Wolffe killer still sought

The family of a man brutally murdered two years ago today has made a desperate plea for information in a bid to bring the killer to justice.

The extended family of Glen Calvin (Bugsy) Wolffe said they would never be able to properly get over his death until the person responsible was convicted and put away for life.

Father-of-one Glen was found stabbed to death in his Sandys home exactly two years ago. However, despite a $10,000 reward, Police have so far drawn a blank in their search for the culprit.

Yesterday detectives leading the inquiry said it was still being actively pursued and they would not cease until the murderer had been found and the case could officially be closed.

Glen's brother John said last night: "Me and the rest of the family want to urge anyone with information to come forward, so the people or person responsible can be brought before the courts.

"It is two years, but Glen's death is still a huge set back in our lives. We feel like we cannot grieve properly or have any kind of closure because Glen is dead and gone forever, but his killer is still out there a free person.

"Please, anyone with information either tell the Police or a member of the family. Glen was one of 11 children, so it's a big family, and we were all very close. People can talk to any of us.

"I would ask people to put themselves in our position and imagine how they would feel if it was someone they loved who had been murdered. Please, help us to get through this."

Glen's brother said the family still knew very little about how the 43-year-old had died, or why.

He said Glen was an outgoing person, who lived life to the full, and did not deserve to die this way.

He added: "After it happened, we thought we would, at some stage, begin to hear things about his death, but we have heard nothing.

"Nobody is saying anything. Somebody somewhere must know something. Somebody decided to take the law into their own hands, for whatever reason, but it should not be allowed to happen. It is time for people to come forward."

Homosexual Mr. Wolffe, who was the father of a teenaged son, was found dead in his Heathcote Hill home on November 17.

Known to his family and friends as a fairly quiet man, he lived alone and was last definitely seen alive by relatives on the Friday before his body was discovered some five days later.

He is believed to have lain undiscovered for a number of days after suffering several sharp force injuries on various parts of his body.

Police have released very little detail about how the stonemason was killed, but said it appeared to be a motiveless, brutal act.

Hundreds of people have so far been interviewed, but the information that will lead Police to the murderer has still not been uncovered.

Detective Chief Inspector Earl Kirby last night promised Glen's family that the investigation into his death would never come to an end until his killer was made to pay the price.

He said even last week two new leads came into the Major Incident Room, which were actively being followed.

The Police chief said: "Nobody should be walking around a free man after killing someone. We can assure everyone that we are focussing on the death of Mr. Wolffe and the person who did it.

"We know we have to be patient, but we will pursue it for as long as it takes. Nobody deserve to die in this manner. We are making progress and the family will get closure. It has been two years, but that doesn't matter to us.

"There have been other cases where it has taken much longer than that to get justice. We will keep pursuing the leads until we get the answers we want."

The officer charged with handling the case, Detective Constable Sylvester Augustine, has worked in CID for 18 years and said he was confident the case would eventually be cracked.

He said: "People with information should come forward and talk to us in confidence, no matter how insignificant they believe the detail is.

"People may be in fear, but I want to tell them to have no fear. What they say to us is in confidence. They can be anonymous and if the information they give us leads to a conviction, they may qualify for a $10,000 reward.

"This was a heinous crime that should not be allowed to go undetected. I urge the public to help in anyway they can."

Anyone with information should call Police on 295-0011 and ask for the Major Incident Room.
