NSW Police established Strike Force Flat in March to investigate the assault and Guy’s subsequent death.

Mark Haymes on Tuesday joined police to call for anybody who had information about his brother’s death to come forward.

“It’s been pretty hard, just not knowing what happened that day and why someone would actually want to hurt (Guy),” he said.
