The mother of a murdered postman has said a recent BBC drama has given her renewed hope that her son's killers will be brought to justice. Paul Savage, 30, was fatally attacked on a street in Mold, Flintshire, on February 4, 2003, while delivering post.
He was found unconscious in the driveway of a house on Clayton Road, having been repeatedly struck on the head with a cosh, crushing the base of his skull. Despite being rushed to Wrexham Maelor Hospital, he died from his injuries. No witnesses have come forward, and the assailant fled the scene.
Nearly 19 years on, the investigation remains open. North Wales Police initially suspected a gangland attack, with two hooded males seen nearby. A £100,000 reward was offered, around 4,000 statements were taken, and a reconstruction aired on BBC's Crimewatch, but the killer or killers have not been caught.
Paul's mother, June White, now 71, has tirelessly campaigned for justice. She told North Wales Live that watching the BBC series Four Lives, which depicts the capture of serial killer Stephen Port, gave her hope. 'I saw the Four Lives series about that case and thought: that's good, those mothers got justice,' she said. 'I've been up every avenue but I won't give up. It's my dream to see them in court.'
June has faced her own health battles, including bowel cancer and a kidney removal, but remains determined. North Wales Police urge anyone with information to contact them on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
