Alan Holmes

About this episode

The episode discusses the brutal murder of Alan Holmes in Camden Town in 1995.

"It was a brutal killing, a terrible way to die. The killer was cold and ruthless. He gave no consideration to Alan when he tied him up and stole his cards." 53-year-old Alan Holmes was living a quiet life in the winter of 1995. A longtime resident of Camden Town, Alan was unmarried and had no children. He had spent nearly two decades working as a garage hand at Kentish Town Police Station, where he was widely regarded as a gentle giant who was beloved but very quiet. He normally kept to himself. That Christmas, a longtime friend invited Alan over to her family's house for Christmas. He accepted, and spent that evening with her and her family. She'd later drop him off back at his flat in Camden, which sat above an empty shop. That would sadly be the last time any of his friends or family would see him alive...
