The Essex Boys Murders | The Gun Club

On December 6, 1995, Craig Rolfe, Tony Tucker and Pat Tate were murdered inside a Range Rover on a quiet country lane in Rettendon Essex. All three of them were "blasted" by a shotgun from close range, lying blood-covered and slumped in the vehicle until they were discovered by two local farmers the next morning. The victims were known to be part of the 'Essex Boys' drug gang, and numerous theories formed surrounding how they came to be shot eight times in a peaceful Essex village.
