From August: Surrey Police release CCTV images of Coulsdon man Ricardo Hunter shot dead at Headley pool party

A 36-year-old woman also suffered gunshot wounds to the leg in the attack last summer, but is believed to be making a good recovery.

Surrey Police last night released footage which the force believes shows Mr Hunter arriving at the party at about 1.40am. It was aired on weekly crime appeal show Crimewatch.

The show’s host Jeremy Vine said Mr Hunter, a 34-year-old man from Coulsdon, was one of about 400 guests at the party, and called on them to come forward and offer information.

He said: “Detectives need your help to piece together exactly what happened to Ricardo that night that resulted in him being shot dead with a 9mm bullet.”
