Appeal continues to find the killer of Adam Ellison, seven years after his death
2 days ago
Adam Ellison was killed on 4th November 2017 following an altercation with two males on a scrambler bike.
Merseyside Police are today, Monday 4 November, urging people to do the right thing and speak up on the seventh anniversary of the murder of Adam Ellison in Prescot.
Adam, 29, was assaulted in Market Place in the early hours of 4th November 2017 after becoming involved in an altercation with two males onboard a scrambler bike.
During the incident Adam was stabbed in the neck with an unknown weapon causing him to fall to the ground. He was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after 2am.
Numerous lines of enquiry have been carried out as part of an ongoing investigation and arrests have been made but, to date, nobody has been charged.
Today is the seventh anniversary of his death and Merseyside Police are supporting Adam’s family in urging people to break their silence and help them to bring his killer to justice.
The charity Crimestoppers – which is independent of the police and guarantees anonymity – continues to offer a reward of up to ÂŁ20,000 for information they exclusively receive that leads to a murder conviction.
Detective Chief Inspector Cath Cummings said:
“It is heartbreaking that Adam’s finally have not had the justice they deserve.
“Seven years on from his death the pain of losing them is no less for his mum, dad and sisters and we continue to do whatever we can to support them, review the evidence and follow up any new lines of enquiry.
“We know, as is often the case, that the key to cracking this lies within our local communities. There are people out there who, for whatever reason, have chosen not to come forward and tell us what they know.
“It is to those people that I make this appeal – please search your conscience and put yourself in the shoes of a grieving family. If you have information which could assist please speak up.
“If you don’t want to speak to the police then you can pass on information anonymously via Crimestoppers but please don’t let those who are responsible for Adam’s death continue to walk our streets.”
Anyone with information which could assist the investigation into Adam’s murder can contact Merseyside Police via Public Portal (mipp.police.uk) or by calling 101 or DM @MerPolCC.
If you prefer not to speak to the police, you can stay anonymous and may be eligible for a reward by contacting Crimestoppers’ UK Contact Centre on freephone 0800 555 111 or by visiting crimestoppers-uk.org.
