The family of Oliver White, a 27-year-old watch dealer, is reeling from the devastating loss after Oliver was found dead at their family home in Shepperton, Middlesex, just 24 hours following a traumatic incident. This incident occurred when two unarmed thieves raided the 247 Kettles store in affluent Richmond, London, stealing a substantial number of high-value watches. A disturbing video emerged depicting one of the robbers restraining Oliver while his accomplice looted the store, leading to widespread shock and horror.
In a heart-wrenching statement to Surrey Police, Oliver’s family expressed their belief that he took his own life as a result of the anguish and distress caused by the robbery. They described Oliver as a beautiful, funny, and loyal young man who was deeply traumatized by the attack and subsequent robbery. The family emphasized their devastation over the loss of their beloved son, requesting privacy as they navigate through this difficult time.
Furthermore, revelations surfaced regarding the suspects’ actions leading up to the robbery. The perpetrators reportedly posed as clients over a three-day period, meticulously planning their attack and waiting for the opportune moment to strike. 247 Kettles, in a statement, acknowledged that Oliver should never have been left alone in the office with such a large display of watches, pointing out lapses in security procedures despite the presence of panic buttons, alarms, and security doors.
Friends of Oliver, known.
