Derrick Bird, 52, killed his brother David and a family lawyer before departing on a 72-km rampage across rural England, targeting former workmates and strangers. Police said he killed 10 victims in a single hour, shooting many in the face.

Police have said Bird was being investigated by tax officials prior to his killing spree, and may also have feuded with his family and colleagues. Officers said Bird had reported he was the victim of assault in 2002 and 2007, complained about criminal damage to his taxi in 2008 and a theft from his taxi in 1998.
