Police visit Birmingham murder scene to appeal for witnesses
Detectives investigating the stabbing murder of 75-year-old Mohammed Saleem in Birmingham were today revisiting the scene where he was attacked.
Throughout today, police will be in the Small Heath area talking to members of the public and encouraging anyone who saw anything suspicious to come forward.
Officers are stopping vehicles and passers-by asking if they were in the area a fortnight ago, and whether they have any information about the attack.
They are also handing out leaflets with details of the £10,000 Crimestoppers reward being offered for information leading to Mr Saleem's killer.
The pensioner was attacked as he walked home from the Green Lane Mosque along Little Green Lane just before 10.30pm on April 29. Officers remain focused on identifying a man captured on a CCTV camera running along Wyndcliffe Road near to where Mr Saleem was murdered.
Detective Superintendent Mark Payne, from force CID, said: "We continue to investigate every lead we have and are very grateful for the calls we've had from members of the public to help us find Mr Saleem's killer.
"There has been real support from local residents and members of the congregation of Green Lane Mosque and we appreciate the help they have given our investigation so far.
"We continue to appeal to anyone who can help us identify the man seen in the CCTV footage.
"Someone out there must know who he is and we urgently want to speak to him," he added.
Anyone who may have information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
