Civil case into death of man stabbed in Stourbridge nightclub is pushed back
A civil case into the death of Ryan Passey has been pushed back until next month.
At a hearing at Liverpool County Court Mr Passey's family were told the case will now be heard on November 8 at the same court to give the judge more time to make a decision.
They are hoping for a ruling of unlawful killing and a damages claim is also being considered.
Mr Passey, 24, from Quarry Bank, was stabbed to death in a Stourbridge nightclub in August 2017.
Kobe Murray admitted stabbing him but was cleared by a jury of both murder and manslaughter in February the following year.
Mr Passey's family have been campaigning for justice ever since.
Last week the family said they had lost "all trust and confidence" in West Midlands Police after the force was accused of reneging on a pledge to announce a review into his case.
Stourbridge MP Suzanne Webb said the force was “piling injustice on injustice” on Mr Passey's loved ones by failing to keep their promise about the review.
Family friend Jason Connon said: "This is a long-running saga and it has got to the point now where we have lost all trust and confidence in West Midlands Police and the investigation that was carried out."
Mr Connon said the family had requested an independent review into the case by another police force.
