WOOTTON: £10k reward for information on Ding family's killer

The Ding family

A reward of up to £10,000 has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the murder of the Ding family.
Jeff - known as Jifeng - Ding, 46, Helen Chui, 47, and their two daughters Xing, 18, and Alice, 12, were found stabbed to death in their home in Pioneer Close, Sampson Manor, Wootton on May 1.
It is believed they were killed on April 29 - the day of the Royal Wedding.
Northamptonshire Police launched a quadruple murder investigation and have been searching for prime suspect Anxiang Du for over two weeks.
Now Crimestoppers - which is set to feature the murder in its programme next Tuesday - has offered a £10k reward for information relating to the murders.
The crimefighting charity has put the reward for crucial information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murders.
Dave Cording, Crimestoppers’ deputy chief executive said: "This is a heinous crime, four members of a family were murdered at their home.
"A reward of up to £10,000 is being offered to anyone who can supply us with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this crime.
"Our thoughts are with friends and those close with the Ding family after this horrific incident. We want to help catch those responsible and we hope that by funding this reward we will play a part in securing more information to support the police investigation.
"I hope the offender will be swiftly brought to justice and would urge anyone with information to contact the charity, Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or our online giving information form. No personal details are taken and communication routes are not traced or recorded – no one will know who you are."
Detective Superintendent Glyn Timmins, leading the murder investigation, welcomed the news.
He said: "We welcome the support of Crimestoppers and are very grateful that they have offered this sum of money.
"People are motivated by different things and we hope that a financial incentive will encourage someone to tell us when Mr Du is hiding."
Police added that the investigation remains ongoing and said that a man resembling Mr Du had been spotted  on CCTV in Venebles Street, off the Edgeware road in London – which is where the a silver Vauxhall Corsa, believed to have been used as a getaway car, was found.
The footage captured an image of a man in a brown coat, carrying a bag with a white cap at 2.27 am on Saturday, April 30, matching that of the outfit known to be worn by Mr Du the previous day. 
This sighting is about four hours after a confirmed sighting of the car at a service station in Northampton. 
DS Timmins added: "Our objective is to gather sufficient evidence to convict and therefore we also call to people of Wootton and surrounding areas to come forward if they think they saw Mr Du en-route to, or in Wootton village, including those who got on the number 15 bus from Greyfriars to Wootton at 1.30pm on Friday, April 29. 
"Any information, however small ,could be of great help as we build the picture of what happened that afternoon."
