South Yorkshire: Appeal & reward offered over Sheffield murder of much-loved chef

Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information about the murder of Carlo Giannini, who was stabbed to death in a Sheffield park in May this year.

Carlo was a pizza chef who was originally from Italy and had moved to Sheffield. He was found dead in Manor Fields Park at around 5am on Thursday 12 May. A post-mortem concluded that Carlo had died of a stab wound.
New CCTV evidence suggests he walked into the park around 1.18am, although what happened afterwards continues to be a mystery.

South Yorkshire Police has told our charity that, following arrests, an 18-year-old man remains on bail and a 17-year-old boy faces no further action.

***To support the investigation and encourage people who need to stay anonymous, Crimestoppers – which is independent of the police - is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information the charity exclusively receives that leads to the conviction of those responsible***

“Our thoughts are very much with Carlo’s family and friends both here in the UK and in Italy, and with the wider community in Sheffield that have been affected by this tragedy.

“Our charity exists to help make all our communities safer by offering people a way to speak up about crime completely anonymously. You can talk to us with no comeback. That means we never ask for or store any of your personal details.

“We believe that associates or friends of those involved may have talked to them about what happened. Maybe you know something and it’s been playing on your mind. Even if you think it’s insignificant, what you know could make a positive difference. With Crimestoppers, you can stay anonymous whilst helping to secure justice for Carlo’s loved ones and ensuring those responsible are unable to cause any more harm.

“Please call our UK Contact Centre on freephone 0800 555 111, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week or use our website’s simple and secure anonymous online form. We cannot trace your call or track your IP address and we never ask for or record any personal information. No one will ever know you contacted us.”
Gemma Gibbs, Regional Manager for Yorkshire and Humberside for charity Crimestoppers

Claiming a reward:

Whilst the overwhelming majority of people who contact Crimestoppers do so without asking for a reward, the £20,000 offer is available to encourage someone with vital information to come forward, anonymously.

The reward will only be payable for information passed directly to Crimestoppers and not to the police. A reward code must be asked for when calling the charity on 0800 555 111. If you contact Crimestoppers via the anonymous online form, the 'keeping in contact’ facility must be used and a reward code must be requested. You must log back in 24 hours later to get the code. You will be asked to check with Crimestoppers two months later with the reward code to see if there has been a positive result.
