The huge reward offered to find man, 20, more than a year after teen's murder

A reward to find a 20-year-old man as part of a 13-month murder investigation has been doubled to £20,000. Matthew Daulby was found stabbed following a 'disturbance' in Ormskirk, Lancashire, at 12.05am on July 29 last year.

The 19-year-old was rushed from the scene, near Railway Road, to hospital - but he tragically died due to a stab wound, despite the best efforts of emergency services. Henry Houghton, 19, of Barrison Green, Scarisbrick, was jailed for life in March after being found guilty of Matthew’s murder.

But police say Matthew's family are still waiting for justice. Officers have been trying to find 20-year-old Thomas Dures over the past year as part of their investigation.

They believe he still has key information to finally bring the case to an end for Matthew's family - but insist people are helping him evade police. Now, a £10,000 reward from Crimestoppers for information leading to his arrest has been matched by the Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner’s office, meaning £20,000 is on offer.

The new reward is only available to people who pass on information to Crimestoppers. Detective Chief Inspector Andy Fallows, of Lancashire Police's Force Major Investigation Team, said: “It has now been over 12 months since Matthew’s murder and although one man has been found guilty, his family’s wait for justice goes on.

"Thomas Dures has known that my officers have wanted to speak to him for some time and while Matthew’s family continue to search for answers about what happened that night, Dures is out there about to celebrate his 21st birthday. It is high time he does the right thing and hands himself
