Reward for information to trace a man wanted for the murder of man in Croydon

Detectives are offering a substantial reward for information to trace a man wanted for the murder of Rijkaard Saifa in Croydon.

The reward of up to £10,000 is being offered to anyone who has information that leads to the arrest and charge of Jordan Vincent.

A murder investigation was launched after police were called to reports of a man stabbed in Fellmongers Yard, Croydon on Friday, 12 April.

A number of members of the public attempted to provide first aid, before police, London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance arrived at the scene. Sadly, despite their efforts, Rijkaard died at the scene.

Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, who leads the investigation, said:

“Officers have been working tirelessly on this case since April. While the investigation continues, we are appealing to people to dig deep into their consciences - if you have information that can help, I urge you to come forward.

“Rijkaard was only 22 and had his full life ahead of him and his family are desperate for answers – our team remains resolute in helping them secure justice and need the public’s help to do so.

“I am grateful to all those who have come forward so far but would ask anyone with information about the whereabouts of Jordon Vincent – no matter how insignificant you think it might be – to get in contact as this could prove to be crucial.”
