'No human being should have to go through what we've been through'

For Tony Williamson, a round of golf was one of life's great pleasures. A fit, healthy and active 62 year-old, he loved nothing more than letting off steam over 18 holes with his pals.

But one Friday afternoon, Tony, came home early from a game. He told his wife Jackie he felt 'off-colour.' These were the first signs of a condition that would leave the cherished dad-of-two and grandad in 'unbearable' daily pain.

It was also the start of a traumatic and devastating series of events which would see Tony lose his life. Just a year later he would vanish from the family home in Timperley sparking a huge and well-publicised search operation.

For three months his family were left in a 'living nightmare' – on tenterhooks every single day waiting for news. In March last year, his body was discovered in a stretch of the River Mersey in Warrington.
