Family's plea a year after man found dead in flat

Damian Jackson, 50, was discovered in a flat in Lancaster with multiple injuries

The family of a man who was found dead in a flat say they have "no closure" over the death of their loved one a year after his murder.

Damian Jackson, 50, was discovered on Regent Street, Lancaster, at about 11:00 BST on 25 July 2023.

A post-mortem examination found he died from "multiple injuries" but to date, no one has been charged with Mr Jackson's murder.

His family said any "information, however small, may spark a vital breakthrough in this investigation".

Damian Jackson was captured on CCTV shopping in Aldi on the Sunday before his death

They said: "Whoever killed Damian has ripped our lives apart and we will never be the same again.

"Our beautiful brother and son was cruelly taken from us, and we will have no closure until this person is caught.

"He had a heart of gold and always saw the best in everyone.

"One year on, we desperately need you step forward to tell the police what you know."

Detectives said the last confirmed sighting of Mr Jackson was at 10.18 BST on 23 July at the Aldi store on Aldcliffe Road, Lancaster.

In March, a 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and later released under investigation.

Det Supt Gareth Willis, from Lancashire Police said: "Over the last year we have carried out an extensive investigation to try and found out what happened to Damian.

"We have continually asked the public for their help, and a year on, we ask again for any information which might help our investigation."
