Police keen to solve the murder of a diabetic businessman are making a renewed push to trace his killers.
John Luper, 57, was attacked by four or five masked men as he returned from a midnight walk with his dog in the Alwoodley suburb of Leeds in 2004 and dragged back inside his family home.
His wife and daughter were tied up with masking tape while the gang stole jewellery - including a platinum and diamond watch, clothes and cash, totalling £100,000.
The inquest into his death heard the robbers became concerned about his health during the raid and fed him marmalade; possibly in an attempt to boost his sugar levels.
When his family freed themselves they found him unconscious on the kitchen floor and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem examination revealed he died from asphyxia.
The stolen Cartier watch was one of only four sold in the UK at that time and police have asked anyone who may have been offered such an item to get in touch.
Detective Superintendent Simon Atkinson said he remained committed to bringing Mr Luper's killers to justice.
"The fact that 11 years have passed since John Luper's death has not lessened how determined we still are to get justice for his family," he said.
"The scientific techniques available to us are developing all the time and we remain hopeful that they will yet provide us with the evidence we need.
"We are convinced that there are people out there who have the information we need to know about who was responsible.
"It is likely that those answers lie within the criminal fraternity who will have been aware of the murder at the time and will have discussed it over the years.
"Allegiances often change over the years and it may be that people are in a better position now to come forward and tell us what they know."
