Family of man murdered in Lancaster say they will have 'no closure' until his killer his found

The family of a man who was found dead in his home exactly a year ago say they will have no closure, until his 'evil' killer is brought to justice.

Damian Jackson, 50 was found dead in his flat at Regent Street, Lancaster, on 25th July last year.

A Home Office post-mortem found that he had died as a result of multiple injuries.

Paying tribute to Damian, his family said: "This devastating grief simply does not go away. It is with us all every single day.

"Whoever killed Damian has ripped our lives apart and we will never be the same again.

"Our beautiful brother and son was cruelly taken from us, and we will have no closure until this person is caught."

The tribute continued: "Every day we look for the good in people, just like Damian would. He had a heart of gold and always saw the best in everyone.

"He never had a bad word to say about anyone.

"He had time, love, and space for those who needed it, as so many people have said, and this is makes this tragedy even more painful.

"Who would do such an evil thing as to take the life of someone so good?”

"One year on, we desperately need you step forward to tell the police what you know.

"Your information, however small, may spark a vital breakthrough in this investigation."

Detectives investigating Damian’s death, say the last confirmed sighting of him was at 10.18am on Sunday 23rd July at the Aldi store, Aldcliffe Road, Lancaster.

In March, a 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and later released under investigation.

Det Supt Gareth Willis, Lancashire Police's Head of Major Crime, said: "It is 12 months since Damian’s death and my thoughts remain very much with his family.

"Over the last year we have carried out an extensive investigation to try and found out what happened to Damian.

"We have continually asked the public for their help, and a year on, we ask again for any information which might help our investigation."

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting log 0535 of 25th July 2023.
