The cash was made available on November 25 in the hope that it would tempt those with information about the murder of Carlo Giannini to come forward. The 34-year-old’s body was found in Manor Fields Park, off City Road, at around 5am, on Thursday, May 12. He had been stabbed to death.
Carlo was a pizza chef who was originally from Italy but had moved to Sheffield, where he lived and worked. CCTV evidence suggests he walked into the park around 1.18am on the day he was killed, although what happened afterwards continues to be a mystery.
