THE family of Tony Alliss say they are still 'searching for the truth' nearly 25 years since his tragic shooting in King's Stanley.

Mr Alliss was shot dead at the age of 40 following a boundary dispute over land with neighbours, and Tony's son, Leigh, who was 14 at the time, was also shot in the arm during the incident on July 26, 1990.

Two men were accused of murdering Tony Alliss but both were acquitted when the judge ruled there was insufficient evidence.

Leigh Alliss, who will be 40 in September, says the family are still seeking justice.
