Crimestoppers is offering a £20,000 reward for help to solve the murder of an Italian chef stabbed to death in Sheffield.

The body of Carlo Giannini, aged 34, 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.
