Northamptonshire Police are offering a £35,000 reward to help track down 'Britian's most wanted' murder suspect after a staggering 10 years on the run. Dad-of-two Jon Casey, 35, was stabbed to death outside an Indian restaurant in Northampton on January 16, 2015 following a "vicious, brutal and merciless" attack. Following the horrific incident, police named Waijs Dahir as the prime suspect.
The University of Northampton student, who was 21 at the time, is believed to have travelled to Coventry on the day of the murder and fled the country the following day. The now 31-year-old is believed to currently be in Somalia or Kenya. Northamptonshire Police today renewed an appeal for information on the 10th anniversary of Jon's death in a bid to finally catch his killer. Jon’s family also released an emotional statement as they also pleaded to the public for help.
They said: “Ten years without Jon, a partner, a son, a brother and a daddy to two little girls, is a sadness beyond words. “Knowing the cruel way he was a killed is a horror we have to live with every day. Time cannot ease our sadness or erase the horrific memories of that night.
“Living without justice, without the person that killed Jon being held accountable for the horror they put Jon through 10 years ago, and us for every day of the last 10 years, is a sadness that is hard to comprehend. “Maybe, knowing that the person responsible for Jon’s vicious, brutal and merciless murder has been held accountable will help us all to heal a little. Our world has been a lot less fun without Jon in it.”.
