A reward of up to 20 thousand pounds is being offered up, for information on the murder of a man in Leicester.

41-year-old Raju Modhwadia, who was also known as Kara Muru, was found stabbed to death on Evington Road in the Stoneygate area on 27th December 2021.

Officers think he was involved in a fight before the knife attack and people, who saw what happened, still haven't come forward.

It's though that took place on Hamilton Street, in Leicester, near to the junction with St Albans Road.

Lydia Patsalides, Crimestoppers East Midlands Regional Manager, said:

“We urge anyone with information to speak to our charity 100% anonymously.

By coming forward, you could make a real difference in helping to get justice for Raju, whose life was so tragically cut short.

“If you know who was involved or what happened and you wish to not give your personal details, then our charity is here to help.

"Contact Crimestoppers and you’ll stay 100% anonymous. All we want to know is the information you have, not your name or any other personal details.

"We have kept our anonymity promise since we started back in the late 1980s.

“Please call our UK Contact Centre on freephone 0800 555 111, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or fill in our website’s simple and secure anonymous online form. Crime information can be given in up to 140 different languages, including Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati and Somali.

“No amount of information is too small to tell us - were you at home on Boxing Day evening on Sunday 26 December 2021, close to where Raju was found? Did you hear or see anything suspicious? It is not too late to tell us what you know, and you could be eligible for a reward.”
