Last updated 8th Oct 2026
Two weeks on from the death of a man in Ludgershall, police have issued a renewed appeal information.
Graham Pennycook, 64, was out walking his dog on Thursday 24th September in woods near the polo field, close to Perham Down but failed to return home.
He was found dead in the woods later that day and police launched a murder investigation.
Detectives say they "strongly believe" Graham was assaulted whilst in the woods.
No arrests have been made but police say they are working at pace to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
A crime scene is expected to remain in place through the weekend.
Detectives are asking anyone in the area that day, especially between 10 am and 11 am, to share any information.
They are particularly interested in dashcam or CCTV footage, or if anyone saw any suspicious activity particularly somebody that had new unexplained injuries, changed their plans, or disposed of their clothing.
Det Chief Insp Phil Walker, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “Two weeks ago today, Graham was out walking a familiar route to him, with his dog, but tragically he never returned home and was found deceased in woodland.
“Our team of officers have been working tirelessly over the past two weeks to establish the circumstances surrounding Graham’s death. Due to the nature of Graham’s injuries which came to light as a result of the forensic post mortem, we strongly believe that he was assaulted within the woodland near to the polo ground.
“Graham’s family are being supported by specialist family liaison officers and our thoughts remain with them at this difficult time.
“We are urging members of the public to think back to the day in question – did you see anything which could assist our enquiries? Every piece of information, regardless of how small or insignificant it may seem to you, could be crucial to our investigation and finding out exactly what happened to Graham. So please, get in touch immediately if you can help.”
Anyone with information or concerns is being asked by officers to visit the force's mobile police station which will be based in Wellington Eagles Primary School between 2.30pm and 4.30pm today (8/10).
