Family appeal on anniversary of man's stabbing

Paul Sharp was found inside a property in Rotherham seriously injured

The family of a man stabbed to death a year ago have appealed for new information about his killing.

Paul Sharp, 52, was found fatally injured at a property on Redscope Crescent in Rotherham on 25 October 2023.

In a statement released by South Yorkshire Police, his family asked anyone with information to "do the right thing" and come forward.

Det Insp David Robertson said: "We suspect people in this community know more than what is being told to us."

'Family deserve answers'

A 47-year-old man who was re-arrested on suspicion of murder last month has been released on bail pending further inquiries.

Mr Sharp's family said: "Paul wasn't perfect, but he wasn't a bad man and did not deserve to die in the way that he did.

"We ask that anyone with information to please come forward and speak to the police, if this was your loved one you would want people to do the same thing, cooperate with the police investigation and do the right thing."

Det Insp Robertson added: "Paul's family deserve answers and I want to reassure Paul's family that we are doing all we can to get to the truth.

"Any piece of information regarding Paul’s death, no matter how small or irrelevant you may think it is, may prove vital to our investigation, so please contact us."
