Summary

In the ninth episode of British Murders Season 4, I tell the story of Peter Reeve and PC Ian Dibell.⁣⁣⁣

On July 9, 2012, Reeve confronted his neighbour Trevor Marshall in Clacton-on-Sea and fired several handgun shots towards him.⁣

Trevor was hit once in the leg and survived, but the same can’t be said for heroic police officer Ian Dibell.⁣

Despite being off-duty at the time of the attack, PC Dibell attempted to disarm Reeve but was shot in the chest during the scuffle.⁣

PC Dibell died almost instantly due to suffering fatal aorta damage.⁣

Peter Reeve shot himself in the head the following morning at All Saints Church in the neighbouring village of Writtle.⁣

0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to British murders, the podcast that focuses exclusively on British murder cases with an occasional glimpse at horror movies.
0:25.0	I'm your host Stuart Blues and this is now the ninth episode of season four.
0:27.0	We're almost at the end of the season people.
0:31.1	If I sound and look a bit rough this week, it's because I am.
0:33.7	I saw the offspring last night with my mate Dav.
0:36.3	The funny thing is that we got separated when the band came on.
0:37.9	We both enjoyed the show alone.
0:42.2	We couldn't find each other. It just got too busy and we were standing and not in seats.
0:44.9	So next time we'll probably stand again.
0:50.9	This week's episode is special because we're a day removed from the show's first anniversary.
0:55.7	The first three episodes of British murders were released on December 3rd, 2020.
0:59.9	I just want to thank every listener for taking the time out of your busy schedules to listen to my little one-man production of a true crime podcast.
1:03.7	To be honest, I'm shocked that I actually stuck it out this long because typically I give
1:07.8	up on things too soon.
1:09.4	The biggest reason why I haven't done that with the podcast
1:11.3	is because of you, my listeners.
1:14.2	As with most indie podcasters,
1:16.0	the thought of quitting comes and goes when life gets hectic,
1:19.2	but luckily it's only ever a fleeting thought
1:21.4	because I'll hear from one of my listeners
1:23.3	and it gives me such a boost and it gives me that drive to carry on.
1:27.4	So again, thank you so much everyone and here is to another year.
