Rolls-Royce Designer's Suspected Killer Held in France

The prime suspect in the fatal stabbing of a British Rolls-Royce designer in Germany last week has been apprehended in France after an international manhunt.

Ian Cameron, 74, was discovered dead at his £3 million mansion on Lake Ammersee in Upper Bavaria on Friday evening, July 12.

The Serbian suspect was seen hours before Cameron's murder in a shop less than a mile away, dressed in a grey T-shirt and blue jeans. 

He later fled to France from Germany before his apprehension.

CCTV footage from the crime scene later revealed an unidentified male dressed in a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, light-coloured slacks, gloves, and a dark red rucksack.

Investigators searching the surrounding area after Cameron was found dead discovered the backpack containing both sets of clothes, suggesting the assailant had changed his outfit a second time after the crime to avoid arrest.

Police now believe the killer rang the doorbell to Mr Cameron's home in Herrsching and attacked him when he opened the door, forcing his wife Veronika Kloos, also a former designer at BMW to flee to safety.

Suspicions were raised that the designer was deliberately targeted when it emerged the cables to CCTV cameras over the garages where his high-value vehicles were kept had been cut.

Some 30 officers were deployed to hunt for the attacker after Cameron's neighbours provided a description of the perpetrator that appeared in the security camera footage.
