£10k reward a year after Anthony Ferns murder
Last updated 30th Apr 2020
A £10,000 reward is being offered by Crimestoppers for information a year after the murder of a man in Thornliebank in Glasgow.
Anthony Ferns was attacked while he was in his Audio A3 on Crebar Street at around 10pm on the 18th of April last year.
The 33 year old was able to make it to his home nearby but paramedics were unable to save his life and he died in front of his mother, Phyllis.
The suspect at the time of the initial appeal was described as aged between 20 and 30 and around 5ft 8ins to 6ft tall.
Angela Parker, Scotland National Manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “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.
“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 at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
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.”
