Reward offered over murder in flat used as brothel
Jinming Zhang was murdered at a flat in Digbeth on 9 February 2022
A £20,000 reward is being offered by Crimestoppers in connection with the murder of a man who was found dead in a Birmingham flat in 2022.
Jinming Zhang had been stabbed multiple times before he was found in the property, which police said was being used as a brothel, in Moseley Street in Digbeth.
West Midlands Police previously released CCTV of a suspect, while a DNA sample from the suspected killer found at the scene did not produce a match on the national database.
The case was featured in the BBC series of Forensics: The Real CSI last year, which revealed police believed the murder suspect may have sustained a hand injury in the frenzied attack.
Jenny Birch, who has been overseeing the investigation, urged anyone with information "no matter how small" to contact police.
"Someone out there knows something, and we won't give up until we have answers," she said.
"Mr Zhang was killed in such awful circumstances, and we will not stop until we find out who did this to him.
"People needn't be afraid to come forward with names. The DNA sample we have means that we are able to quickly and easily eliminate people from our ongoing investigation."
The motive was thought to have been robbery, although police have not been able to confirm that.
