A CAMERA may hold clues to the killing of a 24-year-old man in Acton three years ago.

And this week police are re–issuing appeals for information surrounding his death.

The body of Albert Lutterodt was discovered by police after they were called to a shooting on June 19, 2000, at a flat in Barrie House, Park Road North.

Operation Trident officers, who are investigating the murder, believe that clues may lie in a disposable camera belonging to the victim.

Mr Lutterodt, who was known as 'Abbs', was carrying a disposable camera on an organised bus trip from the South Acton Estate to Alton Towers on June 10 – nine days before he was killed by a single gunshot wound to the head.

Police believe Mr Lutterodt had a disagreement with some people on the bus and are appealing for anyone with information, particularly about the camera, to come forward.

In September 2000, police offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person, or persons responsible, for Mr Lutterodt's death.

In particular, detectives are appealing to people who would not ordinarily contact police to come forward.

DCI Julian Headon, from Operation Trident, told the Times: "This is still very much a live investigation. We are intent on bringing the person or persons responsible to justice."

He added: "We are aware that while Albert was a popular and good family man, he also dabbled in low level supply of cannabis.

"It may well be the reason for his murder. We want to appeal to people who would have known the individuals in this circle who may be able to provide further information about the murder."
