Family pay tribute to Ludgershall man as murder investigation continues
Graham Pennycook's body was found in woods last week
The family of the man who died in Ludgershall just west of Andover last week have paid tribute to his life.
Graham Pennycook, 64, was found deceased in woods near to the polo field, close to Perham Down, on Thursday afternoon (24/9).
His death was initially treated as unexplained, however, following information emanating from the initial post mortem, we are now treating this death as suspicious and a murder investigation is ongoing.
Kind
In a tribute, Graham’s wife Jacky said:
“Graham was a husband, brother, uncle, friend and, as a Royal Engineer, a brother in arms for over 32 years.
“With his cheeky grin, no room was ever empty or quiet when Graham was in it. He enriched the lives of everyone he met. Solid and dependable, he was a pillar of strength, trusted by all and always on hand to help family and friends whenever needed.
“Kind and generous, but also principled, he would question the things he thought needed to be addressed in a conscientious manner.
“He had many loves and interests, but family and friends were always his priority.
“Renowned for the number of different cars he owned as well as a love of watches, and no day out was complete without an ice cream.
“He is missed by us all.
“Please respect our privacy at this time.”
Witnesses
Police are continuing to urge anyone who may have been in the area of the polo field and surrounding woodland on Thursday September 24 between 9am and 6pm, more specifically between 10am and 11am, who may have noticed something out of the ordinary to get in touch.
