The mother of murdered Tom Kirwan has made a desperate appeal for answers over her son’s tragic death.

On the day of his 29th birthday, Mr Kirwan’s mother Emer is pleading for those with information to do ‘the right thing’ as the reward money is increased to £20,000.

Mr Kirwan was 23 when he was stabbed to death outside the now-closed Uberra Club in Wolverhampton after disorder broke out between groups of revellers.

He was taken to hospital where he later died.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday, Emer said: “Tom would have been 29 today, married with children celebrating his birthday.

“Six years ago after a night out my son was stabbed, twice in the back and once through his heart.

“It was a brutal and mindless attack, which has taken a kind beautiful and loving son away from me. Someone knows who murdered my son that morning.

“Why are you letting his killer get away with this? Life is such a precious gift and it shouldn’t be taken in this way.
