£20k Crimestoppers reward offered as police renew appeal on first anniversary of murder near Langford
A £20,000 reward has been offered for information about the murder of a man found in a burnt out car near Langford – a year on from his death.
Police were called to reports of a burnt-out vehicle, believed to be a Skoda Octavia, in a field near the B659 Langford Road just before 7.30am on Thursday, February 6 2025.
Officers found a body in the driver’s seat, later confirmed to be 47-year-old Jesbir Singh Khela, known to some as Jessy, from Letchworth, Hertfordshire.
Despite seven arrests made in connection with the murder, nobody has been charged.
Crimestoppers is now offering a £20,000 reward for information given to them that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his death.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Inwood, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said: "A year on from the tragic death of Jessy, his family and friends still have many unanswered questions.
“We know that someone out there will have information that could help us find out what happened in the lead up to his death. Please do come forward and tell us what you know.
“If you don't want to speak to the police, you can speak to independent charity Crimestoppers, which is separate to the police. They will not share any of your details with us, and they are offering a reward of £20,000 for information which leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.”
