COPS are hunting for two men seen acting suspiciously near the woods where the body of a royal engineer was found.
Graham Pennycook, 64, set off with his dog on a route he knew well near a polo field close to Perham Down, Wiltshire, on September 24.
But he never returned home, and his body was found later that day, with detectives saying they believe that he was assaulted while in the woodland.
A murder investigation was launched, with cops carrying out extensive searches and forensic enquiries at the scene.
Now, four weeks on, detectives are urging anyone who saw two men behaving suspiciously in the area to come forward.
They are particularly keen to hear from witnesses who were near the woods or polo field between 9am and 6pm on the day Graham was killed.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Walker said he was especially interested in sightings between 10am and 11am.
He said: “We are now four weeks on from Graham’s murder but our commitment to establishing exactly what happened to him and who is responsible remains absolute and our investigation continues.
“I am really keen to hear from anyone who witnessed two males that looked out of place, or were acting suspiciously, in the woods on the morning of the 24th September, especially between 10am and 11am.”
Cops also want to hear from anyone who recognised the men or saw vehicles being driven erratically or parked in unusual places.
DCI Walker said the area was popular with dog walkers, cyclists and people exercising.
He is urging anyone who had been there that day to contact the force.
He added: “I am grateful for the engagement and support from the community but I believe there are people who were in, or close to, Perham Down that have not yet come forward and I would urge you to engage with our investigation.
“If you know who is responsible, you can help us seek justice for Graham’s murder.”
