Eddie Kinuthia: £20k reward offered for information about teenager's murder

Eddie King Muthemba Kinuthia died in hospital after suffering multiple stab wounds

A £20,000 reward is being offered for information about the murder of a "deeply loved" teenager.

Eddie King Muthemba Kinuthia was fatally stabbed in the St Pauls area of Bristol on 21 July 2023.

Crimestoppers has offered the reward for anonymous information that leads to the conviction of those responsible for the 19-year-old's death.

Police have made six arrests in connection with the investigation but no one has been charged.

Mr Kinuthia was repeatedly stabbed on Grosvenor Road at about 23:00 BST and died in hospital.

Crimestoppers' reward comes on the six-month anniversary of the teenager's death and three days before Mr Kinuthia would have turned 20 on 22 January.

The charity's regional manager, Karen MacDonald, said: "We know that there were people present at the time of this appalling attack who have not yet come forward.

"It's clear how popular Eddie was to those who knew and loved him. They can do with our support at this time, six months after his tragic murder."

Irene Muthemba has appealed for information about her son's death

Ms MacDonald added: "Speaking up about crime can be scary so our charity understands why there can be a reluctance to come forward.

"With Crimestoppers, you can make a difference by passing on what you know whilst being protected by our guarantee of anonymity."

In August, Mr Kinuthia's mum, Irene Muthemba, made an appeal for her son's "cowardly" killers to have "the courage to do the right thing" and give themselves up.

"I am appealing to your conscience because someone out there must know something," she said at the time.

Anyone with information can contact Crimestoppers via its website or by calling 0800 555 111.
