His daughter Gillian McFaul said: "There was no justice, but I'd love to see justice to sort of close the book."

"He missed my formal, he'll miss the day that I'll be married, the day I have my first child or whatever, he'll miss all of that.

"I'd like my father's case to be reopened because it's 10 years now and I'd like some kind of action to show they're doing something."
