:00:32. > :00:35.Hello, and welcome back. We've had lots of very good calls which we'll

:00:35. > :00:38.update you on in just a moment, but first lets remind ourselves of that

:00:38. > :00:48.terrifying armed raid at the home of 52-year-old Noel Martin in

:00:48. > :00:57.

:00:58. > :01:01.Tie her up. Where's the money? They knews I was paralysed because

:01:01. > :01:06.they didn't take any care at all to think, well, I could have just

:01:06. > :01:12.jumped out of the bed. At the end of the day, it makes me

:01:12. > :01:17.angry because I can't get up to do something about it.

:01:17. > :01:22.Well, DC Ian Tomlinson from West Midlands Police joins us. How have

:01:22. > :01:26.the calls been? Some really interesting calls been put forward,

:01:26. > :01:32.particularly some names put forward from the CCTV and other names from

:01:32. > :01:36.what people have heard from the fencingings. There were some

:01:36. > :01:41.interesting things taken. Give us brief descriptions. Yes, the

:01:41. > :01:44.Ingersoll men's watch. I need more calls, particularly about Noel's

:01:44. > :01:48.wife's engagement ring. This is the ring he wore around his neck when

:01:48. > :01:52.he was up and about. Tell us about the level of threat here because

:01:52. > :01:55.that's the really shocking thing. Yes, absolutely. We've got three

:01:55. > :02:00.offenders who think it's perfectly acceptable to rob a paralysed man

:02:00. > :02:02.at gunpoint in his own home. I need to find out who these people are.

:02:02. > :02:05.That was a targeted attack. Over to you.

:02:05. > :02:15.Next, the murder of 72-year-old Bertie Acheson in Coleraine in

:02:15. > :02:16.

:02:16. > :02:22.Northern Ireland just one month ago. Did you hear that? Stay here.

:02:22. > :02:28.want the money now! Help, please! If you don't give me the money, I

:02:28. > :02:34.am going to kill your husband. I want your purse.

:02:34. > :02:40.I'd like to tell them what a wonderful man my father was and how

:02:40. > :02:45.he so cruelly ended his life. Ian Harrison is in charge of this

:02:45. > :02:52.one. What's come in? I have received some information, but I am

:02:52. > :02:57.still waitinging for the key call - Glengorm Avenue and the lane at the

:02:57. > :03:01.side of his house. Where is the purse also? Someone out there knows

:03:01. > :03:05.who did this. They do. I believe that's the case. I have seen the

:03:05. > :03:09.devastation in this family. Their whole life has imploded. There is a

:03:09. > :03:12.huge gap now. They deserve answers. They need to know who did this. If

:03:12. > :03:15.you have information, pick up the phone tonight. Don't wait for

:03:15. > :03:21.somebody else to make the call. Good luck with that one. Please, if

:03:21. > :03:27.you know anything, do call in. Martin? Remember that last CCTV we

:03:27. > :03:31.showed you of an assault on a child in a supermarket in Harrow - that's

:03:31. > :03:34.prompted over a dozen calls providing excellent information,

:03:34. > :03:41.including several callers calling in with the same information. That

:03:41. > :03:46.is vital. Remember, that very casual robbery in Withenshaw, the

:03:46. > :03:50.man nursing his cup of coffee. The same name keeps cropping up, as it

:03:50. > :03:57.does for the snap of the necklace in Sidcup. We have a potential name

:03:57. > :04:05.for one suspect. We'd like to know the other. Keep the calls coming in.

:04:06. > :04:08.Kirsty. Another reminder now - of our re-appeal to catch the killers

:04:08. > :04:18.of 31-year-old Tracy Mertens. She was the victim of a particularly

:04:18. > :04:19.

:04:19. > :04:26.horrific murder in Cheshire in 1994. Please! Aah!

:04:26. > :04:30.Just unbelievable. I can still feel that pain now from that day.

:04:30. > :04:40.She deserves to be at rest because I don't think she ever will be

:04:40. > :04:42.

:04:42. > :04:47.until these people are caught. Well, DS Steve Currie from Cheshire

:04:47. > :04:51.Police is with me. You had an initial appeal in 2009. How have

:04:51. > :04:54.the calls come this time? We have had some good responses, but sadly,

:04:54. > :04:58.our vital witness hasn't come forward yet. Again, a lot of our

:04:58. > :05:01.callers are giving us named suspects with anonymous information.

:05:01. > :05:05.I can't use anonymous information. I need at least a phone number.

:05:05. > :05:09.can guarantee if people call in tonight, then they can talk to you

:05:09. > :05:12.or one of your team, and you can guarantee that'll be a one-to-one

:05:12. > :05:17.response, and you can talk them through the process. I want to ask

:05:17. > :05:23.you particularly about a witness you want to trace. Briefly, who was

:05:23. > :05:28.this? The chap in the Grove in 1994. He saw Tracy Mertens, saw her being

:05:28. > :05:36.bundled into the car he's described other witnesses being a guy in his

:05:36. > :05:40.35 to 45 age bracket, 5'7", stocky, grey, thinning hair, blue trousers.

:05:40. > :05:44.Thank you very much. The calls coming in thick and fast

:05:44. > :05:47.on our rogue's gallery starting with Angela Owen. Please bear in

:05:47. > :05:51.mind she does operate under various alias, but good information coming

:05:51. > :05:56.in on this woman who is wanted in connection for fraud and with the

:05:56. > :06:00.death of a child, giving us potential locations. Moving on to

:06:00. > :06:03.face number six, Martin John Bond. Sightings of him in the West

:06:03. > :06:07.Midlands area. He's wanted for serious assaults. Our last man

:06:07. > :06:11.Wayne Tidy - we have calls on him, bringing him down to a particular

:06:11. > :06:14.area we know he frequents. OK. That's it.

:06:14. > :06:20.That's all we've got time for, but remember, details of all of
