Fresh focus in justice for Julie
Julie Ward's father is to dedicate himself to finding her killers
The father of a woman murdered while on holiday in Kenya 16 years ago has sold his hotel chain and will concentrate on finding his daughter's killers.

Julie Ward, 28, who lived near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, died while travelling in the Masai Mara game reserve in 1988.

Her father John, 70, has now sold the Butterfly Hotel chain he owned for 15 years in order to focus on his search.

He said he felt it was time to retire from the business and would continue his campaign to find Julie's killers.

"As time goes by the hotel business becomes quite demanding, taking seven days a week and there comes a time when you realise that the body isn't up to it and it's time to think about retiring," he said.
