Christine Willans said she cannot rest until she knows the identity of the person who murdered Len Farrar in his Cardinal Road home on May 4, 2002.

The 64-year-old, who still lives in Beeston, said time was running out for her and Len's older brother Ken, who is 80, to see justice carried out.

She spoke to YEP on the eve of the sixth anniversary of Len's death.
Christine said: "We're no nearer a conviction than when we were the day after Len was murdered.

"Neither myself nor Ken are getting any younger and it is a worry we'll
never see anyone brought to justice. We are in a state of limbo and haven't been able to grieve. There's just a strangeness, an emptiness and we can't move on."

The body of the 71-year-old former merchant seaman and coach driver was found at his semi-detatched home in Cardinal Road on May 4, 2002.
Two police officers found his corpse after they called to tell him his lilac

Fiat Panda car had been found burned out on nearby wasteland.
Despite an extensive investigation by Holbeck CID involving scores of detectives and hundreds of man hours and thousands of inquiries no-one
was ever charged.

Gary Bradley, the so-called 'Beast of Beeston', was jailed for life in
2003 for the fatal stabbing of Leeds solicitor Chris Scholey, 53, in Cross Flatts Park and given 10 years for attacks on three other elderly gentlemen in Beeston.

After his arrest Bradley, then 36, was questioned about Len's death which happened just before the other victims were attacked. He denied involvement.

After his conviction a senior detective named him as a prime suspect.
But in 2005 the YEP revealed Bradley refused to talk to detectives when they visited him in prison.

Since then Len's family have been left without a conviction and having to believe that the murderer could still be out in the community.

In 2006 police from the newly formed Homicide and Major Enquiry Team (HMET) reviewed the entire investigation.

Det Supt Paul Taylor said he believed advances in forensic technology would allow detectives to catch up with the person responsible for the murder and "bring some justice to his family".

The last contact the family say they had with police was last May when a family liaison officer said no further action could be taken.
