£20k reward for information over unsolved 1994 murder in Woking
In 1994 33 year old Karen Reed was shot five times at close range in the hallway of her home
The charity Crimestoppers is offering a £20,000 reward in return for vital information about those responsible for a 30 year old unsolved murder in Woking.
In 1994 33 year old Karen Reed was shot five times at close range in the hallway of her home along Willow Way on The Barnaby Estate in Woking.
She answered her front door to a man appearing to be a delivery driver who was holding a blue and white pizza box, at around 9.15pm on Saturday 30 April.
Ms Reed told him that she hadn’t ordered anything. He then asked what address the house was. When she replied, he opened fire.
An ambulance was called by a friend also at the property, but sadly Karen died at the scene.
It's believed that this murder was carried out by a professional contract killer and that Karen was the innocent victim of mistaken identity.
The gunman was described as being tall with dark hair and wearing glasses.
Mick Duthie is the Director of Operations at Crimestoppers:
