A reward of £10,000 is being offered to anyone with information about a violent robbery that fatally injured a Jewish 98-year old man.

Peter Gouldstone, of Bounds Green, was found on November 6 at his home in Evesham Road, N11, having sustained a head injury and extensive bruising to his body.

There was evidence of disturbance at the property, and a number of Mr Gouldstone’s possessions had been taken. The 98-year old, a World War Two veteran, was hospitalised. He died on Friday night.

Crimestoppers, the independent charity, is offering a £10,000 reward for any information and police urged people to "search their conscience" and step forward.

Detective Inspector Paul Ridley from North Area CID said: "We are all shocked and saddened by the news of Peter’s death. It is the worst news for his family and for all those who cared for and knew him.

“I urge anyone who has information, no matter how small a detail, to search their conscience and contact police without delay.

“I particularly want to hear from people that may have been offered the Panasonic television that was stolen, or who saw either people or vehicles in the vicinity of Evesham Road, Enfield, N11 that may have appeared out of place.

“A Crimestoppers reward of £10,000 remains on offer for anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for this despicable offence.

“Finally, I would ask that Peter’s family are left alone to grieve and come to terms with their loss at this very difficult time.”
