£20,000 reward offered on 30th anniversary of 17-year-old Sabrina Brett's death

On the 30th anniversary of her tragic death, we're making an urgent appeal for information regarding the murder of 17-year-old Sabrina Brett in Milton Keynes, and offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information given directly to us that leads to an arrest and conviction.

Sabrina’s body was discovered in the Grand Union Canal at Three Locks, Stoke Hammond, by a member of the public on May 11, 1995. A postmortem examination revealed that Sabrina had died several days before her body was found and had sustained injuries to her head, face, and neck.

“It is now thirty years since the tragic death of Sabrina Brett. We know that in the months leading up to her murder, she was the subject of child sexual exploitation. On this, the anniversary of her death, I am appealing for help in identifying who was responsible for both her death and her exploitation.”

Principal Investigator Peter Beirne, Head of Thames Valley Police’s Major Crime Investigation Review Team.

“The circumstances surrounding Sabrina Brett's murder are deeply disturbing. If you have information about what happened or who was involved, however small, you can tell our charity 100% anonymously.

"No one will ever know that you did so. You won’t be contacted by the police, you won’t be asked to give a witness statement and you won’t need to attend court.

"Your information could help bring those responsible to justice."

Beth Simpson, Regional Manager for the Thames Valley area at Crimestoppers.

We urge anyone with any information, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, to come forward and help bring justice for Sabrina and her family after three decades.

Please note: information passed directly to the police will not qualify for a reward.
