£100,000 reward for help finding Brentwood businessman’s killer

Crimestoppers are offering up to £100,000 for help in finding the killer or killers of Brentwood businessman John Palmer.

The 65-year-old was repeatedly shot at his home in Sandpit Lane in 2015.

The charity Crimestoppers has now teamed up with Essex Police to launch an anniversary appeal.

The county’s force said Palmer’s murder bears all the hallmarks of a contract killing and detectives believe a hole found in a garden fence of the property near to the incinerator suggests the killer may have been watching him in the days leading up to his death.

John Palmer had a criminal history in both the UK and Europe and at the time of his death, he was due to stand trial for real estate fraud in Tenerife.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for information about a man and woman seen near to Mr Palmer’s home the day before the murder.

Christina Ketley, Mr Palmer’s partner, said: “Losing a loved one is hard enough but in this case we have the added stress of not only not knowing who did it but why.

“I felt that the future would continue to be as perfect as [the Father’s Day before he died], with family at the centre of everything. I never dreamed it would be the last time we were all together as a family with John. Since then every Father’s Day, every birthday and every special occasion is a constant reminder of not only the fact that John is not with us, but that his life was so ruthlessly cut short.”

Roger Critchell, Director of Operations, Crimestoppers said: “We understand that people are not always willing to go to the police so we would urge them to contact Crimestoppers with 100% anonymity through our phone line or our online form.”

If anyone has information on the murder of John Palmer they can contact us anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through the secure online form.
