Police Constable Gutteridge was brutally murdere- in a lonely Essex road and was discovered early in the morning with a pencil clutched in his hand and a note-book near. There were four bullet wounds in his head and neck, two of the bullets having been fired at a distance and the other t, ’ with the muzzle pressed close to each eye, both eyes being shattered.
