Reward of £5K offered in police hunt for suspect Mohammed Ali Ege in decade old murder case

A reward of £5,000 is being offered to anyone who has information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect in a murder case, which is more than a decade old.

Mohammed Ali Ege, now 44, fled to India before he could be arrested over the death of 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi, who was stabbed at his family home in a mistaken identity attack in 2010.

Aamir was killed in the Roath area of Cardiff on April 11. In 2013, two other men - Jason Richards and Ben Hope - were jailed for life over his murder.

Ege was arrested in India in 2013, but escaped from custody in 2017 while awaiting extradition.

South Wales Police described Ege as Wales' most wanted man and said his current whereabouts remain unknown.

Crimestoppers is offering the reward for any information provided exclusively to the charity that leads to Ege's arrest and safe return to the UK, if detained abroad.

Hayley Fry, Crimestoppers' national manager for Wales, said: "We are appealing to anyone with information about Mohammed Ali Ege to come forward and speak to our charity 100% anonymously as soon as possible.

"We would like to help bring an end to this very long ordeal for Aamir's family.

"It is important to be clear that to assist anybody wanted for questioning over a crime can lead to prosecution.

"Our charity is here for people who feel unable to speak to police directly. We are independent from the police and offer an alternative option when reporting crime.

"There are people out there who must know where Mohammed Ali Ege is. We urge anybody with information to do the right thing and contact us."
