Re: Essex Boys - The Triple Rettendon Murders
Clever cunt. I did know of them, I'm from Essex originally. Pat Tate came in to a snooker club that my friend was in at the time and picked up a cue and hit somebody over the head with it so hard it almost dislodged one of his eyes. He was a horrible piece of work and his friends weren't much better... |

Re: Essex Boys - The Triple Rettendon Murders
Wait... why weren't any of the windows shot out or was someone inside with them and shot them all close range? Like how did this happen?  |

Re: Essex Boys - The Triple Rettendon Murders
The Rettendon murders (also known as the Range Rover murders or Essex murders) occurred on 6 December 1995 in the village of Rettendon in Essex, England, when three drug dealers were shot dead in a Range Rover down a small farm track. On 6 December 1995, Rettendon was the scene of the triple murder of Tony Tucker (38), Patrick Tate (37) and Craig Rolfe (26), three drug dealers shot dead in a Range Rover down a small farm track. On December 6, 1995, three members of a gang now known as the Essex Boys were lured to a deserted farm track near Rettendon, England on the pretense of planning a robbery. As the trio sat in their Range Rover, two gunmen approached the open rear door of the vehicle. Moments later the first shot rang out. Then another. Then another. When the weapons fell silent and the gun smoke cleared, the three men were dead. The murders of Pat Tate, Tony Tucker, and Craig Rolfe shocked a lot of people, but they impressed a whole lot more. They were failed drug dealers and low life bullies. The night they died, they'd been coaxed into a meeting by three men they'd previously threatened to kill. They believed they were being shown a field were a light aircraft filled with cocaine was going to land. The trio had planned to rob the cargo, but the whole thing turned out to be a baited hook. As the Range Rover pulled up, the gunman shot Rolfe in the back of the head. The gunman fired at Tucker, punching a 6.5 cm hole in his lower jaw. Tate was in the back seat. The gunman finished off Tucker, then Rolfe, and then turned to his accomplice and invited him to shoot Tate. Walking around the back of the vehicle, the second gunman aimed the shotgun at Tate, who was by now curled up in the fetal position and made no attempt to defend himself. They shot him in the chest rather than the head. He'd been the catalyst of all the trouble that had been caused and so it was deemed essential that he should watch the murder of his friends before he was executed. Their bodies were discovered by a farmer the next morning. Craig was seated in the drivers seat. The first gunshot was to the right side of his head, behind his ear and exiting out between his eyes. He did not die immediately as their was evidence of inhaled blood in the base of his lungs. He was finished off with a shot to the neck. .  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Essex Boys - The Triple Rettendon Murders
The best information is on a docu film called The Final Truth. Jack Whomes, has publicly stated that Carlton Leach didn't know anyone and had fuck all to do with it. Steele led them down the lane, got out to "unlock the gate", John shot front two from open rear door - the door was left open by Steele so those inside wouldn't see shooter no. 2. Best info to date.
