Long-jump star in appeal to find his cousin's killers

A former British long jumper has appealed for information about his cousin's murder on the first anniversary of his death.

Fred Salle, who won silver at the 1986 Commonwealth Games and was World Cup winner in 1994, urged witnesses to come forward to help find 19-year-old Edvin Johnson's killers.

Edvin was stabbed to death in a stairwell on the Crawford Estate in Southwark. No one has been charged with the murder.

Mr Salle, 43, said: "It is still very difficult to deal with because I was extremely close to him."

Edvin's mother Genevive will lead a vigil at the estate today.

Police are also offering a £20,000 reward for information leading to successful prosecutions in the case.
