February 1994

Larry Burt

Wapping, London

''56-year-old Burt, an artist, quality controller and Red Cross employee from Ramsgate in Kent, was strangled to death with a scarf in the yard
of a warehouse in St Katharine's Way, Wapping. The scarf, which did not belong to him, was found at the scene along with his body, but his

bicycle, binoculars, wallet, rucksack and camera were missing. Burt had caught a train from Ramsgate to London Victoria station on 26

February (the day before his body was found) and probably then cycled to the East End to draw and/or paint there.''

Police win confidence of gays in hunt for murderer

DETECTIVES hunting the killer of a homosexual man in Suffolk are visiting gay 'pick-up' areas in an attempt to contact potential witnesses.

www.independent.co.uk

''Detective Inspector John Barnett, leading the investigation, said Suffolk detectives had been helped by the Metropolitan police and, in particular, Detective Superintendent Albert Patrick who played a key role in the inquiry that led to the conviction last December of the gay serial killer Colin Ireland. Yesterday, Det Supt Patrick issued a further appeal for help in tracking the killer of Barry Stubbings, a City stockbroker who was murdered at his home in Spitalfields in March.

Det Supt Patrick is liaising with London's gay community, as are officers investigating the murders of two other gay men, Basil Wicomb and Larry Burt. Mr Wicomb, 49, was found in a flat in Fulham in January. He had been asphyxiated. Mr Burt was found strangled in February near Tower Bridge.''
