£20,000 reward offered for information that leads to conviction of Prescot man's killer
29-year-old Adam Ellison was killed six years ago tomorrow
A £20,000 reward is being offered by Crimestoppers for information they receive that leads to the conviction of a Prescot man's killer.
It was six years ago tomorrow (4 November 2017) when 29-year-old Adam Ellison was killed after being stabbed in the neck in Market Place.
It followed an altercation in the early hours of the morning with two men who were onboard a scrambler bike.
Adam was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after 2am.
Arrests have been made since, but no-one has ever been charged.
Detective Inspector Dave Jones said:
"I can’t begin to comprehend what Adam’s family have been through in the past six years. The special occasions and anniversaries that have gone by without him being there and with his family knowing that his killer still walks the street must be unbearable.
"We know over the years that people have come forward with intelligence that has assisted us with a number of lines of enquiry but we need people to come forward with evidence. We know that the answers lie within our communities and that people have chosen to stay quiet.
"Please search your conscience"
"To those people I would say please search your conscience. Tell us what you know and let us do the rest. Adam’s family don’t deserve to be left in limbo without ever getting any justice. If you don’t want to speak to the police then please get in touch with Crimestoppers and give your information totally anonymously."
Gary Murray, North West Regional Manager at Crimestoppers, said:
"Family and friends of Adam have made it clear they are desperate for justice and that the wait just makes the pain and suffering so much worse. That is why, on the anniversary of Adam’s murder, our charity is offering this reward.
"You will stay completely anonymous"
"Crimestoppers knows how hard it is for people to speak up when they know something about crime – especially if it’s about serious crime. Every day, our charity helps people overcome barriers that might otherwise keep them silent. We are not the police and you will stay completely anonymous. If there is something you know, have seen or heard about Adam’s murder, you could make a huge difference by passing it on to our charity."
Anyone with information can DM @MerPolCC or call 101.
