Money is being raised to pay people who come forward with information about a Jack Russell found dead in a suitcase in Sheffield.

Twelve-year-old Prince disappeared from the home of his owner’s friend in Raby Street in Tinsley at around 11pm on Bonfire Night.

He was found dead in a suitcase by a woman on Tuesday morning.
