Police have made a new appeal for help in tracing a missing killer.

Ryan Gilling, from Hutton Henry, on the edge of Hartlepool, was locked up for six years and nine months after he was convicted of killing Tony Stokoe in a horror smash in Shotton Colliery in 2016.

He was later jailed for a further three years after he admitted supplying class A cocaine.
