Glasgow murder: Tony Ferns' mother's pleas prompt £10,000 reward
We are supporting the pleas of a mother who, one year on, has appealed for those with information about her son’s killer to come forward.
Crimestoppers Scotland is now offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Anthony Ferns’ murder.
Tony, as he was known, was attacked by a man on Crebar Street, Thornliebank, Glasgow, at around 10pm on Thursday 18 April 2019.
The 33-year-old was violently assaulted inside his Audi A3 car.
Whilst he was able to make it to his home nearby immediately after the attack, paramedics were unable to save his life. Sadly, he died in front of his mother, Phyllis. Last week, on the anniversary of Tony’s death, Phyllis appealed to members of the public for help.
The suspect at the time of the initial appeal was described as aged between 20 and 30 and around 5ft 8ins to 6ft tall.
***Our charity is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for anonymous information we exclusively receive - via this website or by phone on 0800 555 111 - that leads to the conviction of those responsible for Anthony Ferns’ murder***
If you know what happened to Tony, you can speak to us anonymously by calling our UK Contact Centre which is open 24/7 on freephone 0800 555 111, or you can use our easy and secure Anonymous Online Form.
No matter how insignificant you think the information you have may be, please contact us. We don’t judge. Just take your information and once you’ve hung up or clicked send, you’re done. No one will ever know and you may also be eligible for a reward.
**Note: Information passed directly to police will not qualify. The reward will only qualify for information given exclusively to our charity's freephone 0800 555 111 number or via the simple and secure Anonymous Online Form***

“Tony died in front of his mother after an attack that has shocked the community. No-one should ever have to go through that. He was a much-loved son and partner. We know that for some people it can be incredibly difficult to speak up about crime, even if you, like us, believe we should all be able to live a safe life.
“Every day over a thousand people trust our charity with their information. It may be that you’ve been unable or unwilling until now to speak to the police directly, in which case, our charity can help. Information we receive anonymously – which we then pass on to investigators - helps solve murders and rapes, protects children and vulnerable adults, and supports families who are seeking justice."
