The Essex Boys Murders "THEY HAD TO GO!"

- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- On December 6, 1995, Craig Rolfe, Tony Tucker and Pat Tate were murdered inside a Range Rover on a quiet country lane in Rettendon Essex.
All three of them were "blasted" by a shotgun from close range, lying blood-covered and slumped in the vehicle until they were discovered by two local farmers the next morning.
The victims were known to be part of the 'Essex Boys' drug gang, and numerous theories formed surrounding how they came to be shot eight times in a peaceful Essex village.

Great video CS2CR 🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 as always another interesting instalment off the Essex boys top man thanks
Watched the 6 hour marathon off and on half asleep. Great channel brother.
Same here hahaha drifting in and out of a stoner coma
Rewriting history!!!!wouldb have believed cs2cr would have solved this crime by now
@@Liam-qx3dc why don't you solve it then Columbo
The farmer and his pal shot them on the Wednesday evening, they were blocking the lane and got a bit lippy when he asked them to move.
Haha! Brilliant.
lol, u cracked the case!
No mate ,these guys where done professionally
@@harryharry8122 I was joking mate, the farmer did own a shooting range though!.
@@BigGaz130 brilliant mate,you got me there
Love your content bud. This is just a mere suggestion but I’d love to see a short summary maybe 15 mins long of a skim walk through of your opinion of what happened that night. What love to see something like this. U must have a strong opinion on who did it, with all your work you have put in aha
I agree ☝️💯
Go search for it then would love to see people stop complaining.
You can only throw your weight around like they did for so long until you piss off someone, which they obviously did multiple times, who isn't afraid of you then you're in trouble.
These morons think EVERYONE is scared of em . They never came across real gangsters because they’d have knew .
They were took out by SERIOUS MEN with ice runnngbthrough their veins ❤❤
@@RoyChadwick51 you got to remember they were running the show big style and very quickly,I knew Patrick for 20 years and by the end he was out of control I will agree,but to use a gun is the chickens way out,they were to scared to face them
@@rambo235 I agree - (I'm not from Europe), years ago a thug friend of mine, a bully I guess, was selling gutter drugs in the South Island. As is often the case some dude ended up in debt and was avoiding him. He (my mate) was telling people he was looking for him, had they seen him, he's gonna get it when..... and all that. Dude got scared, turned up waving a shot gun, practically crying, pointing it at him, just so happened a rather well respected guy and his wife were there and talked him into putting the gun down. Another thug I knew of, was threatening a dude on the phone for selling his girlfriend morphine or some crap like that, the dealer dude got scared, shot him (the thug) dead in the back (from behind) and burnt his body on a cord and a half of firewood!! Point being, when people are threatened and scared they get desperate and feel there's only one way out, (more likely) someone feeling threatened, someone in that position, rather than "James Bond" "Scarface" or "MI6"!!
Evil monsters the lot of them the world is a better place without them, Live by the sword you will perish by the sword ⚔️
I always welcome every video you show bruv. 👍
I’m a new subscriber,your content is very interesting
From possession with intent to supply for Darren to being charged with involvement in the murders. I would love to know what they had on him before he turned super grass
He was the main drug dealer that turned on a few
Snap that's the question I always ask why did they give him so much rope? DN is the type who will turn up again. Maybe when he's sick or dieing he'll make a true statement, maybe write a book. Eire32
The intro music is quality mate, great content!
Another interesting video 🙏🏻. Do you roughly know when the photo at 44:00 was taken?
Few years ago
@@EssexTrueCrime I just wondered if the photo was from 95 due to the tyre marks and footprints etc. It would be nice to see other photos of workhouse lane over the years but they seem hard to come by
Cheers for the video cstcr 👍👍
You mentioned in another video a similar way of dispatching of that couple had happened before in the woods. A method that works by employed hitmen
Surely if mick and Jack did commit these murders.... Surely they would of got rid of DN in the same way.... to tie up all loose ends....
Exactly, they would of known he was a liability, and no way would they of waited for him to sing like the veritable canary he is.
Whomes had connections to east London firm, TTR were running wild and being too 'loud' with their activities. Firm put heavy pressure on Steele and whomes to get them down the lane where the firm had a gunman waiting. Neither Steele or whomes pulled the trigger but were heavily involved in setting the 3 up hence they denied murder but phone records put them in the area. Police needed to put it on someone so they nicked DN and told him what to say in exchange for a new life and protection
Phone mast were few in 95 mobiles were new. Those phone mast covered a wide radius. So they didn’t have to be in the area for their phone to connect to that mast. That was proven in court for defence. They also proved Whomes couldn’t have phoned Nichols from the scene as it’s in a valley and not always easy to get a signal. Maybe that’s why Tucker and Tate weren’t returning calls that night.
Thanks for the video great job 👍
I’ve often wondered what the man is marking at 11:58 at entrance to lane, I remember seeing some tire tracks at entrance is that it?
Another belter mate 👌
The best in the business
Lol that thumbnail pic had me in stitches ! 😆
thanks cstc hope you are keeping warm and keeping well, love from cornwall as always
It's not out of the ordinary for drug dealers not to tell there partners details of things, as far as I'm concerned whatever they don't know they can't say in court or to the police
All shot in the face aswell so can’t have an open coffin. That mafia type stuff. They pissed someone off real bad they wernt messing
Yes a hour long!!👍
Cheers mate.
Where is the blood in that range rover? 3 men getting shot at close range especially in the head would cause blood, brains and skin and hair to be splattered everywhere. The inside of that truck should be red.
Does anyone actually care that they are dead? I don't
How do we know they were unarmed? The killers may have taken the firearms away after the shooting? Any thoughts on this? Ie could have been in a bag or the boot.
Good shout mate
I can't see why they would bother. Too much risk of leaving forensic evidence, no need to do so.
They had to go! billies words! He is no longer with us. So i ask could billy have arranged this? whos turf were they on? I knew billy and i realy would like to think he sorted it! But i dont know. I remember lots of old friends from the farm,and i am old now.So could billy have arranged this.My thought Yes easily. Set them up? no problem. canditates to do the job, Lots of them,Its not like it was murder realy.More like getting rid of bad apples.
If we can dismiss Darren Nicholls story so easily, then that's the only reason the 2 got done, there was loads of people who wanted them dead, only days before tate was warned about trouble with tucker and if he's with him then he'll get it to, I'd this was true then the people after tucker wasn't anything to do with Steel and Whomes,
Brundels
@@harryharry8122 that's them, it's well known what they said in their interviews about this case, weather its all true I don't know, why would you go on TV, and say things? Is it true or was it someone's way of getting attention?, I seem to believe what they said but you never know?
If a London gang were funding the cocaine coming in by plane. And these three were going to rip it off. And take some to Bowman to cut it what if he realised it was peoples gear he was friendly with. And he’d given them a machine gun to use on the courier. Could he have tipped off his friends or could he have got so mad at them for involving him ?. Or could it have been a cartel of villains who got together and said let’s fake them out. If Steele and Whomes were the lure then who ever took them out would have had to make it worth their while if they got a capture. Or could it have been Nichols in the Range Rover and the two bent cops waiting to take them out. Could he have phoned Whomes to pick up a broken down car at the wheatsheaf pub telling Whomes to call him when he got there in order to put his phone in the vicinity ?. Was Steele and Whomes set up to take the fall. Remember the two officers and Nichols wasn’t under surveillance at the time the murder was committed. So it could have been them perhaps heavy villains knew of their scam and threatened to expose them if they didn’t do what they wanted. Telling Nichols to put himself there as the getaway driver but not admitting to knowing that the three were going to be taken out. That he thought it was a drugs deal only.

Hi Darren.
That interview was BB putting distance between himself and what went down.
BB was a top level crim and there NO WAY Tate would have said to him.."if a hit happens,it happens".
BB was a very very clever,cunning,
ruthless hood.
Hope you get now why he came on interview to say how he tried to warn his..."pal" to be careful!
BTW,on the night of the hit guess where BB was?...
On "holiday",miles away!
wonder what time donna found out waiting for snow to clear
Keep them coming buddy godbless
Considering what they were up to Rolf was very loose lipped to his girlfriend. At first she named another Mick and then changed her mind to Mick the pilot yet Tate girlfriend was under the impression they were meeting the other Micky. So did Rolfs girlfriend change her mind voluntary or was she persuaded to ?. Coupled with Darren Nichols 28 statements until he perfected the perfect statement. Even saying he pulled out of the lane forcing a driver to stop. That driver gave a statement saying ford transit come out forcing him to brake in those conditions. Only one man in the van. So if Darren Nicholas says it was him pulling out after picking Steele and Whomes up the driver would have seen three men in the car. I’m sure he knows a transit van from a car. .Darren Nichols statements seem to include other witnesses statements from that night. Now was he prompted to say this or did he see these accounts in various papers. I don’t believe this was Steele and Whomes both men deny it was them to this day even after all these years .
Ford escort van not transit.
I have always thought that Saunders knew what was going to happen.
In the thumbnail is cheeky pat trying to get something out of that little pocket in his jeans ❤❤❤❤
The farmer shot them he caught them fishing on his land without a fishing license lol
I heard it was police
Wasn't Mad Dog Tannen implicated somehow? Emmet brown said that in an interview with Marty McFly.
All the evidence goes to one person,,still can't name him, I live miles away but the hit was ordered, nippàs dad,pills with coppers kid, poor sod dumped in a lane, he was scared of needles, £300 grand to pat Clarke, your not looking at living for ever, just wish Michael steel was a free man, be free Mickey
Listening to your content I get the impression it was less of a case of professional hit, and more of a case of a botched police investigation, partly due to corruption and cover ups
Had to be a professional hit. All this time and still no evidence, and you'd need some seriously big balls to calmly take out those three like that. It has to be a professional to have no fear (they might have been drugged up bullies but only someone very serious would risk messing with them - falter and mess up in any way and you're in trouble unless you're used to that level of violence ). Everyone knows that they'd upset many people who wouldn't hesitate to order their killing. I do think that the police were corrupt as (hardly unusual but there were some very powerful old school criminals in the area and they always have police connections).. but more than anything they were under intense pressure to 'solve' the murders. Someone had to go away. I watched the new SKY documentary and if you keep your eye on Ivan Dibley the copper in charge it's written all over his face, answers and body language that he doesn't really believe in the convictions. He either knows the truth or is still trying to convince himself that he solved the case despite the endless questions surrounding it. I don't have any theories that anyone else hasn't come out with, but it is beyond obvious that too much about the convictions stinks. Fwiw I tend to believe that some real criminals (not wannabes like those three but powerful connected people) took them out because of their reckless behaviour causing heat for everyone, plus they'd robbed and bullied people connected to big firms. Nipper Ellis now says it was his deceased father... Possible but I can only guess like everyone else. What I can't believe is that someone like Whomes or even Steele was capable of such a cold blooded professional hit. As for Nicholls, no one with half a brain would involve him in a job like this. Especially Steele who was a clever and thorough guy. He might have used him for smuggling but I can't see anyone involving him in a murder that was always bound to attract massive attention.
Fascinating case though!
I would of fished that gear out the pond and kept it. Fuck telling the plod about it.
Did Essex police ever look into the alibi Jackie Street gave for Steele as she says she was with him elsewhere the night of the murders and did she ever speak publicly about her side of the story ???
She later admitted she wasn't sure if it was that night, or another, which threw some doubt into the alibi. Still, with no exact time of death ever given, how can they prove for or against any alibi. Which is another reason, people including myself, think it was partly a fit up. Or at the least lazy policing.
As if the hash , after 3 weeks, would have been accepted by the Dutch side , no way . The hash never went back . It was all a deflection .
At the end of the day some will think they got what they deserved.but that is vigilante justice,
It is.. But how many more people would they have hurt, tortured and killed before the police did anything? They were getting more and more out of control every day and had already caused untold misery. Sometimes the underworld solves its own problems and they were a problem to many people. As Nipper Ellis said in the recent SKY docu, what would have been the point of him going to the police? I don't like vigilantism, but anyone who's had even small brushes with people like this knows that going to the police is the very worst option available to you. They don't and can't protect anyone but those in witness protection who are valuable to them. They can't usually do a thing to protect the common person from violence and extortion, and if you're a known criminal they won't give a toss even if you're totally non violent.
Not ideal for sure, but it's just how life is. Whoever took these three out did their current and future victims a big favour.
@@jamesbrannigan5620 Great comment.
I miss the 90's
Actually it's a pressure washer 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Don't forget didn't Russell know Pat had threatened his mother, so he might have thought Pat was eventually going to be taken out sooner or later.
what's with all the cursed distorted face images lol i know it's artefacts but makes the images even creepier...
Evening Narrator :)
#jo Blue 😂
What if Michael Steele/Jack Wholmes/and Darren Nicholls were infact the intended targets, or Tucker/Steele/Nicholls/ now that would be a twist in the story, because Tate was with them he got killed as well, as Billy Blundell had said.
They had to go Billy Blundell
I think mick Steele was mates with pats backers, and mick told the backers he had got the money but he didn’t want to give it back so made the backer think he lost out, but they knew because Mike told them, and pat was trying to get the e supply for himself and not tell the main men the score and pat was a midnight mass
Nicholls said he heard shots as he stood by a gate was he in the range rover but does that make mick Jack the shooters how did they get there where was their car. That doesn't add up either the shooter has to be heavy jack n mick used in some way not the killers the more I go over it a diff answer I get
SI Bright Received a Call Fm the Drug Squad
DS Wyrat in the morning became aware of an incident at Rettendon
@ 06:30
Title Screen very funny. Who poses naked, oiled and buffed next to their Range Rover out in the sticks in December?
Tate, that's who.
I think this video says it all really for the most part 🤔
It was an execution plain and simple. They must have had serious enemies. To be taken out with head shots twice, it's clear no risk of survival was taken. Brutal way to go. Sad for the families. A mystery that i doubt will be solved.
One thing i got out of this was Steele's antagonistic attitude towards the police. Unfortunately we know how corrupt they were at this time and its not surprising they fitted him up. They probably justified their tactics against him with the fact he was a drug importer. It does seem like he was part of setting those lads up though.
If mick did he planned it in Amsterdam as that was the carrot 🥕 did micks contact tell him how to deal with PT
The right men went to jail 100%
WELL THEY WERE CRIMINALS AND UP TO NO GOOD SO THEY PROBABLY GOT AWAY WITH OTHER CRIMINALITY SO THEY WERE DUE A PULL ANYWAY
Darren is lying through his teeth
I’m in the Gambian 🇬🇲 Mafia and we are like Essex boys but in Africa
What if Darren pulled the trigger? Is this a potential possibility
I know it’s far out, but I recently watched the Adam south end paranormal guy, I suggested to him the name given was Darren, it sounds like it says Darren. Aside from that I am convinced he was the man or got them down there. The police charged him with the murder when they arrested jw and ms and everyone else, nicholls was charged first with involvement in the murder, he calls for his police handlers who have also been nicked and he didn’t know that. The cops had it on him and he started talking. Barry dorman interview also suggests that ms didn’t come across to him as being the main man in the operation, he suggests nicholls could have been the main man
@@nialld2638 Nice one fir the reply mate, I agree with what your saying 💯%
@@d.c2837 cheers mate I could be far out , I guess everyday you can look at the case differently or something else comes to light , maybe what done says happened on the night happened but I don’t believe it, we know from the transcripts that dn was charged with the murder and then he talked.
The more I read and learn about this case, the more I believe DN was the cleverest out of them all.
@@touchingthevoid if he was undercover plod planted then he probably was to stay alive and one step ahead of the game
Steel may have been in the jeep, and was part of it.
Skullduggery everything. Can't trust anyone.
We need to see a foto of Darren.
Never going to happen unless he went to a party in november 1995 and got photographed then
Bet he was cold posing in front of land rover
Evening all, evening CS2CR 😉
hi
why would mick n jack be getting changed in the hungry horse car park on a cold winters night ? when the car is not in that car park it is in the halfway house car park
Mick could have driven it to the travellers joy in convoy with the Range Rover
Could the shotgun of been their ready for steele so when he got out the rr for a so called piss he knew 2here it was?
Thanks
And then someone landed themselves an easly ilife on farmland in the countryside....hmmmm
Where is crime scene ?? ..has BOM got him removed again ?
I’m here back from holiday, uploads will start again July 1st maybe earlier
@@CrimeScene2Courtroom good man! Thought you called it day or something...enjoy your time off ...sink a pint for me
All speculation. They were found guilty and case closed!!!! 😳
As if the justice system is that easy mate
The case stinks. Only a true professional could carry out a job like that. Steele could have been out years ago, why stay in prison? And why is part of Whomes parole deal that he cannot discuss the case at all? He has never admitted guilt either? Why.. there would be zero comeback for any of them, those three were hated and had no one backing them. No criminal families, not a soul.. Many older criminals have openly stated on camera that they were always going to be got rid of eventually for many reasons. They had no friends.
The Essex force was riddled with corruption and they were under huge pressure to put someone away. We can all speculate but many experienced professionals, including ex policemen from SOCA squads have stated that the convictions are laughable. None of us should blindly accept obvious miscarriages of justice, that just aids the ongoing corruption in the system. Which could effect any one of us.. It's not only criminals that get fitted up.
So was Derek Bentley, mate. Doesn't always mean justice has been done or that the old Bill never stitch people up...
The police did it
Just looking at the crime scene photos of where the range rover was found, how much room would of been left between the range rover and the hedge?
If someone was to get out of the rear seat and open the gate would he of been able to get by without closing it?
Also wasn't Pat Tate found with his feet in both rear footwells?
There wouldn't have been any space, getting out the back passenger door, on the passenger side, because there was a bit of a ditch, or the ground went down about 6, inches in parts of that side, how ever Pat tate had space for getting out of the vehicle on the drivers side, or having the door wide open. I think Pat was the one who opened the door, making it easier for the shooter, that was his mistake i believe. By reversing the RR backwards the gate opened into the lane, so you could drive into the field beyond. It looks like Craig Rolfe drew right upto the gate, then realised it was locked; and reversed back up, as there is two sets of tyre marks from the Range Rover. If the gate was opened and the RR went through into the field, someone would have to get out; and close the gate behind them. As for Pat Tate he was seen in the middle, as a back seat passenger in the RR earlier on that evening. Statements by witnesses bare this out.
Good point raised about the space on the passenger side of RR considering the gunman allegedly fired shots here …… why would he do this when all targets are in clear view through the opened door?
@Cee Cee I was more thinking about the driver's side door on the rear seat could someone of got out of it without leaving footprints or missing the alleged shots?
@@leecheshire4070 I would answer no. I don’t think the initial shootings took place where the RR was found too much consideration taken for no dna traces just my thought
@@ceecee2275 why would you think it happened elsewhere?
I gotta say Darren k is a grass but he's funny to listen to
Jees you really want to make this story complicated don't you. Well so did many others & their attempts also failed. Why can't people just accept that the authorities probably have the story right. So many factors show the convicted pair to be guilty, even they accepted their lot with less of a ruckus.
So, two men who'd never killed anybody. Managed to kill 3 men professionally and without remorse?
the thing is who would be top dog when they were gone think about it.
52 mins you cut my green so I or we want to get back at you by cutting your job so to speak there was hate going on with PT and MS
I told the truth the hole truth and nothing but the truth. 😉
Pleased to meet you my name is Saddam I'm very truthful & dead also what did plod have on you to put 2 men in jail for life?
at aprox 11min 25 secs into vid DN mentions that he is the WEAK LINK how convenient mm were before and who by av i heard them words dibley by any chance
and this is before he even says its about time i started to do my canary thing
