Police have offered £5,000 for information to help catch the killers of Brixton woman Jacqueline Nyeko.

The partially-clothed body of 24-year-old Jacqueline was found by two shoolboys in a storage area under Beckham House, on the Ethelred Estate, Black Prince Road, Kennington at 4pm on Sunday, January 13 of this year. A subsequent post mortem found the cause of death to be head injuries.

Ugandan national Jacqueline, also known as Jacqueline Atim, had been living in the Brixton area for a number of years.

Now police are again appealing for sightings of Jacqueline who was last seen in St John's Crescent, off Brixton Road, Stockwell, at 10pm on Thursday, January 10. Police believe she had been in the McDonalds restaurant, Brixton Road, at about 4pm on the same day but are keen to find out where she went after this.

They would like to know her movements in the days leading up to her disappearance.

When she went missing she was wearing a two-tone beige woollen hat, a long beige puffa jacket, a black zip-up jumper, beige trousers and black boots.

Three men, arrested in February in connection with the inquiry, have been bailed to return to a south London police station later this month.

Head of the investigation Det Chief Insp Keith Eldridge said: "I cannot stress enough that even the smallest piece of information, that people may thing is not important, may be vital to police.

"Someone out there knows where Jacqueline was between the evening of Thursday 10th January and the afternoon of Sunday 13th January when her body was discovered.

"A reward of £5000 is available to anyone that provides information leading to the arrest and conviction of Jacqueline's killer.

"Jacqueline's family has been devastated by her death and they just want to know what happened to her".

Anyone with any information or who may have known Jacqueline should call 020 8217 6453 or Crimestoppers anonymously.
