Daughter's bravery highlights why justice must be served - the YEP says

Just days after she turned three her beloved dad Adam Chadwick was gunned down on his sister’s doorstep - a victim of mistaken identity.

And for the last 12 years his family have been desperately searching for answers yet despite extensive appeals police are still no closer to closing in on those responsible for Adam’s death.

Ruby today said she has been “robbed of a part of her childhood”. While her friends have precious memories and milestone moments with their fathers, Ruby only has cherished photographs and stories from her family about his life.

Speaking candidly, Ruby said she doesn’t even know what it feels like to have a dad.

The 15-year-old’s bravery speaks volumes as she joins her family’s plea.

They have suffered enough and surely someone somewhere in this city knows what happened.

They deserve answers and justice.

And most important of all for Ruby’s sake: they deserve closure.
