Overview
- Scotland Yard said detectives are assessing whether the newly reported information constitutes a new and realistic line of enquiry in the 1999 killing.
- A newly surfaced photo shows Milorad Ulemek wearing a navy striped tie that a certified analyst says offers moderate support for a match with the tie worn by CCTV’s unidentified “Man X.”
- Cold case officers are expected to seek the original “Man X” footage believed to be stored within 223 boxes and apply modern imaging; the suspect was recorded near Putney Bridge about 20 minutes after the shooting.
- Several witnesses told reporters the running man they saw near Fulham resembled Ulemek, including one who said she was adamant it was the same person seen on the day of the murder.
- Ulemek is a convicted paramilitary commander serving 40 years in Serbia, has not engaged with UK investigators, and files cited by the Mirror note unidentified fingerprints and a footprint that could be re-examined.
