The family of a jeweller found shot in his bathtub in an unsolved murder 35 years ago hope to finally get justice after detectives reopened the investigation following advances in forensic science. <\/p>\n
Gold dealer Richard Haywood, commonly known as Ricky, was shot multiple times in an attack at his home above his shop Ambiance Jewellers in Shirley Road, Southampton<\/a>, on 16 October 1989.<\/p>\n Despite police interviewing more than 11,000 people, no-one has ever been charged with the 36-year-old\u2019s murder and Mr Haywood\u2019s heartbroken mother went to her grave never knowing who killed her son.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n But now Hampshire Constabulary<\/a> has said advancements in forensic science over the past three decades will be their \u201cmain lines of enquiry\u201d as they reopen the case<\/a>.<\/p>\n The charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of \u00a320,000 for information, that can be given anonymously, which leads to an arrest and conviction.<\/p>\n In a statement issued through police, Mr Haywood\u2019s sister said: \u201cWe cannot express enough the huge impact Ricky\u2019s death has had on us.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pain never goes away. My mum never had peace and it slowly ate away at her. She went to her grave never knowing who committed this awful crime.<\/p>\n \u201cI, as Ricky\u2019s sister, have to live with the pain of his murder and knowing how my mum suffered too.<\/p>\n \u201cWe pray this new appeal will urge someone to come forward and hopefully after all these years find justice and closure.\u201d<\/p>\n Detective Inspector Elizabeth Brunt, who is now leading the investigation, urged anyone with information about Ricky\u2019s shooting to do the right thing and come forward.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cAs we review the evidence available to us, I would like to appeal to anyone out there that may hold information about what happened to come forward and speak to us.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe someone knows why Ricky was killed and who was responsible. Whatever your allegiances, you would be doing the right thing by telling us what you know.<\/p>\n \u201cI would urge those people to think about Ricky\u2019s family, who have waited more than 35 years to find out why someone killed him.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile Ricky\u2019s mother died broken-hearted, the rest of his family are desperate to know the truth.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to give his family the answers they rightly deserve, to get justice for them and for Ricky.<\/p>\n \u201cYour help is needed and now is the time to communicate what you know, either directly, anonymously or through a third party – doing nothing is no longer an option.\u201d<\/p>\n Beth Simpson, regional manager for Crimestoppers, said: \u201cRicky\u2019s heartbroken family still don\u2019t have answers or justice. Our charity is offering a reward of up to \u00a320,000 for information given exclusively to us that leads to the arrest, charge and conviction of anybody responsible for his murder.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you have information, however small, please speak up and tell Crimestoppers 100 per cent anonymously. If you prefer not to talk to the police, you can tell us what you know, and we\u2019ll pass it on for you, it is not too late.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are independent of the police and won\u2019t ask for any personal details, there\u2019ll be no police contact or witness statements, and you won\u2019t have to go to court. Nobody will know you contacted us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \nFuente: https:\/\/ift.tt\/geIln7F For free real time breaking news alerts sent straight to your inbox sign up to our breaking news emails Sign up to our free breaking news emails The family of a jeweller found shot in his bathtub in an unsolved murder 35 years ago hope to finally get justice after detectives reopened the investigation following…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[75,76,77],"class_list":["post-3713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-news","tag-noticias","tag-viral"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3713"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3713\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3714,"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3713\/revisions\/3714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hectorkott.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
