£10k reward offered to find man accused of torture

A reward of up to £10,000 has been issued by a charity for information that leads to the arrest of a man wanted on suspicion of torturing a woman.

Mohammed Kasim Khan, 23, is wanted in connection with the abuse of a victim over a five-hour period in Acocks Green, Birmingham, in August, Crimestoppers said.

She was left with a broken nose, severe swelling to the eyes and significant damage to her mental health, they added.

Mr Khan is also wanted in connection with two other attacks and people should not approach him but instead contact police or Crimestoppers, the charity said.

The charity said it was independent of the police and guaranteed everyone stays completely anonymous.

Alan Edwards, from Crimestoppers, said: “It is vital that he is arrested as soon as possible.

"We are reminding everyone – especially those who may be intimidated into silence – that they have the option to stay completely anonymous when contacting us."

The charity's reward offer is available until 15 June.
