Barker Murder

Detectives involved in the investigation of the murder of Campbell Town man Shane Geoffrey Barker are again appealing to the public to come forward to assist in the investigation of this matter.

This murder was committed on 2 August 2009 and remains unsolved at this time.  A reward of $50,000 in relation to this is also still current.

Information gathered in 2009 suggested a vehicle of interest could have been involved in the Murder.

The vehicle is a white Toyota Hilux Dual Cab utility and has a canopy attached.  It was last seen heading south on the main street of Campbell Town.  In the attached photos the vehicle of interest is the ute moving behind the parked car.

This new information will again be explored and Police are appealing once again for anyone with any information about this matter to contact them.  The information can be anonymous and callers can also ring Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Launceston CIB on 6336 3701.
