Gerry Tobin was shot in the back of the head as he rode home from an annual biker event, the Bulldog Bash, in Warwickshire on August 12th.

Police have received more than 600 calls and e-mails from the public in response to appeals, but are still urging anyone with information about a dark-coloured Rover 600 car to come forward.

Assistant Chief Constable Bill Holland told a news conference: "The investigation is active and ongoing."

Detectives believe Mr Tobin (35), a motorbike mechanic who lived in south London, had been deliberately targeted after being followed from the bikers' event.

They have said it was possible that he had been targeted by a rival gang.
