THE family of George Holloway have issued a plea for information to help piece together his last movements.

They have been scouring CCTV footage and are keen to speak to anyone who may have seen him on the evening of Saturday, October 21.

He had been at The Lord John pub with friends before being spotted at the Merrywalks multi-storey car park, not long before being found with serious injuries.

Despite receiving medical attention, George died at the scene and his family are trying to determine what happened that night.

George’s sister Nicola said: “We really want to hear from anyone who was in the area of the car park between 9.30pm and 10.20pm.

“George was there for quite a while and we know that there were a lot of people there too.

“We have spoken to some people who were there at the time but we know there were many more.

“Someone must know something about what happened that night and we really want to hear every bit of detail - even if it may seem small or insignificant.”

George was given a lift into Stroud by his mother Rachel from their home in Painswick that evening after a day at work and seemed in good spirits. “George was his usual cheery self and was excited about going out,” said Nicola.

He met friends at The Lord John before leaving about 9.30pm.

It was at 10.20pm that George was found with serious injuries in Rowcroft Retreat by the multi-storey car park and sadly died at the scene.

Police have his phone but haven’t been able to unlock it yet.

In the meantime, his family have obtained CCTV footage from Halfords which shows George in and around the car park.

“The footage shows George talking to a man for about 10 minutes,” said Nicola.

“I have spoken to the guy and he said George was fine and didn’t even seem drunk.

“The guy said he first saw George on level 2 or 3 and he thought he came up the steps, so he would have entered by Domino’s Pizza.

“They said alright to each other.

“A bit later the guy is seen down by Halfords on a skateboard.

“Then George walks down the little steps in front of Halfords, puts his hand up and says to him ‘keep at it mate’.

“They then talk for up to 10 minutes off camera.

“Plenty of people are on that CCTV.”

George’s family say there were no signs that he was unhappy.

“He had the usual teenage grievances but wasn’t depressed,” said Nicola.

“He had so many plans and was his normal self, there was no change in him at all.

"When mum took him into town that night he asked her to get his work clothes ready for his next shift.

"A new coat he had ordered arrived on the Monday. He had bought a new car and was having lessons with mum, had a holiday planned for December, loved his job and was about to be taken on full time.”
