Article in The Daily Mail this morning.
A notorious martial arts fighter is suspected of being one of the masterminds behind the £53 million Securitas heist, it emerged last night.
Detectives think 'Lightning' Murray may have been in charge of the logistics and planning of Britains biggest cash robbery last month.
The Daily Mail can reveal police several a couple of weeks ago.
Mr Murray made headlines last september when he was stabbed outside a London nightclub popular with celebrities.
The father of two nearly died after he and two friends were ambushed by a gang as they left The Funky Buddah in Mayfair.
The club was hosting a birthday party for page 3 girl Lauren Pope.
Mr Murray, a star in the sport of cage fighting - an ultra-violent combination of kick boxing and wrestling where two contestants spar in a cage - was the most seriously injured of the three.
At one stage it was feared he would die, but his high fitness levels helped him recover.
Now police suspect that Mr Murray, of sidcup, kent, might have been one of the main organisers behind the robbery in Tonbridge.
It is understood officers have recieved 'credible intelligence' suggesting he may be linked to the audacious crime. Over the past fortnight they have been trying to track him down. It is thought he initially fled the continent but may have returned to Britain.
Up to 16 people are thought to have been part of the heist gang. The ringleaders are thought to have funded the robbery by stealing drugs from major dealers.
According to informed sources, five gang members fled to South Africa by boat - and may still be at sea.
A number of other suspects are though to have left the country in a chartered plane. More than £2million is thought to have been spent on getting away.
Mr Murray is the British No1 of middleweight cagefighters and is amoung the top five in the world. He has appeared regularly on satellite television.
His Biography says he grew up in an orphanage and has had up to 300 to 400 'street fights' since he was a child
Earlier this week Mr Murray's mother, Barbara refused to open the door when approached by the Daily Mail at her home in Thamsmead, South East London.
Before being asked, Mr Murray's partner said 'The police have not been round'.
The family directed all enquiries to their solicitor, Derek Parker, who said 'there were alot of false rumours about Lee'. Last week detectives said they were increasingly convinced that the February heist was carried out with inside information.
They said it had been planned for 'many months' but think that some of the robbers may have been captured in CCTV fleeing abroad. So far officers have recovered around £2million. Detectives remain worried that the gang, who abducted depot manager Colin Dixon and his family, were able to carry out the raid without any member of staff being able to raise the alarm.
All 14 depot staff were tied up during the raid and police were only called an hour after the raiders had fled with the cash.
So far, four men and a woman have appeared in court in connection to the raid.
Adrian Leppard, Assistant Chief Constable of Kent, said officers were looking at a number of suspects who have not been arrested.
He said 'We have got a fairly wide inquiry basis at the moment that looks at a range of people in a range of areas, a lot of them in this country but not all.'
Zijn toch nog redelijk wat mensen die twijfelen. Weet iemand meer hierover?
