Musician's slaying sparks reward offer


NEW HAVEN - The state is offering a $20,000 reward to anyone who gives information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever killed musician John Robinson in March. Robinson, 24, was found March 14 in a room at 178 Temple St. His skull had been crushed by a blunt instrument. Police said he had been dead for several days. He used the room as a practice space for his band, Sold on Murder. Police Cmdr. J. Thomas Butler said three detectives are working on the case full-time. Four people interviewed by police have since hired lawyers and are no long cooperating with police. Investigators are also searching for a man who is thought to know who killed Robinson. Butler said several clubs have been seized by police and are being tested for evidence at the state police forensics lab in Meriden. The request for a reward was submitted by New Haven State's Attorney Michael Dearington on March 26 and approved by Gov. William A. O'Neill on Wednesday.
