Cops have offered a £50,000 reward in the hunt for a one-punch killer at a music festival 10 years ago.

Robert Hart was attacked in a row after his girlfriend was hit on the head with an inflatable doll.

The 26-year-old was rushed to the hospital on June 7, 2014, but died four days later.

Police were unable to find the person responsible for his death.

Robert’s mum, Elaine, also revealed she still visits his grave every week and said he should have kids of his own now.

Robert, of Macclesfield, Cheshire, had been at the Parklife Festival, in Heaton Park, Manchester.

The unidentified attacker is described as mixed race, in his mid-20s, around 6ft to 6ft 2 inches tall, of muscular build.

He had short, dark hair which was shaved at the sides.

He may have been with several people, including an unknown woman.

She is believed to be white, in her mid-20s with blonde, shoulder-length hair, around 5ft 7 inches tall and possibly wearing a pink T-shirt.

As the 10-year anniversary of Robert’s death approaches, police have offered a £50,000 reward to find the person responsible.

Detectives investigating the incident made a fresh appeal on Crimewatch, as reported on Need To Know.

Det Insp Madeline Kelly, of Greater Manchester Police, said: “Even though this terrible incident was almost 10 years ago, it will still be fresh in the minds of many people, especially Robert’s family and people who were at Parklife.

“Despite the passing of time, the heartache felt by Robert’s family has not faded.

“Just as we were in 2014, we are determined to catch the person responsible which is why we are taking a fresh look at the evidence and appealing for the assistance of the public.

“We are appealing for people to dig deep into their consciences – if you were one of the people involved on the day we would urge you to come forward.

“No one went to the festival that weekend with thoughts of violence.

“Allegiances and friendships will have changed so if anyone has any information they can report it to the police in confidence, particularly if they feel they could not before.

“We are also asking for people at Parklife on Saturday 7 June 2014 to share their photos and videos with us – especially people who were around the main stage at around 9pm just after Rudimental had finished their set and before Snoop Dogg was due on.”

Elaine said: “Robert loved music and played his guitar all the time, music was the reason he went to Parklife.

”He didn’t go to Parklife for anything other than for his love of music.

“I visit him every week in Macclesfield Cemetery.

“He shouldn’t be there, he should be here, enjoying and living his life to the full with a family of his own.”

Investigators have set up a Major Incident Public Portal – photos and videos can be uploaded.
