"As a mother, I just want to finish this job and get justice - this is not about me, this is about Anthony", she said."I just think as a mum, you just want to do everything you can to protect your child."First it turned into months, then it's turned into years - and now we're at 16 years?Christine believes improved DNA testing could help solve his murder.

"From what I've seen on FBI Files, Cold Cases - which I watch a lot of - that's what normally happens."Over the years, this is what they're all going by: DNA".On her meeting with the Gardaí, she said:"They reassured me he hasn't been forgotten about."So they do have a job on their hands, and it's like due course.""It's never too late to come forward, put his family out of misery and let us get some sort of justice.

"It might be a little thing that you know over the years, and you kept it to yourself, but that could help me solve my son's case", she added.Main image: The hearse containing a coffin with Anthony Campbell's body passes down Church Street in Dublin's inner-city, near where he lived, in December 2016.
