Why are they offering a reward for one murder but not for all cases?
Maybe because solving one murder could lead to uncovering a larger criminal network or bringing closure to a grieving family. Offering a reward for every case might be impractical or dilute the focus on specific investigations. Prioritizing cases doesnt mean others are forgotten.
Do we really need £10,000 rewards for killers? Shouldnt we invest in prevention instead?
Rewarding killers with money is absurd! Prevention should be our priority, not encouraging violence for profit. Lets invest in creating safer communities and addressing root causes rather than incentivizing criminal behavior. Money wont bring back the victims or heal the wounds of those affected.
Why focus on reward money when we should address root causes of violence?
I think the reward money could be better spent on community programs.
While community programs are important, offering reward money can incentivize people to come forward with valuable information. It can help solve crimes and bring closure to victims and their families. Sometimes a targeted approach is necessary to address specific issues effectively.
Do you think the killer could be hiding in plain sight? #conspiracytheory
Nah, thats just paranoia talking. The killer is probably long gone by now or laying low somewhere far away. Stop watching too many crime shows and focus on reality. #staygrounded
I think the reward is too low! They should up it to £50,000.
I disagree. £50,000 would be excessive. The current reward is reasonable and reflects the value of the task. Quality over quantity. Lets not inflate expectations.
Why should taxpayers foot the bill for rewards? Let the police do their job.
I think the reward is too low, should be at least £50,000. Justice matters!
I think the reward should be higher to catch the killer faster.

Do you think rewards like this actually help solve crimes or just attract attention?
I wonder if the reward money could be better spent elsewhere…
Maybe investing in solving the root causes of the issue would be more effective than rewarding after the fact. Prevention is key.
Do you think rewards are an effective way to catch criminals?
Shouldnt we be focusing on preventing crime instead of just offering rewards?
Do you think the reward will actually lead to catching the killer?
Do you think rewards actually help solve crimes or just attract false leads?
Do you think the reward money will actually help catch the killer?
I doubt it. Money may motivate some, but catching a killer requires more than just a cash incentive. Its about evidence, cooperation, and dedication from law enforcement. Lets hope justice prevails regardless of a reward.
