Detective Superintendent Mark Payne, who is leading the investigation, says West Midlands Police Force is "working around the clock" to piece together the information they have about the crime.

"I want to reiterate how important it is to come forward with any information you may have. You can speak to Crimestoppers anonymously and there are robust plans to support and protect witnesses through the justice system.

West Midlands Police say the reward offered by Crimestoppers for information leading to the killer of Mohammed Saleem Chaudry is "key" to helping their investigation.

Detective Superintendent Mark Payne, who is leading the investigation, said £10,000 might encourage someone who is reluctant to come forward to change their mind.

"Our appeal is simple - someone out there knows who is on that CCTV image, they recognise their movement or their clothing. Maybe there are concerns about someone's behaviour since the murder? Now is the time to act."
