Investigation Launched Into How Suspected Killer Had Unregistered Weapon
An investigation has been launched in how the suspected gunman who shot dead an off-duty PC in Essex came to have an unregistered weapon and ammunition.
Ian Dibell, 41, was killed in Clacton-on-Sea on Monday. It is thought that he had intervened in a row in which another man was also shot.
The suspected gunman, 64-year-old Peter Reeve, was later found dead with a handgun in a churchyard at Writtle, near Chelmsford.
Police are also investigating how Mr Reeve got from Clacton to Writtle, whose body was found outside All Saints Church, about 40 miles from the murder scene. He had suffered a head wound.
"This continues to be a live murder investigation being led by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate," an Essex Police spokesman said.
"Detectives are now interviewing witnesses and gathering information regarding the full circumstances leading to the death of police officer Ian Dibell and deceased murder suspect Peter Reeve.
"A file will now be produced for the Essex Coroner ahead of an inquest."
