Detectives hope new forensic evidence could find the killer in the "brutal unsolved murder" of a taxi driver in Oxfordshire three decades on.

Lennie Gomm, 75, was stabbed directly through his heart in Hampton Gay Lane, near Bletchingdon, after he had picked up a fare on 13 June 1990.

The motive for his killing remains unclear and the case's prime suspect, the passenger, remains undetected.

Officers said the new evidence could "link a suspect to the scene".
Peter Beirne, head of Thames Valley Police's major crime investigation review team, said "advancements in forensic science" had allowed fresh evidence to be gathered from Mr Gomm's taxi and clothing.

He appealed for members of the public with "information or suspicions" about the attack to contact officers, who he said would be able to track down and investigate new suspects in the cold case.
"You might know someone who acts strangely when Lennie's murder is mentioned... or perhaps you know someone who has an obsession with the case," Mr Beirne said.

Detectives hope that over the past three decades the killer has "confided in somebody" who may now be able to come forward.

Let's hope he has, and let's hope that person comes forward.

30 years is a long time for his family and friends.
