‘Help us find out what happened to missing Dariusz’

attacked in February 2011 – a month before he disappeared.

A spokesman said: “Following extensive enquiries both within the UK and in Poland since 2011 and a senior investigating officerled review of the case, police believe it is possible Dariusz may well have come to harm.

“A full range of missing persons enquiries were made at the time he was reported missing and extensive searches were conducted in the Birkby area. Despite these he was never located and no body was found.”

Dariusz, who had come to the UK to work and was in regular contact with his wife and daughter in Poland, was last seen at his home in Macaulay Road in Birkby on Sunday March 13, 2011, at around 2.30pm.

Det Supt Mark McManus said: “As part of our missing from home enquiry process senior investigating officers regularly review longterm missing persons cases, as we have done here.

“As a result of these reviews, further investigation and taking into account an assault Dariusz reported being the victim of in February 2011, officers determined there was a strong possibility he had been murdered.

“Following detailed enquiries three men were arrested on suspicion of murder in May 2015 in connection with his disappearance. They were questioned and eventually released without charge.”

Det Supt Mark McManus added: “Clearly some time has now passed since Dariusz’s disappearance and it is possible that someone with information about what happened to him may now feel ready to come forward.

“Dariusz was a husband and father who was working to provide for a young family who deserve to know what happened to him.

“We have kept them informed throughout our investigation.

“I firmly believe the answers to Dariusz’s disappearance remain in the Birkby area and I want to appeal to anyone who can shed light on this case to come forward now, for the sake of his wife and daughter.”

Call police via 101. A BERRY Brow man had a costly trip to court after failing to attend a drugs awareness course.

Daniel Britton, of Hangingstone Road, was arrested at his home on August 28. While he was being searched police found a small amount of cannabis inside a cigarette packet. The 26-year-old admitted possessing the class B drug for his own use.

An appointment was booked but he failed to go after his father died suddenly and was summonsed to court. Britton was ordered to pay £80 court costs and £20 victim surcharge.
