Crimestoppers is offering this reward of up to £3,000 for information passed on directly to the charity anonymously that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person's responsible for this offence.

Crimestoppers Regional Manager for the Eastern Region, Ann Scott, said: "Thomas was an extremely talented young man and he has cruelly had his life taken away from him before he was able to fulfil his potential?.

"We are offering this reward of up to £3,000 to anyone who tells us what they know anonymously on 0800 555 111 with information that leads to an arrest and conviction.

"Those responsible for this heinous crime should not be allowed to get away with their actions, and for this reason I would urge anyone with information, no matter how small, to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.

"We never ask for your name or take any personal details, we don't trace or record calls, and those giving information do not have to give a statement to Police or go to court. In the 25 years that we have been running we have never revealed anyone's identity."

To be eligible for the reward, information must be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Information can be given via a secure online form found on www.crimestoppers-uk.org but will not be eligible for a reward.
