Corey Dobbe: Murder victim’s family appeal for help in finding ‘coward’ who killed him
VICTIM: Corey Dobbe
The family of murder victim Corey Dobbe have spoken of their grief, and have appealed for help in finding the “coward” who killed him.
The 23-year-old was found with fatal stab wounds in Harleston Close, east Hull, on Sunday.
Yesterday, police released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with his death.
In a statement released through Humberside Police today, Corey’s girlfriend Zoe said: “This shouldn’t have been allowed to happen. Anyone with any information, no matter how small, please don’t hesitate about contacting the police.
“Please help us to find the coward who killed the love of my life.
“He was always there for me, he was so kind, generous and genuine. He was the best type of person.”
Corey’s brother, Anthony, said, “Please help us to find who has done this to my big brother.
“He was everything to me and someone has taken him from us. He was the kindest person I know and he was always there for me. He was my rock and my idol.
“Somebody knows where his killer is. Please help us to find him.”
