Detectives involved in the joint investigation by the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch and the Homicide Investigation Group are hopeful that the announcement of a Queensland Government reward of $500,000 will bring in new information to assist police investigations into the murder of Krishna Chopra.
On January 31, 61-year-old Krishna Chopra was located deceased in her home on Park Road, Crows Nest.
Detective Senior Sergeant Paul McCusker from the Toowoomba Criminal Investigation Branch said it was hoped the reward would lead to further arrests.
“We believe there are people out in the community who could have information about Krishna’s murder and that another person or persons were involved in the planning of this offence.
“I urge anyone who has not already come forward, who may have had an association with Ms Chopra or visited her house at 5 Park Road, Crows Nest to come forward,” said Detective Senior Sergeant McCusker.
Additionally, anyone who was in the Park Road area of Crows Nest on January 20, 21 and 22 to contact police to discuss their observations and movements.
A $500,000 reward is now in place for information that leads to the conviction of the person, or persons, found to be responsible for Ms Chopra’s murder.
In addition to the reward, an appropriate indemnity from prosecution will be recommended for any accomplice, not being the person who actually committed the crime, who first gives such information.
In March, a 33-year-old man was charged in connection with the alleged murder following a number of public appeals for information.
Investigations are continuing.
