'Much loved' Corey Dobbe, 23, was stabbed on Harleston Close, Hull, in June 2021

The family of a "much loved" man found stabbed in a Hull street have said they want justice four years after his killing.

Corey Dobbe, 23, died following the attack on Harleston Close on 13 June 2021 but his killer has never been found.

In a statement to mark the anniversary, Mr Dobbe's family said they would "never get over the heartbreak of losing him".

"We just want justice for Corey, our pain and distress will continue every day until those responsible face justice," they added.

Detectives have made a renewed appeal for information, adding that finding Moise Djuku, wanted in connection with the killing, continues to be their focus. To date, there have been no arrests.

Police say Moise Djuku could hold "vital information" about Mr Dobbe's death

Det Ch Insp Alan Curtis, from Humberside Police, said: "Moise Djuku is out there somewhere, I would ask again for anyone who knows where he is, to come forward and give us that vital information.

"I want to help Corey's grieving family get justice for his senseless killing. Corey Dobbe and his family deserve justice. They deserve their day in court and to bring his killer to justice."

An inquest in July 2023 heard Mr Dobbe had suffered 17 wounds to his back, chest, spine and arms when he was attacked near the Holderness Drain.

He died as a result of three fatal stab wounds to the chest and, despite the efforts of paramedics, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A £10,000 reward continues to be offered by Crimestoppers for information to help locate Mr Djuku.
