A number of arrests have been made in connection with Daniel's murder, but the senior investigating officer said it was a complex inquiry and as much information as possible was needed.

Detective Chief Inspector John Middleton, of Merseyside Police, said: "We still want to hear from anyone who saw the incident itself, or saw anything suspicious in the vicinity of Belle Vale Road, and the field opposite Woodholme Court around 9pm on the night of July 3.

"We also want to re-appeal to anyone who was passing through Belle Vale Road at around 9pm who may have dash-cam footage showing any of the events before or after this incident.

"We know that there will be more information out there in the community, from people who may not have come forward yet, either who were there on the night, or who know who was.

"Friends, parents, guardians, teachers, anyone who has sat back until now, please search your consciences and do the right thing. Daniel's family are going through an unimaginable ordeal, and you can help them and the community in removing those involved from the streets."
