‘Make TV appeal for Adam O'Toole killer’

Nov 13 2008 by Barry Gibson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

THOUSANDS of people are calling for the hunt for a hit-and-run driver to be featured on TV.

Friends of 18-year-old Adam O’Toole, who was killed in Salendine Nook last year, have collected 2,000 signatures for a petition demanding his case appears on BBC’s Crimewatch.

Adam’s friend Robert McGuin started the petition in January.

He said: “I felt I had to do something. It’s been 19 months since Adam died and there hasn’t been any new evidence since then. The case has come to a standstill.”

Adam, who was studying for a BTec diploma in sports studies, was knocked down at New Hey Road at 10.30am on March 6 last year.

He lived with his mother Beverley at Woodhead Road, Holmbridge.
