£10,000 reward to solve unexplained Leicestershire murder

Victim died seven months after being stabbed

We are offering a reward of up to £10,000 for anonymous information that leads to those behind an unexplained murder in Leicestershire being arrested and charged.

Raheem Samuel, aged 21, arrived at Leicester Royal Infirmary Hospital to get treatment for two back stab wounds in the early hours of Saturday 6 April last year. Mr Samuel would not say how his injuries were caused. However, he did state that it happened “in town”, which is believed to be Leicester city centre.


He was discharged from hospital the next day, but re-admitted seven months later on Wednesday 6 November after suffering a cardiac arrest. He sadly died three days later. A post-mortem examination showed that his death was caused by one of his stab wounds and a murder investigation was launched.

***We are offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information we exclusively receive – either online or by calling freephone 0800 555 111 - that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the murder of Raheem Samuel ***


“In the same month as the one-year anniversary of Raheem’s death, we hope our reward and appeal will help to bring about justice for his family. Our charity believes in safe streets and safe communities and we do not want those responsible for this murder to harm anybody else.
 
“Our charity knows it can be hard to give information about somebody you know and we also understand that some people do not like speaking to the police. You can pass information to us 100% anonymously.

“We are appealing to anybody with any information, to do the right thing and to tell our charity what you know. What you tell us can make all the difference and no information is too insignificant. Speak to us 100% anonymously by calling our UK Contact Centre which is open 24/7 on freephone number 0800 555 111 or you can use our simple and secure anonymous online form.
 
“Crimestoppers has been taking crime information since our charity was formed over 32 years ago. Every day over a thousand people contact us online and over the phone. We have always kept our promise of anonymity to the millions of people who have trusted us. Nobody will ever know you contacted us and you may be eligible for a reward.”
