The parents of Matthew Daulby, a 19-year-old who was tragically killed in a stabbing incident, are pleading for the public’s help in locating a man linked to their son’s murder. The incident took place in Ormskirk during a brawl between two groups of men from Ormskirk and Maghull. Matthew was struck on the head and fatally stabbed during the altercation. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries.
Harry Houghton, who was initially linked to the murder, was found guilty and handed a life sentence. However, the whereabouts of another man named Thomas Dures remain unknown. It is believed that Dures has fled to Spain, prompting an international search for his whereabouts.
Matthew’s parents, Gary and Angela Daulby, are devastated by their son’s untimely death and are urging anyone with information about Dures’ location to come forward. The emotional toll of the ongoing search for Dures has been immense for the family, who are desperate for closure and justice.
Despite the guilty verdict for Houghton, the family continues to seek answers about the events leading to Matthew’s death. They are appealing to the public, especially those who may have assisted Dures in fleeing the country, to provide any information that could lead to his arrest.
The police have offered a £20,000 reward for details leading to Dures’ arrest and are working with international law enforcement agencies to track him down. The family is pleading for anyone with information to do the right thing and help bring Dures to justice.
Matthew was a promising young man with plans for the future, including learning to drive, starting a college course, and a trip to Ibiza. His family is determined to find closure and justice for their beloved son.
The authorities are urging anyone in Spain with information about Dures’ whereabouts to come forward and assist in the investigation. Crimestoppers is offering a way for individuals to provide information anonymously, ensuring their safety while helping to locate Dures.
The search for Thomas Dures continues, and Matthew’s family is hopeful that with the public’s help, they will soon find the answers they seek. Their plea is a heartfelt one, asking for the community’s support in bringing closure to this tragic chapter in their lives.
