I come from Lincolnshire originally. My brother still lives there. He said that it sounded Eastern European to him. In Boston Lincolnshire there is now a record number of murders. Most are Eastern European on Eastern European, but some have been against locals, The biggest group is the Poles.

''Police have also revealed Mr Wood's body was mutilated after his death, possibly for "gratification".Businessman had throat cut in torture ordeal
Detective Superintendent Stuart Morrison, who is leading the murder investigation, said he now had a full DNA profile of one of the killers.
A £60,000 reward is on offer for information leading to a successful conviction.
He said: "In my 24 years I have seen a lot of severe injuries inflicted in the furtherance of homicide but I have never seen anything like this.''
''It is thought he knew his killer or killers as there was no sign of forced entry in to his home. Detectives are also investigating whether they were from abroad.
Police believe there was a second motive and that they weren't just after Mr Wood's money.''
This is all interesting. It is thought he knew his killer or killers? That’s new info to me. Perhaps that is why there is an ongoing appeal to trace a Polish national, Pawel Wrzyszcz, a car washer who worked at a local car wash that Alan was known to have frequented with his Jaguar. Apparently he wasn’t considered a suspect though?
I wonder if Alan occasionally employed Eastern Europeans in his gardening business eg. as labourers. If so, perhaps one or two took offence at something he said, thought he hadn't paid them enough etc
Wishing now that i had not purposely left out the bit in an news item, suggesting that the victim may have visited S.Workers, because i cannot locate it at the moment. So consider it speculation, imo.
I thought the suggestion was that they had visited him at his home. Otherwise, they would not have known where he lived. However, if that was true, they would only have seen that he was in modest circumstances. It isn't as if they would have seen lots of expensive stuff to steal. And the murderers were not burglars, they didn't steal items from his house. They tortured him for some reason.
Yes, I think that’s a very strong theory. I had originally believed the level of violence used was perhaps torture, in order to gain Alan’s PIN number. It does seem like it could have been personal too though, despite people saying he had no known enemies, it is entirely possible that he had angered someone he had employed.
That’s a good question. It wasn’t mentioned during the original Crimewatch appeal. I feel it may have first been alluded to on the Donal Macintyre Unsolved episode? Although it has been many years since I saw that. I’m not sure if it was speculation though or wether he’d actually told a friend perhaps?
I don’t recall seeing those top 2 images you posted before, the ones that look like they’re captured from CCTV from inside a shop or cafe. I mentioned the appeal for a specific person in one of my earlier posts, a Polish National I believe who worked at a local car wash that Alan visited. I’m not sure if that person was ever tracked down? I recall them saying this person wasn’t a suspect but could maybe assist them, or something along those lines?
