A Metropolitan Police reward of up to £20,000 reward* for information that leads to the identification, arrest and prosecution of those responsible for killing Jason Isaacs is still being offered.

Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh leading the investigation said: "We continue to appeal for anyone who witnessed the attack, or anyone with information to come forward.

"Our suspects are four people riding on two mopeds. At least one of them was not wearing a crash helmet. Did you see them before, after or during the incident? Can you name any of them?

"Your information, even if provided anonymously through Crimestoppers, could help remove violent criminals from your area or may eliminate someone from police enquiries. No matter how small, please make the call."

Jason was found with serious stab wounds on Newnham Close Northolt on 10.20pm on Saturday, 18 November. He was taken to hospital but died of his wounds three days later.

DCI McHugh added: "I know that there are people who know who the suspects are and it is vital that we hear from those people without delay. A young man has lost his life. your information will make a huge difference and get justice for Jason's family and help us remove these dangerous individuals from your community.

"We are keen to find out where these offenders were before and after the murder - there may be other victims of these four mopeds criminals, and you may not have reported the crime. Your information could be so important to our case."
Jason's Mother said: "Our amazing, beautiful Jason went out with friends for a night out and a few drinks. He should have come home to his loving family. Instead he was brutally attacked, he never stood a chance.

"Our lives are in pieces. Every little piece of information is really important. For Jason, make that call, thank you."
