Police Reopen Hunt for Killer 21 Years After Arson Attack That Claimed Father-of-Three’s Life in Shipley

Detectives in West Yorkshire are making a fresh appeal for information more than two decades after a devastating arson attack killed a father of three in Shipley.

The Major Investigation Review Team has stepped back into the case, hoping that after 21 years, someone who has been staying silent might finally be ready to come forward and talk.

The attack happened on Prospect Grove in Shipley, Bradford, and left a family without their dad. Despite the years that have passed, the case remains unsolved, and investigators believe there are still people out there who know something.

Cold case reviews like this one often catch killers out. People talk. Relationships break down. Loyalties shift. What someone swore they would never say 21 years ago can look very different today, and detectives are counting on exactly that.

West Yorkshire Police have not given up on finding justice for the victim and his family. The Major Investigation Review Team was set up specifically to take another hard look at serious unsolved cases, and this arson killing is now firmly back in their sights.

Anyone with information, no matter how small or how long ago they came across it, is being urged to get in touch with West Yorkshire Police. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 if you do not want to give your name.

  1. Bloody hell, 21 years is a long time. Hope they finally get some justice for that poor family. Those kids would be adults now living with that their whole lives. Really hope someone finally comes forward with something useful.
