Police have continued their appeal for information on the first anniversary of Paul Sharp’s death.

Officers found Paul, 52, with a host of life threatening injuries at the property on Redscope Crescent,  Rotherham.

Detective Inspector David Robertson, the lead investigator, believes people in the community may hold crucial information. “We know there are answers out there.

“Paul’s family deserves justice, and we urge anyone who knows something to contact us. Even the smallest detail could be vital.”
