Essex Police Offer £10,000 Reward in Hunt for Suspect in Chelmsford Landfill Murder

Crimestoppers seeks exclusive tip-offs for the arrest of Ceyhan Dinler in the unresolved killing of Cumali Turhan.

Overview

  • The £10,000 reward is for information that leads to Dinler’s arrest and can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers.
  • Dinler, seen on CCTV with Turhan shortly before the attack, left the UK via Stansted on November 19, 2024, and remains wanted.
  • Turhan’s remains were found on January 11, 2025, after a 47‑day search at the Bellhouse/Enovert landfill near Colchester that sifted about 1,500 tonnes of waste and deployed more than 1,650 officer shifts across ten sites.
  • An inquest recorded multiple stab wounds with a provisional cause consistent with neck injuries, and forensic and CCTV evidence linked the attack to the Barista bar in Chelmsford.
  • A Channel 4 documentary airing this week released additional material, including the original 999 call, renewing public attention as the manhunt continues.
