“Today, Saturday, 27 December, would have been Jordan’s 27th birthday. It’s an extremely difficult time for his family. They’re being supported by specialist officers and have requested their privacy is respected.
“We have a dedicated team of major investigation and local officers working on this inquiry, using all available resources.
“While we’re conducting CCTV and forensic investigations, I would like to appeal directly to the compassion of the community: Please, if you have any information on who is responsible for Jordan’s death, come forward and report it to us. It may be this information is known in the local area.”
