Mother of murder victim Alan Wood makes fresh appeal for closure before she 'leaves this world'

The mother of a man who was brutally murdered in a village outside Bourne is making a fresh appeal for information as the 10th anniversary approaches.

Maureen Wood says she does not want to leave this world without knowing who killed her son Alan, who was found dead at his home in Edenham Road, Lound on October 24, 2009.

Alan (50) had been brutally tortured and murdered but the people responsible have never been found.

His mother, Maureen Wood said: “I have tried to get on with my life but the last 10 years have been really difficult, losing such a loved son and not knowing why it happened or who was responsible.

“There is not a day that goes by without me thinking of Alan and why someone would have done this to such an innocent man. I don’t want to go to my grave without knowing why it happened.

“I appreciate that people have heard this before, but if there is anyone out there who has any information that can help the police identify the murderer and in doing so provide me with some closure before I have to leave this world, then please, please get in touch with the police.”

Alan, who had worked in Sainsbury's in Bourne, was last seen alive on October 21, 2009, when he called for a drink at his local, The Willoughby Arms in Little Bytham.

Alan’s sister, Sylvia Allet says:“I don’t think we will ever come to terms with what happened or why Alan was targeted in such a way. He was a genuine good guy and although he did not have a great deal of money or valuables, if someone was so desperate for help he would have given them what he had. There was no reason for him to have been treated as he was.”
