Overview

• John ‘Goldfinger’ Palmer was shot six times in his Brentwood garden on 24 June 2015 as he burned rubbish on a bonfire.
• In the weeks before his death, Palmer and ten others faced charges over a Tenerife property fraud that allegedly netted £30 million from investors.
• A hole discovered in Palmer’s garden fence suggests his killer may have surveilled him in the days leading up to the shooting.
• Despite hundreds of inquiries and analysis of thousands of evidence items over ten years, no suspect has been identified.
• Officers are urging anyone with knowledge of the case to contact Essex Police or Crimestoppers as new underworld dynamics emerge.
