year since the popular 47-year-old was knifed to death in his Newcastle home by his childhood friend Dean Johnson. The killer launched a savage stab attack on his innocent victim after taking crack cocaine for 10 hours.

Johnson was jailed for life with a minimum of 17-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to murder. But today as they mark the heart-breaking anniversary Paul's family say they still do not feel they have got justice, and they will never get over the way he died.
