“The CCTV from Aldi is the last confirmed sighting we have of Damian and some 48 hours later he was sadly found within his flat.

"I am convinced the answers lie within the local community. I would ask anyone who knows what happened to Damian, or can help us understand what his movements were in the days and hours before his death to come forward.”
