Reward offered for information about Northampton murder of 16-year-old

As a charity, independent of the police, we at Crimestoppers are offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information given directly to us that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of 16-year-old Khadeem Parris in Northampton.

Khadeem Parris

Four weeks on from the tragic death of teenager Khadeem Parris, the independent charity Crimestoppers is urging anyone with information about his murder to come forward anonymously.

Khadeem, aged 16, died following an incident at an address in Adnitt Road, Abingdon on the evening of Tuesday 7 July. Despite the efforts of members of the public and emergency services, he sadly died at the scene.

His death has left his family grieving the loss of a much-loved son, relative and friend, while also sending shockwaves through the wider Northampton community.

With just over a month having passed since Khadeem’s death, Crimestoppers believes there may still be people with vital information who have not yet spoken out.

While a 21-year-old man has been charged with murder, there may be people who know about what happened that evening, or who have information about those involved before, during or after the incident, but who have not yet felt able to come forward.

The charity is appealing directly to anyone who saw what happened or has since heard conversations about those involved.

Lydia Patsalides, East Midlands Regional Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “A month has now passed since Khadeem tragically lost his life, but for those who loved him the pain and heartbreak remain.

“Someone may know information that could help provide answers about what happened that evening. That information, however small it may seem, could be important.

“We understand that some people may feel nervous or worried about speaking up. That’s why Crimestoppers exists. We are completely independent of the police, and anyone who contacts us remains anonymous. We do not ask for names or personal details, and we cannot trace who gets in touch,”
