Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses who saw two men acting suspiciously near Perham Down woods on the day Graham Pennycook, 64, was killed.
Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses to the murder of Graham Pennycook, 64, who was found dead in woods near Perham Down polo field after going out to walk his dog on 24 September. Following a post-mortem examination, police launched a murder investigation and cordoned off the scene while carrying out extensive searches and forensic enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Walker said the force was 'really keen' to hear from anyone who witnessed two males that looked out of place or were acting suspiciously in the woods on the morning of 24 September, particularly between 10am and 11am. He asked whether anyone had seen such people before or in the area previously.
Police are also seeking information about vehicles seen in the area on the day, particularly any being driven erratically or appearing to be somewhere unusual. DCI Walker noted that Perham Down is a popular place for dog walking, cycling and other forms of exercise.
Four weeks on from the murder, DCI Walker said the force's commitment to establishing what happened and identifying those responsible 'remains absolute' and the investigation continues.
