The funeral of 75-year-old Mohammed Saleem who was attacked as he walked home from evening prayers in Small Heath on Monday 29th April is taking place. A £10,000 reward for information about his murder is still being offered.
Police are following new leads after the murder of a Birmingham pensioner was featured on the BBC's Crimewatch programme last night.
Police are particularly keen to hear from an anonymous male caller who left information surrounding the incident following the show and have appealed for this person to call back.
A team of dedicated police officers are still investigating the murder of Mr Saleem and are working closely with Crimestoppers to gather as much information as possible to help crack the case. Crimestoppers are offering a £10,000 reward for anything that leads to an arrest and conviction.
