Bobby Zamora has given his support to a fresh appeal
searching for information on the death of local schoolboy Adam
Regis, who was murdered in March, just yards away from the Boleyn
Ground.
In a press conference held at the stadium yesterday, the Hammers striker was joined by the family of the 15-year-old, as police released new CCTV footage of the suspects and the vehicle they believe was used during the incident.
Bobby said: "Being a local lad myself and growing up in the area, I found it particularly devastating when I heard the news about Adam's death. He was a normal, well-behaved, 15-year old with his whole life ahead of him and there is no explanation as to why someone would choose to take it away from him.
"Along with the police, I appeal strongly to anyone out there who has any information that could help with the enquiries into his murder, no matter how small it seems it may well be vital to the police investigation and help justice prevail.'
An incident room is operating at Barking under DCI Matthew Horne from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, who said: "Adam was a good decent youngster, doing well at school and very caring towards his family and friends who have been left devastated by what has happened."
A £20,000 reward is also being offered for the arrest and prosecution of the killer/s.
DCI Horne added: "We hope this reward will encourage people to come forward, it's a substantial sum of money and I hope it assists in bringing Adam's killers to justice.
"We have made arrests in this case but no charges have been brought and we need help from the public."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8345 3775. If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. You can also email [email protected]
