Give information anonymously

“This was a shocking and senseless crime that tore a family apart. Jessy was a much-loved man who did not deserve to lose his life in such a horrific way.

“Someone out there knows who was involved and what happened that day. We understand that some people may feel frightened, worried, or simply unwilling to speak directly to police. That’s exactly why Crimestoppers exists.

“You can tell our charity what you know without ever revealing who you are. We’ve kept our promise of anonymity for over 37 years. We don’t record calls, we don’t trace IP addresses, we don’t use caller ID, and we never ask for personal details. You will never be asked to speak to police or go to court. There is no comeback.

“Even if you want to claim a reward, your anonymity is completely protected from start to finish. If you have information - no matter how small it may seem - it could be the key to finally bringing Jessy’s loved ones the answers they desperately need.”

Annabelle Goodenough, Crimestoppers South East Regional Manager
