A name that will be very familiar to many, John Palmer, a "Mr Big" of international notoriety (and The Roger Cook programme) believed to have been the victim of a 'hit'.

"shot dead,may have been the victim of a hit"

LOLOL, my thoughts exactly Bito. They've had since Sunday to form this staggering conclusion apparently.
Susie Sim would have cracked this case by the time Jess Yates would have been playing with his organ on 'Stars on Sunday". |

By:
why oh why... do they always hail from essex?
 about time they sealed it off imo  |
|
By:
if susie had been on the patch she would have shouted "DUCK JOHN" and caught the bullet between her teeth,
then nipped over to tunisia and wiped out the bad guys then flew home to visit her hairdresser FACT |
|
By:
LOL, I never doubted it.

His death was reported days ago on the BBC.
Iirc, they said he a heart attack. |
|
By:
probably when he saw the shotgun

You can see now why the terrorists and criminals are so terrified of the Frighteningly Efficient British Bobby.

You'd think when a notorious gangster dies suddenly they'd check for bullet holes.
|
|
By:
An autoposy revealed that the cause of heart failure was a cartridge of shot gun pellets obstructing his aorta.
|
|
By:
Thought he got sucked out of an air plane window.

Fall out from the Hatton Garden safe deposit robbery? Just a thought, after Brinks Mat a few people turned up dead.

they should get the carry on constable team on the case oh i forgot they have

I know plod are useless but at the end of the day a major criminal has been killed so who really cares.

Since Palmer owns half of Tenerife no doubt the boys in blue will be in the Gatwick airport lounge as we speak. Month or so in the sun collecting clues

"You'd think when a notorious gangster dies suddenly they'd check for bullet holes."
On local TV news tonight they said initially they thought the holes in his chest were from a recent operation for heart surgery. |
|
By:
I'm sure that's an easy mistake to make.
Still, "lessons will be learned". |
|
By:
I reckon 'Silent Witness' will do a story based on these events when all the fuss dies down. An increasingly-deranged Dr Nikki will fail to spot the bullet holes, and without Leo and Harry to assist it will be left to lab worker Davros to save the day.

|
By:
They'll get luvvies to play the parts of the bullet holes.
Empty, with nothing to say. |
|
By:
just read on twitter the essex police held a press conference appealing to the hitman to hand himself in
job done |
|
By:
LOL, I wouldn't put it past them.
