Reward Offered In Hunt For Man Who Attacked Pregnant Woman
A £20,000 reward has been offered for information leading the to conviction of the person responsible for a "brutal assault" of a pregnant woman on 15 June in Peckham.
The 21-year-old woman was 32 weeks pregnant when she was attacked on Talfourd Place, Peckham, at about 20:00 on Monday, 15 June. She was approached by two men wearing crash helmets, who pushed her to the ground and kicked and stamped on her stomach.
The woman's unborn child did not survive the attack.
Detective Inspector David Suddick, from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "Although one man has been charged, we have yet to identify the second person involved in this horrific attack.
"The victim has recovered physically from her ordeal but naturally remains devastated at the loss of her baby.
"Somewhere out there is a very violent individual and we hope the offer of this reward may encourage someone to come forward. If you have any information, please contact us."
The outstanding suspect is described as being in his 20s.
DI Suddick added: "We are also appealing for any information about the victim's white iPhone 5s which went missing during the attack. It has yet to be traced."
Anyone who can help is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8345 3985 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
