Fresh appeal four years after murder of Bridgnorth worker Tom Kirwan

Mr Kirwan's mother, Emer, speaking on the fourth anniversary of his death, has demanded 'justice for Tom' and said she would fight 'until the day I die'.

Detectives said today they were also still determined to secure justice for his family.

Mr Kirwan, a Wolves fan, was stabbed to death outside Uberra, the former Canal Club in Wolverhampton. Trouble broke out between two groups on July 8, 2012, before more people arrived in cars, joined in and 23-year-old Tom was stabbed. He later died in hospital. His mother said: "It is four years and still no justice. I will fight until the day I die. I promised him I would get him justice." She added: "I want a fresh investigation."

The mass brawl at the club was sparked when a woman's handbag was knocked over inside and involved more than a dozen people. Mr Kirwan, who worked at Bridgnorth Aluminium, was fatally stabbed during the fighting. Despite numerous police appeals for information no-one has ever stood before a court charged with his murder.

Five people were locked up for taking part in the trouble outside Uberra, now The Boatyard, in 2014 after being found guilty of affray after a trial. A sixth man was acquitted. Mrs Kirwan said she was saddened the addition of a £15,000 reward for inforamtion last year had not prompted any witnesses to come forward.

She said: "We thought if we were to put a substantial reward up it might push somebody into coming forward with the information, but it didn't, which was a massive blow.

"I cannot believe that my son was taken away. People saw what was happening and nobody wanted to speak out. It feels like it happened yesterday. I'm tormented by it all. I can't believe that it has happened and I expect him to walk in. It is extremely hard.

He was my rock.

"He kept me going and it was all taken away from me and, to top it all off, the person who did it is still free. If there's anybody out there with any information, please come forward.

"It will never bring Tom back and I will always feel like this, but justice is a tiny bit of closure."

Det Insp Warren Hines, who has been investigating the murder since 2012, said the family understandably wanted justice.

He said: "This remains a live murder investigation and we are still appealing to anyone who has any information that could help us to come forward. This was a huge investigation for us where we took more than 350 statements and explored every piece of CCTV in Wolverhampton that could to help answer the question of who killed Tom."
