John Luper

John Luper was attacked outside his home at about 11.30pm on 17 February 2004, while walking his dog and then taken back to his home where he was robbed and murdered.

Police believe he was attacked by a group of four or five masked people, possibly including a woman, whilst he was out walking his dog. They took him back to his house where he and several other people were tied up. John Luper was tied up in a utility room to a chair and left to die after they took over £100k in jewellery and £1k in cash. They also stole a distinctive Cartier watch of which only four were sold in the country around that time. His wife, daughter and au-pair were also all tied up with duct-tape in upstairs rooms.
