US EditioniPad submerged 5 years in London's River Thames helps unlock murder plot
- In July 2019, Paul Allen, a notorious armed robber, was nearly assassinated at a property in Woodford, east London, sustaining severe injuries that left him paralyzed after two bullets struck him.
- The attempted murder stemmed from a web of international organized crime, potentially linked to debts owed to Allen, who had gained notoriety as a ringleader in the 2006 Securitas depot robbery where £53 million was stolen.
- The Met Police launched a six-year investigation that untangled the complex web of crimes and implicated Louis Ahearne, Stewart Ahearne, and Daniel Kelly in the shooting and other offenses, including a museum heist in Geneva one month prior where they stole items worth £2.8 million.
- During the investigation, a seemingly minor detail in Louis Ahearne's defense statement about a petrol station stop led police to recover a submerged iPad Mini from the River Thames, which DCI Webb described as 'a beautiful piece of the puzzle'.
- The iPad contained crucial evidence that, along with DNA evidence and call data, resulted in the conviction of Louis Ahearne, Stewart Ahearne, and Daniel Kelly at the Old Bailey for conspiracy to murder, with sentencing scheduled for April 25, 2025.
