Renewed Appeal For Information On Murder Of Martin Gavin
The PSNI have renewed an appeal for information on the murder of Martin Gavin, as Crimestoppers offer a reward for information.
Crimestoppers, who are independent of the police, has offered a reward of up to £20,000 for anonymous information it receives that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder of Martin Gavin.
Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said: "Martin Gavin was taken to hospital on the morning of Friday 7 January, after being stabbed in a house in north Belfast's Harcourt Drive.
"He sadly passed away some four weeks later, on the morning of Sunday 6 February.
"Mr Gavin's life, at just 47-years-old, has been cut short, and a family have been left bereft.
"A murder investigation has been launched and, today, I am appealing to anyone with information to do the right thing and come forward.
"Were you in the Harcourt Drive area in the early hours of Friday 7th January? Did you see or hear a disturbance or anyone acting suspiciously? If you have any information, or if you've captured dash cam footage, please contact us on 101 quoting reference number 188 of 07/01/22.
"The independent charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information it receives that leads to the prosecution of those responsible. To stay anonymous, contact Crimestoppers directly on freephone 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. There is no caller line display, no 1471 facility and computer IP addresses are never traced."
