The force has now released CCTV footage of the attack which happened on 13 December 2015, when Tristan was 15-years-old, following his death, hoping people in the community will come forward in the murder investigation."We are talking about my child that has been taken."Det Ch Insp Greg McGill, who is leading the investigation, said: "Tristan was killed that day in 2015 - it was only through the work of the medical teams that he survived for so long.
