By Car wanted in murder investigation was stolen
Following a Crimestoppers appeal , Humberside Police have released further information regarding the car in Ian Staves’ murder.
Ian, 44, was discovered dead at his home on Monday 12 September having suffered injuries consistent with third-party involvement.
A red 69-plated Vauxhall Corsa SRI Turbo was seen in the area between 10.20pm and 11.00pm on the day he was found. The last three letters of the registration were YEL.
It is believed a red Vauxhall Corsa was driven away from the scene in a northerly direction, passing through Barton-upon-Humber before crossing the Humber Bridge at around 12:25am.
Crimestoppers yesterday released an appeal offering £20,000 in reward for information that would lead to an arrest.
Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Alan Curtis said: “We now believe the 69-plate red Vauxhall Corsa, which had a registration ending in YEL, was stolen from Hull as part of a burglary that occurred overnight on Friday 9 September 2022.
“It is believed the vehicle was in the Hull area immediately before it was driven over the Humber Bridge towards Ian’s address in Wootton.
“You can make contact with the independent charity Crimestoppers completely anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you have any information, no matter how small or insignificant you think it may be, as it could prove vital to our investigation and bringing Ian’s killer to justice.
“Information can also be passed directly to the investigation team and will be dealt with in the strictest confidence through the Major Incident Public Portal or you can call us on 101, quoting log 210 of 12 September.”
