We are issuing a further tribute on behalf of the family of Ellis Cox, following his tragic murder in Aintree on Sunday 23 June:
“Ellis was the best little brother to Ethan. Wise beyond his years. He adored his two nieces and in turn they loved their kind, gentle and funny uncle. They have been robbed of their amazing uncle at just 19 years old: he had so much more living to do.
“Ellis dreamt of travelling. He had big dreams and wasn't afraid to vocalise them, and he was determined to build an amazing life for himself. Hard working, down the earth and so kind to everyone he met and would help anyone. His kind heart and beautiful soul is missed beyond any comprehension and our lives will never be the same again.
“We need your help and will continue to appeal for anyone with any information to come forward. The smallest piece of information could lead to bringing those responsible to justice because now this is all we can do for our Ellis. We are so grateful to the police and know as well as taking care of us they are working so hard to find those responsible.”
