Help us to find our son’s killer

Apr 1 2009 by Ben Rossington, Wallasey News

A FAMILY has appealed for help to catch the killer of a Wirral father-of-one gunned down in front of his young son six years ago.

Peter Singleton, 26, was murdered by a masked gunman who chased him through gardens near his Wirral home before shooting him point blank three times in the head.

The car dealer was standing with his girlfriend and his then-three-year-old son on Column Road, West Kirby, about to take a trip to Liverpool to see his mum when the killer opened fire.

Peter died later that night in Arrowe Park hospital.

Now his younger sister Gina, 28, has said they can’t move on while the killer is still on the loose.

Gina said: “It’s six years on but nothing has changed for us. Because we don’t know why or who has done this, we can’t move on.”

Peter’s son, Connor, now eight, visits his dad’s grave regularly.

Murder detectives have now renewed their appeals.

They are still hunting two men seen leaving the area in a white Vauxhall Astra van.

The van was on false registration plates reading KP52 XGD. The plates had a green band around the edge of the plate face, made and sold to traders across the UK by one company – Signam Ltd, in Warwick.

Police want to find any trader who used Signam plates around the time of the killing.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
