It is believed the vehicle was in the Hull area immediately before it was driven over the Humber Bridge towards Ian’s address in Wootton.
“You can make contact with the independent charity Crimestoppers completely anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you have any information, no matter how small or insignificant you think it may be, as it could prove vital to our investigation and bringing Ian’s killer to justice.
