Shooting inquest delivers verdict
Andrea Draycott
Mrs Draycott's husband was shot dead
A Nottinghamshire widow says an inquest into her husband's death has reopened her family's wounds.

The inquest into David Draycott's death concluded on Thursday and found he was unlawfully killed.

Mr Draycott was shot in his car outside his home in Sutton in Ashfield two years ago, but his killer has not been caught.

His widow Andrea says she and her two children have struggled to cope with Mr Draycott's death.

She said: "They've been pretty brave but it's been hard for them.

"He was a really good dad... we all miss him very much.

"I'd give everything for him just to walk through that door again, but it's not going to happen."
