The family of a "loyal and loving" son found stabbed in an alleyway have still not seen justice done a year after his death.
James Richards, 33, was found dead by a member of the public in a private passage between Woodbine Street and Harebell Street, Kirkdale, on September 22 last year. Three men, aged 22, 32 and 38, and a woman, aged 32, were arrested on suspicion of murder but then released on bail.
So far no-one has been charged in connection with the death of Mr Richards from the L11 area of Liverpool. A year on, Merseyside Police confirmed Mr Richards' cause of death was a single stab wound to the abdomen.
