Death of Huddersfield supercar dealer

[MRPULLHARD]

it seems a dealer with an interesting background was murdered by police in last few days , it seems that drugs money was being laundered through business. Anyone know what ' dealership ' he ran ?

Murdered? really?

I think the OP offers a loaded statement. Probable/very likely major drug dealer, not a super car dealer. Murdered by the police? Hmm...

Waste of bandwidth.

[Yipper]

Won't name the company, of course, but the same name of a well-known / notorious supercar dealer in that area is being mentioned often across the Twittersphere and elsewhere if you search hard enough.

How can anyone say he was a drug dealer when he has never been convicted? Pure assumption and accusation. The Lamborghini he is stood in front of is a hire car, all the other cars could well be hire cars aswell.

He was obviously not the most well behaved of individuals and he must of provoked the police to fire. I don't care what anyone says he had a firearm on him and had history.

Why on earth did he have a firearm on him?

[h4rvs87]

Wasn't the firearm only found after he was shot? Obviously not condoning carrying an unlicensed weapon(and by virtue of carrying it does seem dodgy), but seems that wasn't the cause of the shooting.

Lucky it wasn't further South, otherwise we might have had a few riots to cope with as well!

Such individuals live by the sword, and so the old adage applies!

hehe, oh no, I got your comment all right. It amuses me that there's an outpouring of grief when armed men end up on the wrong side of a bullet. My point being: murdered? I'd say they've done us all a favour!

He wasn't a super car dealer by any stretch of the imagination- might have owned/and sold on a super car or two but was not a professional super car dealer with a active business or dealership or any sort.

The car pictured he was posing with was a hire car in any case.

Of course it's sad that someone has lost their life regardless of their background (perhaps it could have been avoided?), but if you have a gun in your car (which he did) you are always taking a significant risk of being shot if it is reported and you are confronted by armed police.

The fact he had a gun in his car, whatever the circumstances, is a very strong indication he was a criminal- let's not pretend legitimate businessmen drive around with guns under the passenger seat.
