Reward offered as police continue hunt for murder suspect

FURTHER to our reports last week, a reward of up to £5,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a key suspect in an ongoing murder investigation.
Officers are keen to know the whereabouts of 21-year-old James Atherley, who was first named as a person of interest last week.
The appeal comes after Callum Lees, 20, suffered a fatal stab wound in Hopwas Grove, Kingshurst on August 6. The independent charity Crimestoppers has put up the reward.
Pauline Hadley, Crimestoppers' West Midlands Regional Manager, said: "Someone who saw this stabbing take place is likely to know James Atherley personally, and we understand passing on his details to us is a tough decision to make.
"But we’re here to help, to take your information without asking any of your personal details, and without you having to speak to the police or going to court."
Det Insp Jim Munro, who is leading the investigation into Callum's death, said: "Our enquiries lead us to believe that James Atherley is no longer in the West Midlands and may have links to Weston-Super-Mare."
In a fresh statement, Callum's family said: "Every morning we wake up and we realise our son has gone.
"The only thing that keeps us going is knowing that we have to be there for our children and family, so we’ve got to get through this but our lives will never be the same again.
"To the person that has taken Callum from us, please do the right thing and give yourself up. We need some sense of closure. Please allow us to bury our boy."
