Video: Vinny Derrick widow: 'eight years no easier to bear' The remains of Vinny Derrick, 29, from Partington, Greater Manchester, were found near junction three of the M60 on Wednesday. He was last seen on a night out in the Manchester city centre with colleagues in August 2003. Mrs Derrick, speaking at a press conference, said: "As a family we have lived through every minute of the last eight years. Our worst fears have now been confirmed and eight years on it isn't any easier to bear. We are devastated. The not knowing and speculation can now end and Vinny can now be laid to rest and we can say goodbye properly. Vinny was loved by so many people and I have so many memories that I will treasure forever. I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and would ask that myself and my family are left to grieve for Vinny in private. Police have not yet confrimed if Mr Derrick died in suspicious circumstances and are continuing to investigate the scene.
