A reward of up to £10,000 is being offered by Crimestoppers for information leading to the arrest of a man wanted in connection with a murder in Ormskirk.

Matthew Daulby, 19, was stabbed to death in Ormskirk town centre on July 29.

Officers were called to Railway Road in the town and found Matthew a short distance away with stab injuries. Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he later died in hospital.
