'There's an emptiness that should not be inside me because somebody murdered my dad'

'There's an emptiness that should not be inside me because somebody murdered my dad' She was a baby when her dad was stabbed to death on Father's Day - she's now aged 12 but she and her family have still not seen justice over his death Christian Bagley was murdered on Father's Day, 2015 (Image: Crimestoppers ) She was just 19 months old when her father was killed. Now aged 12, the daughter of Christian Bagley has written a letter describing the void left behind by his death, as the tenth anniversary of his unsolved murder approaches. On the night of June 21, 2015 , Christian, 30, was attacked while walking through Hereford after spending Father's Day with his young daughter. ‌ He had been heading home via Villa Street and the riverside path known locally as 'The Lines' when he was stabbed near a set of concrete steps leading down to the path. ‌ Despite suffering severe injuries, Christian managed to reach Charles Witts Avenue to seek help. Emergency services arrived quickly, but he died at the scene. A kitchen carving knife was found deeply embedded in his arm, but the broken handle was never recovered. The subsequent investigation led to several arrests in 2016, but all were released without charge. The case has remained unsolved. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here Ten years on, Crimestoppers has offered a £20,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction. As part of the renewed appeal, police have shared a letter from Mr Bagley's daughter, in which she reflects on a childhood without her father, reports the BBC. Article continues below "Somebody taking my dad away from me when I was little is something that can never be replaced," she wrote "I have no memories of my dad or his presence in my life - only what other people have told me. "There's an emptiness that should not be inside me because somebody murdered my dad, that void within myself will always be there. She continued: "I [was] never given the chance to get to know him or for him to watch me grow up... I'll never be able to spend Father's Day, Christmas Day or a birthday, with my dad." ‌ "They still haven't found who killed my dad, or any answers to why somebody cruelly took him away." Speaking to the BBC, Christian's mother, Janette Bagley, said the family had been left shattered by his death. "He had a sister, he had brothers, he had aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews. And most of all, he had a baby girl - and that baby girl was his world," she said. "And Christian was my world." She called on anyone who might be protecting those responsible to come forward. "Are you going to do the right thing and let this family have some peace? Let this family be able to grieve and move on, because they can't." ‌ As the family marks ten years without justice, police are appealing once again to the public for help. Detective Chief Inspector Gareth Lougher, of West Mercia Police, said: "It has now been ten years since Christian's life was so cruelly taken, leaving a young daughter to grow up without her father. We remain determined to find those responsible and bring them to justice. "We are urging anyone who was in the area of Villa Street, Hunderton Bridge, or the Great Western Way on that night, or who may have any information - no matter how small - to come forward. Your information could be the key to finally solving this case.' If you have any information regarding Christian's death, call Crimestoppers anonymously via 0800 555 111 or fill in their quick and easy online form, which can be found on their website. Article continues below According to the Crimestoppers website, t he reward will only be payable for information passed directly to Crimestoppers and not to the police.

£4m Lotto win puts Harley-Davidson fan on the road to early retirement

A Harley-Davidson lover is planning an easy ride into retirement after winning nearly £4 million on the National Lottery. Jon Waring, 57, has already handed in his notice at Devon and Cornwall Police where he has worked as a radio operator for 16 years. Meanwhile, his wife Lucy, 48, is working her notice as a nurse at Torbay Hospital. The couple, from Paignton in Devon, who have a 15-year-old daughter, are planning to take life at a more relaxed pace thanks to the Lotto jackpot win. They already have their bucket list planned out with a Harley-Davidson trike bike topping the shopping list for Mr Waring, while a hot tub is the number one priority for his wife. A new family home in the Paignton area is also high on the wish list. Mr Waring said his huge win, which saw him match six numbers in the Lotto draw on May 31 still does not feel real. 'I keep thinking I am going to wake up from a dream,' he said. The family are all keen musicians and plan to create a music room in their new home where they can all play as well as listen to their favourite bands. 'This will be the perfect place to display the family's guitar collection – and potentially add to it too,' Mr Waring said. 'As a family, we love rock music and now the world really is our oyster – we hope to get the chance to attend gigs up and down the country. 'This win will just enable us all to slow down, enjoy life – and of course hit that road on the sunny days ahead on our new trike.' Mr Waring woke at 4am to discover he had won the £3,966,543 jackpot. 'Something just made me go to check my emails and I saw an email saying I had won a prize,' he said. 'I went to Google the winning numbers and noticed there was just one winner – and knew it must have been me. 'I couldn't quite believe it – I knew they were my numbers. I turned my tablet off – left it five minutes – and then turned it back on to double and triple check. 'I woke Lucy, and she said, still half asleep, 'Is it April 1?'. I said no, it is June. 'We just could not believe it – there was no way we were getting back to sleep. We just sat and drank tea – we must have had 10 cups between us.' Mr Waring, who is also a keen rugby fan, said a box at Exeter Chiefs and a trip to see the Lions tour are also on his wish list, together with a new car, an Audi Q7. 'It's a complete change of lifestyle – it won't change us, but it will change what we can do. And the pace at which we do it, too.' He said with the nature of his job, and his wife's, it has been hard to get holidays to match up and the couple do not even have current passports. 'As a result of our shift work, we have not had a proper holiday together for a long, long time,' he said. 'We are now really looking forward to booking something and knowing we can just holiday when we choose. Perhaps a trip to New Orleans for the music. 'It's all the things you dream about trying and seeing but know you never will, until something like this happens.' Mr Waring has always played Lotto each week since the game started and now plays online. His winning numbers were: 8, 11, 12, 16, 20 and 33.
