Reward for jewellery stolen in fatal shooting

A REWARD of £10,000 has been offered for information leading to the recovery of jewellery stolen during the alleged murder of businessman Guy Hedger at a raid on his home in April.

Investigators are also urgently searching for the gun used in the Dorset robbery. Mr Hedger, 61, was killed when he was shot after intruders entered the home he shared with his husband, Simon-pierre Hedger-cooper.

Kevin Downton, 40, from Winterborne Stickland near Blandford, Jason Baccus, 41, and Scott Keeping, 44, both from Bournemouth, are all charged with murder and are due to appear in court on Wednesday.

Mr Hedger-cooper said the items included “our diamond wedding rings, an emerald and diamond ring, a diamond Cartier watch and a black onyx ring, which was given to me by my mother”.
