Family man Danny King looks tanned and relaxed while on holiday in Spain with his wife Sylvia.

Three weeks later he was dead, shot four times in bed at his home in Ditton, near Maidstone, while three of his grandchildren slept nearby.

The police described the killing as "horrific and brutal".

His widow gave this photograph to the KM Group, and another of him with his entire family, on holiday.
