Corey Dobbe murder: Fresh appeal four months on from killing

VICTIM: Corey Dobbe

Humberside Police have today issued a fresh appeal for information to track down the prime suspect in the murder of Corey Dobbe, four months on from his killing.

Corey, 23, suffered fatal stab wounds in an incident in Harleston Close, east Hull, on June 13. He was treated at the scene but died a short time later.

Three arrests have been made as part of the police investigation, but chief suspect Moise Djuku remains at large.

Detective Chief Inspector Alan Curtis said: “For operational reasons I am unable to share much of the information we have gathered in connection with Corey’s death. Our investigation into his murder has continued to focus on locating Moise Djuku, who we believe has crucial information.

“Corey’s body has now been released to his family and his funeral took place on September 16. We remain in support of Corey’s family as they continue to come to terms with Corey's senseless killing.

“A huge amount of work has been undertaken by our team of investigators. They have acted on every single piece of information that has been called in to us. I would appeal again for anyone with any information, no matter how small, that they might have in connection with Corey’s death to come to us.

WANTED: Moise Djuku

“Our investigation focus remains to locate Moise Djuku. As yet we have not been able to find him, despite extensive searches, a nationwide wanted appeal and a BBC Crimewatch appeal.

“Someone out there knows where he is and we would welcome any information that would help us locate him.”

Anyone providing information leading to Djuku’s arrest could claim a £5,000 reward from Crimestoppers.

Det Chf Insp Curtis said: “Crimestoppers is completely independent of the police. Anyone giving information is anonymous and remains anonymous – we don’t find out who they are.

“I would urge anyone who has information to contact them and tell Crimestoppers what they know.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Humberside Police on the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
