It was on the road above, in December 2002 that Shaun James' body was found in a lane just off Steam Mills Road in Cinderford.

His injuries were so severe that at first the people who found him didn't recognise him as a person.

The police originally thought he'd been the victim of a hit and run.

Two years ago they reviewed all the evidence and decided that he has been murdered by someone who have driven over him several times.

Last year three people were arrested in connection with the murder but the CPS has told the police there's not enough evidence to charge them with anything.

Shaun died in terrible circumstances 14 years ago, his family still cling to the hope that someone will be brought to justice however long it takes.
