Humberside detectives investigating the murder of Corey Dobbe in Hull are making a renewed appeal for information, alongside Corey’s family, on the fourth anniversary of his death.

Corey was 23-years-old when he died after being stabbed on Harleston Close in Hull on Sunday 13 June 2021.

"no words will bring him back"

In a statement released to mark four years since Corey’s death, his brother and family said:

“It is now the fourth anniversary of Corey’s murder and there are still people out there who know what happened to him that day.

“Corey was much-loved by all of his family and friends, and we will never get over the heartbreak of losing him. He is always in our hearts, and no words will bring him back.

“We just want justice for Corey, our pain and distress will continue every day until those responsible face justice.”

"out there somewhere"

Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) Detective superintendent Alan Curtis said: “Although Corey’s murder happened four years ago, his family continue to grieve for him as if his death was only yesterday and they will be unable to move forward fully without knowing who was responsible for his death.

“Detectives have worked restlessly on this investigation, following up on all lines of enquiry provided to us and we remain committed to bringing the person responsible to justice.

“I want to sincerely thank all those who have contacted us and provided information. This has all gone to help us to gather intelligence to support our investigation.

“There has been a huge police operation to investigate Corey’s murder and the focus of the ongoing police investigation remains on locating Moise Djuku, who we suspect has vital information.

“Moise Djuku is out there somewhere, I would ask again for anyone who knows where he is, to come forward and give us that vital information.

"No matter how small or insignificant they think any information they have may be, I would urge them to please come forward as it could prove vital to our investigation and may assist in any additional lines of enquiry.

“A £10K Crimestoppers reward remains in place, for information that leads to his arrest.

“Crimestoppers is completely independent of the police. Anyone giving information to them is anonymous and remains anonymous.

“I want to help Corey’s grieving family get justice for his senseless killing. Corey Dobbe and his family deserve justice. They deserve their day in court and to bring his killer to justice.”
