Renewed Appeal For Information On 2020 Murder Of Glenn Quinn
The PSNI's Major Investigation Team have issued a fresh appeal for information on the murder of Glenn Quinn, who was found dead at his Carrickfergus home on Saturday, 04 January 2020.
Marking the 4th anniversary of the murder, the appeal is backed by an increased reward of up to £40,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. Twenty thousand pounds of the total reward is offered by the charity Crimestoppers, and the additional £20,000 – £10,000 previously and £10,000 today – has been offered by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.
Making the appeal, Detective Inspector Gina Quinn said: "Glenn was found dead in his home in Ashleigh Park in Carrickfergus on the evening of Saturday 4 January 2020.
"I believe he was attacked, by a group of men, at some stage during the preceding Thursday or Friday.
"He was subjected to a shocking and brutal attack inside his own home, a place where he should have been safe and secure. After the cowardly and violent beating, Glenn, who was a defenceless man, was left to die a slow and painful death from serious injuries, which included multiple rib fractures.
"Glenn was just 47 years old when he was murdered. He was well-known and well-liked by all, and his death has left, not only a family bereft, but an entire community in shock."
Detective Inspector Quinn continued: "It's four years on, and Glenn's family have had to make it through yet another Christmas without their loved one. Their heartache goes on, and is magnified by the fact that those responsible have not yet been brought to justice.
"There are people out there who know the circumstances and who know who's responsible. I understand that they may be reluctant or afraid to speak up, and I'm keen to stress that information can be passed to the charity Crimestoppers with complete anonymity. There is now an increased reward of up to £40,000, which I hope will encourage people to come forward with any information they may have."
A spokesperson for the charity Crimestoppers explained: "With Crimestoppers, computer IP addresses are never traced. Telephone calls are never recorded, there is no caller line display and no 1471 facility. We are independent of the police and guarantee complete anonymity.
"The reward will only be payable for information passed directly to Crimestoppers and not to the police. A reward code must be asked for when speaking to our Contact Centre or when completing an anonymous online form via our website."
