Reward Offer Over Birmingham Couple's Death
Crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of Carole and Avtar Kolar at their home in Birmingham.
Carole, aged 58, and Avtar, aged 62, were found dead at their address in Friary Road, Handsworth Wood, at around 8am on Wednesday (11 January) by their police officer son.
The couple had been spoken to the evening before the murder, but when they failed to answer their son’s calls on Wednesday morning, he went to their home where he discovered their bodies.

"Those responsible for this must be brought to justice and I would urge anyone with information that might help to contact Crimestoppers anonymously. Ring 0800 555 111 or use our secure online Giving Information Form. We guarantee your anonymity either way."
The reward of up to £10,000 is available to anyone providing information to Crimestoppers, which leads to the arrest and conviction of the persons responsible for this crime.
