Reward to catch killer of Bristol teenager on six-month anniversary

We have stepped in to support the investigation into the brutal murder of ‘deeply loved’ Eddie Kinuthia on the six-month anniversary.

The 19-year-old was stabbed multiple times at around 11pm on Friday, 21 July 2023 during an attack on Grosvenor Road in Bristol. He died a short time later whilst in hospital from his injuries. 
 
Investigators believe at least two people were involved. A number of people have been arrested but no one has as yet been charged.

Give information anonymously.

Our charity which is independent of the police – is supporting the investigation by offering up to £20,000 for anonymous information we exclusively receive that leads to the conviction of those responsible for the murder of Eddie Kinuthia. 

“Our deepest sympathy for all of Eddie’s family and friends. It would have been his 20th birthday on 22 January. It’s clear how popular Eddie was to those who knew and loved him. They can do with our support at this time, six months after his tragic murder. 
 
“We know that there were people present at the time of this appalling attack who have not yet come forward. Speaking up about crime can be scary so our charity understands why there can be a reluctance to come forward. With Crimestoppers, you can make a difference by passing on what you know whilst being protected by our guarantee of anonymity. That means no police, no courts, no witness statements. Put simply, when you contact our charity online or on the phone, there’s no comeback. 

“Please speak up anonymously by either calling our UK Contact Centre on 0800 555 111, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or use our website’s secure anonymous online form. 

“We cannot trace your call or track your IP address. No one will ever know you contacted us. Even if you think your information is insignificant, it could make all the difference.” 
 
Karen MacDonald, Crimestoppers West Country Regional Manager 

Anonymity:
Crimestoppers guarantees complete anonymity, meaning that people who call or contact us online can pass on what they know without ever giving any personal details. Computer IP addresses are never traced. Telephone calls are never recorded, there is no caller line display and no 1471 facility. 

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 our charity on 0800 555 111. If you contact Crimestoppers via our 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 us two months later with the reward code to see if there has been a positive result. 

More details about the rewards process – at the heart of which is ensuring you stay 100% anonymous - can be found here. This reward is available until 30 August 2024 as rewards offered for specific cases normally expire after three months.
