Can you help solve a 30 year old murder in Mirfield?
Police have re-opened the murder case of William Smith who was violently attacked 30 years ago today.
He'd been choked to death and found on the embankment that borders the rear of the Mirfield Memorial Park and the Calder Hebble Canal.
Quote Message: Bill Smith was murdered in a particularly brutal fashion exactly 30 years ago now and we believe the answer to his murder remains in local community. Someone will know who attacked Mr Smith on Saturday October 25, 1986 and I can only presume having that knowledge and not sharing it must weigh increasingly heavily on them as the years pass. from Detective Inspector Paul Smith West Yorkshire Police

The authority previously released plans to raise around £14m by selling land over the next three years.
But the Conservative councillor says it must choose carefully which sites it sells.
