“Simon was murdered on the 19 December 2025 at approximately 9.35pm. Since that day, our family has been living with unimaginable grief, heartache and anxiety that his killer hasn’t been found. Every day, we are reminded of the life that was taken from us and the questions that remain unanswered.
“It has now been six months since Simon’s passing, and we, as a family, deserve answers, closure, and justice for Simon. No family should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one without knowing the full truth of what happened.”
