Nottinghamshire Police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with any information about the incident to come forward and speak to them, or Crimestoppers.

Police said officers had attended a fight involving eight men and women at the Dominie Cross pub car park in Grove Street at about 23.25pm on Friday.

Sinnott was found a couple of hours later following another "large-scale disturbance" in the town centre.

Detective Inspector Justine Wilson, who is leading the police investigation, said: “Retford is a fantastic town with a close knit community, and I would like to appeal directly to that community to come forward. Jordan’s family deserves answers, so please come and talk to us.
