Ian John McLoughlin murdered Brighton bar man Peter Hall in 1990 and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Peter was well know on the Brighton gay scene at the time.
McLoughlin who also goes under the name of Ian John Roberts is being sought by Hertfordshire Police in connection with the murder of a 60 year old man in Hertfordshire on Saturday.
Graham Buck was killed after going to the aid of his neighbour Francis Cory-Wright who was being attacked in his home in little Gaddeston in Hertforshire on Saturday July 13 around 3.30pm.
Mr Cory-Wight who had been serving a sentence for a sexual assault on a ten year old boy in the 70s is thought to have served his prison sentence in the same prison as McLoughlin who was out on release.
DCI Martin Brunning from Hertfordshire Police, said:
“These are initial stages of the investigation, however we urgently want to speak to Ian McLoughlin in connection with this offence.
“We also believe that he is in possession of a large amount of £50 and £20 notes which he may be using to pay for purchases. It is a substantial amount which he could be trying to conceal.
“The nature of this murder investigation is one of significant violence and until he is caught the public are asked not to approach him as he is a very dangerous man. Please contact the police immediately on the 999 emergency number.
Chief Superintendent Steve Barry, from Sussex Police, said:
“There is no specific information to suggest he is in Sussex, but we would ask anyone who spots him or knows of his whereabouts to dial 999 immediately.
“Do not approach him, he is a very dangerous man.”
Hertfordshire Police confirmed McLoughlin was last seen wearing sunglasses, blue jeans or three-quarter-length trousers and a blue-and-white checked short-sleeved shirt.
