In a tragic turn of events, veteran BMW and Rolls-Royce designer, Ian Cameron, was brutally murdered at his home in Bavaria, Germany.
The 74-year-old was found dead at the entrance of his Bavarian villa. Local police reported that Ian Cameron had been stabbed by a man who then fled the scene on foot.
Mr. Cameron’s wife, Verena Kloos, fortunately escaped unharmed and promptly contacted the authorities to apprehend the perpetrator.
Initial investigations revealed that the power cable to the surveillance camera in Mr. Cameron’s garage, where he kept his car collection, had been cut. Police suspected that the murderer intended to steal Mr. Cameron’s valuable car collection from his home.
However, an investigator questioned whether the motive was solely theft, as the perpetrator, who had prepared so meticulously, ultimately chose to kill the victim.
According to police information, the suspect is likely male, approximately 180-190 cm tall, wearing light-colored pants, a dark blue hoodie, yellow-green gloves, and carrying a red backpack.
Currently, German police have deployed dogs and helicopters to hunt down the murderer. Divers have also begun searching around Lake Ammersee near the crime scene, but no traces of the suspect have been found yet.
Mr. Ian Cameron was a renowned car designer known for his work with BMW and Rolls-Royce. During his time at BMW, he designed iconic models such as the 3 Series and the Z8 roadster.
When Rolls-Royce came under the BMW Group, Mr. Cameron led the design team and played a pivotal role in developing luxurious sedans like the Ghost and the Phantom. He also contributed to several concept cars and pre-production models during his 13 years with Rolls-Royce.
In 2013, Mr. Ian Cameron retired after more than a decade with the prestigious car brand. Since then, he and his wife have resided in a $4 million villa in Herrsching, Upper Bavaria, Germany.
