00:11Your dad, were you in a necklace?
00:13It's my dad's fingerprint.
00:15Oh, is it? Yeah.
00:16Oh, that's such a lovely thing.
00:19When did you get that done?
00:21I asked a few more directors to get a print of his fingerprint.
00:30Yeah.
00:32I like.
00:33Yeah, I never take it off.
00:37Some people have described him as a gangster.
00:39How do you do about that term?
00:47It's hard for me to say on that
00:49because it's quite hard to think of your dad like that.
00:57As a gangster?
00:58Yeah.
00:59And I don't think we do.
01:09My dad's house was secluded.
01:13When I was told he had been murdered, I'd actually speak to him a couple of hours before.
01:29He did go to prison.
01:33He did his time.
01:35Now, he was saying, well, that was, you know, it's maybe time for him to have a bit more of a relaxed life.
01:46Did your dad ever get death rats?
01:47Did your dad ever get death rats?
01:55Did your dad ever get death rats?
01:56death rats not that i was aware of no
02:02he never acted like he was in fear of his life
02:12all i kept thinking is why why somebody would even want to kill my dad
02:26one of britain's most notorious gangsters shot at close range but who ordered john palmer's murder
02:36and why
02:37you can run for a long time run for a long time run for a long time
02:47one of these days gonna cut you down one of these days gonna cut you down
02:56oh
03:04come on stay off the ropes stay off the ropes
03:07whoa you're wide open too wide open there john palmer did four years for timeshare fraud
03:16while palmer was inside his former right hand man mo durba
03:20moved in on his territory and ran it like his own empire
03:27when palmer got out his assets were frozen
03:30the spanish police were sniffing about and rival gangs were coming in from all directions
03:36so he did what any old school fighter would do he tucked in his chin he slipped back to essex and he took cover
03:47but for palmer this wasn't the kind of game you can just retire from
03:52because in his line of work there's always the risk that someone's going to come after you with a sucker punch
03:57and when it finally came to the end there were actually two killers that took him down
04:04one with enough money to buy a contract hit the other came with a silenced pistol
04:17so i've been investigating the murder of john palmer now for
04:34a year there's two distinct theories we're looking at at the moment
04:39first one is brink's matt
04:49mickey mcavoy revenge mcavoy was being screwed by people on the outside he was violent and he may
04:57have had a motive to kill john palmer and the second theory is that palmer was killed by the russian
05:03mafia do you know how much debt palmer was in a million pounds a week interest is that's just
05:10interest just interest wow they put out the hit on john palmer and assassins carried out the hit
05:19over the years police have chased hundreds of leads without charging anyone rumors and speculation
05:24are rife in the press and social media but there must be more to uncover
05:28over at his old bailey trial 14 years ago gangster john palmer wore a bulletproof vest
05:37in june alone and vulnerable in the garden of his essex home he was shot dead
05:43john palmer's underworld life meant he was a potential target for many years and he knew it the bulletproof
05:50vest this secluded home what we know about palmer's life from the outside of this stage
05:58is that he'd made it look like he was in retirement from his criminal activities
06:03in reality he'd withdrawn into a fortress the house was wired with cctv covering every angle
06:10and he had four guard dogs on a daily rotation so you've got to ask what kind of assassin could
06:17breach this level of security shoot john six times and vanish without a trace
06:22so i'm going to meet philip boyce a firearms expert who's 40 years experience
06:34we're going to go to the scene and i'm hoping that phil can interpret the scene
06:38and identify the methodology used by the killer
06:46morning philip morning okay yeah nice to see you again and you
06:58this is obviously the the public footpath this is the uh that's the house in the foreground
07:05this is the wooden fence that's the circumference runs around the circumference of the entire garden
07:10is that the original height of the yes yeah quite quite a big area of property as well yeah it's
07:17massive so the path goes off to the slightly to left and there's like a dip down and it's over on the
07:24that part of the fence where they say there was a hole that the shooter had kept observation on john
07:31on the ground so this is the effectively the sea
07:46you've got john palmer on his lawn tractor backwards and forwards to an area over here
07:51here which is where he's burning documents
08:05the shooter is hiding behind the fence no cctv in this area
08:25the shooter goes over the fence
08:38shoots john three times in the front three times in the back
08:43and then he's found about 15 meters away
08:53the gun there's no cartridges anywhere no nobody hears the shots
09:01at the time they didn't know what happened to him obviously
09:04many many days later they find six bullet wounds in him
09:07and according to the police it was a 32 caliber silenced weapon so what's your views on that
09:16to give you an idea of the range of calibers you can have something like a 2.2 caliber
09:23right but that's quite small you wouldn't think that would kill someone that that will travel for
09:28maybe a mile and a half wow from from a rifle or a pistol right
09:32that's the one which is the one we're talking about it's developing somewhere in the region of 190 200
09:42foot pounds so so it's got good injury stroke lethal power and also the bullets recovered were from a
09:53smoothbore barrel which may indicate the weapon used was a silenced revolver
10:02and why is it that you think the police considered it was a revolver that was used in the murder well again
10:21really to demonstrate it this is a sound moderator right and inside the sound moderator is a series of metal baffles
10:30and whenever it's fitted to a gun the bullet sometimes hits those baffles
10:36and there must have been some marks on the bullet to suggest that it was fired through a silencer or
10:42a sound moderator radiation marks on the actual bullet itself yes so the likelihood is the gun that was used
10:47to kill john palmer have been adapted so that it would have the silencer you just screw on the top i would
10:54i would suspect so so with this the the the bullets would still be loaded but literally you've got to
11:00pull back the trigger mechanism each time to fire here and you you've got six shots and you fire them all
11:08and you fire three in the front three in the back with a silencer no forensics determined
11:14professional assassin possibly yes the whole scenario shows pre-planning and knowledge of firearms at least
11:23i wouldn't have expected someone to have carried this shooting out unless they were the professional
11:30so we know that the shooter managed to kill john in an area of the garden where there was no cctv
11:56and we know that used a weapon that was very quiet and we know also they've been carrying out
12:05surveillance reconnaissance on john and identified his routine so they picked the right moment to kill
12:13john palmer so it looks like a professional hit man there's not many gangs that use professional
12:24assassins we know russia mafia are one but i found no hard evidence to back this theory
12:32they've received a lead from a source in ireland about an organized crime gang in dublin with very
12:39close ties to john palmer they use professional hit men to carry out their dirty work that appears to
12:45me to be a very good lead to follow
13:02i've known about john palmer for years
13:05i certainly knew about his career and of course the timeshares in tenerife
13:10so as a crime journalist when one of the wealthiest criminals in the uk is killed
13:18you know that there is a really big story behind it
13:26i remember when i first heard that john palmer had been murdered because i was starting to make
13:33connections between palmer some of his associates and people i was writing about the biggest organized
13:40crime gang in this country the kinahan organization two family groupings from dublin who had joined
13:47together the hutch side and the kinahan side they've been described as a murderous drug dealing cartel
13:57and they migrate to spain and the costa del sol and john palmer of course had his own businesses
14:04down in the costa del sol the likes of palmer the likes of the kinahans they all know one another
14:13and they all are in business at some point together in one way or another
14:172016 there was a boxing way in in the regency hotel this feud had broken out within the kinahan organization
14:36and the leadership of the kinahan organization were going to be there
14:49and as they run out the front of the hotel members of what looks like the armed response unit start
15:10making their way into the hotel
15:11most people believed they were the police but they were actually the hutch organized crime group
15:20armed with kalashnikov rifles hunting for the head of the kinahan organized crime group
15:27i got a phone call from the photographer i was working with and he had captured an image
15:33image of what he believed was a gunman and a woman fleeing from the scene when he focused in a bit
15:41further he could see that it was a gunman and another gunman in drag
15:51it almost looks like something from a scene from reservoir dogs
15:54that was the moment that this hutch kinahan feud really exploded michael barr was shot dead last
16:04month by two gunmen who burst into the sunset house pub in the summer hill forensic specialists
16:10today examining the scene of last night's gangland murder in dublin this gang feud turned parts of
16:16this city the inner city here in dublin into an absolute war zone 18 young men dead
16:24in the aftermath of this something very unusual happened out of the blue this weird sort of anonymous
16:36twitter site appeared called the whistleblower this site was tagging journalists like myself crime
16:43journalists trying to alert you trying to get your attention and it starts giving information about
16:50cartel murders in-house murders i'm communicating with people i know high open the guards and they're
17:01telling me this is accurate it was investigated by the police here and it was discovered that this
17:09was the hutch organized crime group that was behind us and they were ready to spill the secrets of the
17:14kinnahans one of the secrets that that whistleblower site let out claims that hitman for hire working
17:28for the kinnahan cartel killed john palmer
17:48so i've come over to dublin to meet with a journalist who um has been investigating organized crime
17:59out in ireland in dublin and she has intelligence on a hitman who could be a suspect in the murder of john palmer
18:19so nicola um what happens to john palmer and how he was murdered what what what do you think i have a
18:24theory about two years after john palmer was shot a international contract
18:34killer showed up here in dublin right he was employed by the kinnahan cartel
18:41to take out one of their sworn enemies
18:48and when he flew in from alacanti he was here to kill
18:56the irish police got a tip off that there was a man on the way in to the airport
19:01and his name was imray arrakis he was known as an international hitman for hire
19:12he was wanted in a number of countries for murder
19:15ireland was in the grip of a gang feud and they knew that he had previously worked with the kinnahan
19:26organization and he was followed
19:29he was disguised as a tourist a fishing enthusiast he had a rucksack on his back he had a tent in it
19:41and as the surveillance team watched him he was picked up in a van by a known associate of the kinnahan
19:47organization he was followed back to a premises where he was due to stay the night he was arrested the
19:58following morning he found all sorts of weird stuff telescopic equipment disguises there was masks
20:09and during his arrest an encrypted blackberry mobile phone was picked up
20:27this is the printout of those messages that were sent on that encrypted phone you know it shows what
20:33he's planning to do and how he hopes to go to belfast and to stalk his prey really and who was he going
20:41after he was going after a guy called james maggot gately and this was a military style operation
20:51he wanted a gun that was accurate and he wanted a silencer those messages read them because i think
20:58they show certainly a modus operandi that he's using incredible wouldn't it i'll have to read this and
21:05see how this fits in potentially to um to john palmer's murder
21:12so i'm just um reviewing the information that uh nicola gave us yesterday in relation to the text
21:35messages that were received on the blackberry phone very detailed information between four individuals
21:46one of whom is identified as imray arrakis talking about a very sophisticated plan for a professional
21:54assassination this is interesting because obviously here you can see the people who commissioned arrakis
22:01replied to ow which is arrakis as to how to go to and identify the target which is james gately and if you
22:14go further down into the text messages you see arrakis he's now responding where can we see photos of him
22:23they say go into google write james gately dublin criminal
22:31it's the second picture in he has a black suit on it's a clear picture of him that's the target
22:45by analyzing the preparation for this hit i want to see if there are any similarities between it
22:51and the murder of palmer and see if arrakis is a possible suspect
23:04the people who commissioned arrakis tell him that the target's car exits the rear of the building from
23:12a shutter which opens up and down champagne colored toyota eventis he drives most days he seems to go to
23:22nurian back we have a tracker on his car when he is 10 minutes away get in position he parts in the same
23:33space always so then you have him
23:47arrakis replies my plan was actually to go there tomorrow
23:52it seems it's possible to take him down when he comes out of the car
24:12it is good if the gun is really accurate
24:17also silencer would be good
24:22this is the shutter this is the shutter that's described in the text messages
24:37arrakis is hiding gately comes to here in his car his events this car comes in
24:44parks up directly in front as described in the text messages
24:47literally arrakis is bang bang bang and then he's out
24:54and then once he's out he's away gate is murdered dead
25:01perfect assassination
25:02even though he didn't get to carry out the murder arrakis has identified the vulnerabilities
25:19of gately it's all the pre-planning the whole the whole setup for the murder i can't see any cctv down
25:26here ideal place to exploit and kill gately and in similar fashion to um john palmer
25:40you've got the surveillance
25:41it's no cctv no cctv the use of a silencer it feels like a professional hit
25:55so
26:02hello is that you david it is yeah albert you okay yeah yeah just a big good news here remember your
26:09task mate to look at the the arrakis as a potential suspect yeah arrakis yeah it was in the country i
26:17in the uk but more importantly in essex two weeks before the murder wow right i'll come on the way back
26:33oh how about you okay you've got some more for us haven't you well it was spoken to the same source
26:38that you know let let me just summarize what he said he's saying arrakis entered the uk
26:44in the weeks before palmer's death it's got similar fact if you look at the detail in relation to what
26:51happened in ireland silencer yeah preparation lifestyle surveillance coming into the uk into essex
26:59two weeks before the murder of john palmer
27:03he's a very very good suspect
27:07this is dynamite
27:14we've had information that a professional assassin
27:25imre arrakis had arrived in england just before the murder of john palmer
27:31i've tracked him down he's in lithuania at the moment
27:35he's standing trial he's been arrested for another murder another assassination
27:46and he's now on trial for gunning down a man outside his home
27:59a man outside his home
28:01and he's on trial for a long time

28:26Remigiju Murkevičiu aš pažinojau,
28:29galima sakyti, nuo vaikystės.
28:31Brilliant, very professional fighter,
28:35bet, in words,
28:36jis turėjo ir kitą nematomą gyvenimo pusę.
28:39Jis palaikė kontaktus
28:42su asmenimis
28:44iš organizuoto nusiklasmumo pasaulio.
28:46Very, very big figures
28:49in the drugs world.
28:51We working with cartels.
28:53Yeah.
28:56Arakas, savo aukas,
28:59labai mėgdavo stabėti iki nužudimo.
29:04Ir netgi kažkurį laiką gyveno vienami
29:07iš netolies esančių būtų.
29:11Savo nužudimams naudojo
29:14keistos modifikacijos pistoletus,
29:16galėjo būti pistoletus su duslintuvai.
29:19Ir būtent remigai
29:22keistos modifikacijos

29:28Kiek man deko girdėti
29:30iš aplinkinių žmonių pasakojimų.
29:32Remigijų Murkevičių
29:34jis tiesiog dar ėjo link žudiko.
29:37Arakas dar keletą kartų paspaudė
29:41iš Kalašnikov automato šuvio.
29:44Ir tuomet jau remigai suklūpo ir nukriton žemės.
29:49Težiausiau
29:57Arakas dar užtidetų
29:59Vė, BYPANAS
30:03Vė, Jis
30:06Arakas įvė, jis
30:09neįvėraši, kurio įvėraši.
30:10Vė,
30:13Rė,
30:14hello davius i'm david as i think you're aware i'm investigating the murder of john palmer back
30:28in 2015 but what we know so far is that arakas arrived into essex two weeks before the murder
30:36of john palmer he's obviously a professional so he gets hired by people people give him contracts
30:43to kill has he ever spoken about who has given him contracts to kill people he don't want to
30:50to talk about this okay because you know it's a very big criminal organization working with
30:57narco traffics in all europe and america and colombia and mexico and very very very serious
31:07criminal organizations and he is effectively a contract killer who works for those gangs
31:14yes but he's been traveling man right a traveling killer i think a traveling killer
31:20and we know he arrived in the uk two weeks before the murder of john palmer so it makes you wonder
31:34doesn't it whether or not he is in the UK two weeks before the murder of john palmer so it makes you wonder
31:47doesn't it whether or not he is the man who pulled the trigger
31:51doesn't it whether or not the relationship between hisửal operationsfps
32:13We know that Arakas is a really good suspect for the shooting.
32:27But Arakas is a professional hitman, and so someone employed him.
32:33So the big question is what was going on in John Palmer's life at that time
32:41that meant he had to be murdered.
32:46So we know that on the day of John Palmer's murder,
32:51he was in his lawn tractor and he was taking documents down to this area here.
32:56The only area in the house and garden where there's no CCTV.
32:59So according to Essex police, he is burning documents at the time that he's assassinated.
33:18What was he burning?
33:20What were those documents?
33:23Were those documents evidence?
33:24Could they have potentially implicated John or other people?
33:34Recently, I travelled to Tenerife and I interviewed a man called Mohamed Durba.
33:41And he told me that John was being pursued by the Spanish authorities
33:45and they were getting closer and closer to charging him.
33:48And I've seen speculation about a Spanish fraud trial in the papers,
33:53which echoes what one of my sources in Tenerife has turned up.
34:04So I'm going back out there to see what he's got.
34:06So I'm telling you, what have we got here?
34:19These are documents from the Spanish police itself
34:23about the illicit activities of John Palmer.
34:26Because the Spanish police police was already after the steps of Palmer
34:30since he had a long time.
34:31When they did the definitive coup, they decided to impute formal.
34:36This is the judicial diligence of the Juzgado Central
34:42of Instruction No. 5 in Madrid.
34:45So this is the 10th of April 2015.
34:50And when is he due to go to court?
34:52So this is the 10th of April 2015.
34:53And when is he due to go to court?
34:56This is the 10th of April 2015,
34:57This is the 10th of April 2015.
34:59And when is he due to go to court?
34:59So this is a 11th of April 2015.
35:01theäntges, this date, the diligence.
35:04It's when they were killed, Nathan, in the UN Department of BC.
35:10So this is the 10th of April 2015.
35:12This coincide, this date, the diligence,
35:16is when they killed Nathan in the UN Army, John Palmer.
35:21John Palmer. So the week that John Palmer found out that he had the court date was the week that
35:27he got murdered. So Spanish justice was catching up with John Palmer? Si.
35:44So we know on the 10th of April 2015, John Palmer is indicted with 10 others
35:51for fraud offenses, firearms offenses and money laundering in relation to the timeshare.
35:57In June, at some stage, the papers are served on the 10 defendants. So there's clearly a legal noose
36:04tightening around John's neck and the others. Palmer was 64 years old and he was looking at 15
36:12years in jail. So the question is, would he have been tempted to cut a deal to avoid prison? And if so,
36:18would someone have wanted to stop him?
36:31My name is Kevin Lane. I've previously been convicted of contract killing and I met John Palmer in Long
36:37Larton. When I first met John, John had just been sentenced for the timeshare. When I met him,
36:46when he came into Long Larton, you could see he was at the age where, God, what am I doing here in
36:51prison with all the wealth that I've got? Long Larton had a serious reputation for making weapons in
36:57there. They had a metal shop in there. People used to make their own knives or spikes. Very dangerous
37:03place. And so when was the last time you spoke to John? I spoke to him over the phone prior to his
37:10death when he lived in Essex. Just talking about the upcoming case, how he did want to go back to
37:20prison at his age. Yeah, definitely not hitting quite hard.
37:33In 2015, John Palmer was facing trial in Spain. And he was facing a really long time in prison if he
37:42was found guilty. And like, at 64 years of age, that's a death sentence.
37:54At the time, it was suspected, or he was believed, certainly, to be cooperating.
38:01That he was going to rat.
38:04So you have to look at who was on the indictment and like, what did they stand to lose?
38:14And amongst those names is John Palmer's former business associate, a man facing a sentence that
38:22could have left him locked up in a Spanish jail for up to a decade. He was floating around the Casa del
38:29Sol, along with Palmer, and got very mixed up at some point with the Kinnaghan organization.
38:35The same crew that had hired Imre Arrakis.
38:49Kevin? How do you do? How are you? David, you all right? Yeah, pleased to meet you.
38:53I think you had involvement with John. You've known him for a considerable period of time,
38:58since you were in prison. Yeah, yeah. Do you think, knowing the man, there was any potential
39:04that he would have gone to the police, spoken to the police, or given information? Do you think
39:09that's a possibility, knowing the man? Let's just be quite frank about this. Yeah.
39:15That's a possibility of anybody. Is it the truth? Doesn't mean it is. No.
39:19So I would have to say to you there, I see nothing of that in John. Um, he didn't give me any
39:25indication that he was going to do that, but then would you give indication to people you were going
39:30to do that? No. And so I'm being objective here. No, totally. Yeah. So I suppose one of the theories
39:37is that one of the people on the indictment, on the Spanish indictment that John is named on,
39:43you probably know who I'm talking about, but the man who's on that indictment is associated to the Kinnans.
39:49Do you think, knowing that individual, do you think that there is any possibility that person
39:58could have jumped to the conclusion that John was going to talk about him? I wouldn't know. Right.
40:05Do you think that person's got the capability of doing what happened to John?
40:09John. Hasn't everybody? Yeah. Everybody's got all sorts of capabilities. That's all I'm saying on that.
40:20Right. Got you. All right.
40:23Okay. So the investigation's got to three primary motives. Revenge, Mickey McAvoy,
40:47Russia, and links to the Russian mafia, and three, the Spanish indictment. Just before John Palmer is
40:57murdered, the Spanish issue an indictment, and it's really interesting. I ended up speaking to a
41:05journalist in Ireland who's very well connected and has been doing a lot of work around the Kinnahan
41:12cartel. We had a long discussion around a man called Arrakas, who is an Estonian hitman. We have
41:22information that suggests that Arrakas came into the UK just prior to John Palmer's murder, and that he
41:32is a good possibility. The man who actually pulled the trigger, who killed John Palmer. The question is,
41:39what was the motive? Who do you suspect put the money up for the hit?
41:44My gut feeling is that one of the individuals on the indictment could be the man who ordered the hit.
41:53I don't want to name him and compromise any future police investigation, but we do know that he was
41:59involved with Palmer in the early days. A very violent man, well capable of serious violence,
42:08who is a close associate of the Kinnahans, right? He was very close to John, and attentionally,
42:17the man on the indictment may have thought that John was going to implicate him and put the majority of
42:23the real grief onto this individual. So do we think John Palmer could have become an informant?
42:36Yes, I do. Because a motivator would be the 15-year crime sentence he'd want to reduce due to his age,
42:43due to his health. The Spanish indictment, you can't take away the timing. You've got to consider
42:49that that is the trigger that's motivated the assassination. I'm the same as you. You know,
42:55the Spanish indictment, so close to the modern time, is fitting the bill for me.
43:02There's a name on the indictment.
43:05Yeah.
43:05I like that magic. What evidence, isn't it? What have you got against him?
43:08Yeah. Yeah. He's got a good motive. We have a good picture of him now.
43:14So he is a good, a very good possibility.
43:18So it's been almost 10 years to the date since John Palmer was murdered. So it's quite a meaningful
43:44time for the family. So I'm going to go back and speak to the daughter and see if I can update them
43:52around what we've uncovered so far in the investigation.
44:02Hello, how are you? You OK? Not too bad, thank you. Come on in.
44:05OK. Hi.
44:06Is it here? Yeah, that would be lovely. Thank you.
44:09So it's been 10 years since your dad was killed. So as we approach the 10th anniversary,
44:19there's a renewed sense of urgency in this. The fact is that the truth is we may never know for
44:25certain who killed your dad. However, you know, we have uncovered strong new leads and they are new
44:33leads, you know, places where the police have not gone. And I think it's for the first time that I feel
44:40that we've got something solid to move forward with. What we have found potentially is evidence
44:46that the hitman, professional assassin was hired to kill your dad. That man is linked to probably the
44:57biggest drug cartel in the world, the Kinnan cartel. And the hitman involved is a man called Imre
45:05Arakas. We believe the information we've got is he travelled to the UK literally two weeks before
45:13John was killed. He has been involved in other murders. He's currently in prison in Lithuania.
45:19He's a professional hitman. So who do we think would have paid him?
45:26The motive that we think may be linked is that Dad had been told that he was going to face trial
45:34in Spain. They served the proceedings only weeks before Dad was killed. And then people around that
45:40case feared that Dad was going to talk to the authorities. And I found the name in court papers
45:48it was linked to both your dad and the Kinnan gang. If you tell me whether or not you you know this man.
46:02That's that's the name. Yeah.
46:09Without naming him, what was your knowledge of that particular man? Or is that just something you've heard?
46:14No, I know that he did used to work for my Dad. I'd heard conversations between my Dad and that person,
46:21talking quite often to him. It was said that my Dad was able to do things from prison, but in all the honest
46:31the truth of it, other people were having to run things. So he was employed by your Dad. Did you ever hear
46:39anything that would suggest that they fell out at any stage? Well, yeah, I know that he did stop working
46:44for my Dad. I think he was probably doing some things that maybe my Dad would have not
46:50wanted it done in that particular way. Right, gotcha. Our intention is to give this information
47:00in the form of a report to the police. And it's their job then to take it on. It's their job to
47:06progress it. And hopefully, you know, there may be, there may be some closure for you. Yeah.
47:12I think it's just a bit of time to process things. But it's better to have something,
47:20some information than where it was before where we didn't have any. And I hope at some point
47:28they will look into the person on the piece of paper in more depth.
47:32It's quite a lot to process. The idea of somebody close to my Dad, at some point,
47:44could then organise my Dad's murder.
47:49I spent over 40 years investigating organised crime. And John Palmer led an extraordinary life.
48:12He came from nothing to become one of the most notorious and richest criminals in UK history.
48:18But the empire that he built came at a price. And he created enemies all around the world.
48:24Our 18-month investigation has taken us from Essex to Tenerife, from Ireland to Lithuania.
48:32And it's shot a light on some of the most dangerous criminal gangs in the world.
48:40We've uncovered evidence that points towards the hitman
48:44and the person who had the motive to kill John Palmer. We're going to hand that evidence over to the police.
48:52But ultimately, someone in the criminal underworld knows exactly what happened to John Palmer.
48:58Ten years on, perhaps one of them is ready to step forward.
49:03And the murder of John Palmer will finally be solved.
49:07The murder of John Palmer...
49:07No more, the murder of John Palmer...
49:09Why don't they cop APT NICcom make any such a murder?
49:11Oh yeah!
