Detectives from the PSNI's Major Investigation Team have issued a fresh plea for information regarding the murder of Glenn Quinn. The appeal, made on Friday 9 January to coincide with the six-year anniversary of Mr Quinn's death, is supported by a combined reward of up to £40,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

The total reward includes £20,000 from the independent charity Crimestoppers, alongside a further £20,000 from an anonymous donor. While the donor's contribution is not affiliated with Crimestoppers, it also applies to any information resulting in a conviction.

Mr Quinn was discovered dead in his home in the Ashleigh Park area of Carrickfergus on Saturday, 4th January 2020. Detective Inspector Jack Kelly stated: "Six years have now passed since Mr Quinn was tragically found dead inside his own home in the Ashleigh Park area of Carrickfergus. We are conscious that this is six long years that his family have continued to suffer without the answers or justice that they deserve. Detectives continue to investigate Mr Quinn's senseless murder, and we remain as steadfast as ever in our dedication to bring those responsible for Glenn's murder to justice." DI Kelly added that he believes Mr Quinn was the victim of a premeditated and "callous" attack by a group of men in the days prior to the discovery of his body. He described Mr Quinn as a "defenceless man" who would have suffered a "slow and painful death."

Supporting the appeal, Glenn Quinn's family expressed their desire for the public to remember him as a "kind, decent man" and urged anyone with details to speak out.

They said: "As a family we fully support the Major Investigation Team and the investigation into Glenn's murder. Our main aim over the last six years has always been that Glenn would not be forgotten about, and that those responsible would ultimately be brought before the courts. Glenn's face is on banners all over his home town, we would ask anyone who holds any information in relation to his cowardly murder to have a look at Glenn, remember the kind, decent man he was and to come forward to police or Crimestoppers."

Information can be provided with total anonymity through Crimestoppers. The charity confirmed that they do not track IP addresses or record calls. A spokesperson clarified that the reward is only payable for information shared directly with them, and callers must request a reward code when contacting their centre or using their online form.
