The family of Ryan Passey, a 19-year-old Stourbridge man stabbed to death in a nightclub, have renewed their call for a change in the law on the fourth anniversary of his death.
The Justice for Ryan campaign wants the law to allow for more grounds to appeal against acquittals after the man who stabbed Mr Passey was cleared of murder and manslaughter.
The family's campaign has the support of local MP Suzanne Webb who said she has met with them today to mark the anniversary.
"As each year passes without justice, it must get harder for them but I pay tribute to their tenacity in wanting Justice for Ryan," she said.
In a statement online, the family said they were "moving forward and we are getting closer and closer to finally getting justice".
It's a bit wet out there again today, but at least the bumblebees are happy.
