Who Is Gavin Plumb, & Why Does He Want To Murder Holly Willoughby?
On Thursday 5th October, one of Britain’s most high-profile television personalities, Holly Willoughby, was unexpectedly forced to pull out of ITV’s talk show, ‘This Morning…’ The reason being that a plot to kidnap and murder her was brought to light just moments before she was due to appear live on air…The suspect? 36 year old father of two, Gavin Plumb from Harlow in Essex. Plumb was arrested on Wednesday 4th October when his flat was raided after a plot to kidnap and murder the star was foiled. Essex Police found ‘sinister messages’ threatening ‘serious harm’ on his phone (which has since been seized)…
Plumb, as well as having weapons and a restraint kit which he intended to use to kidnap Holly, had also contacted a hitman in the US, David Nelson, with this hitman being set to fly to the UK next week to murder Holly (Plumb had already arranged flights to and from the UK for said hitman)… Appearing in court on Friday 6th October accused of offences including soliciting to commit murder and incitement to commit kidnap, prosecuting solicitor Shefa Begum told the court Plumb was part of a ‘vast network of like-minded individuals’ and had a ‘detailed plan.’
