Man Arrested for 22-Year-Old Murder in Bradford

Looper, who was 57 at the time, died during a brutal home invasion robbery on February 16, 2004. The attack happened while Looper was walking his dog near his outwoodly home. Loopers and trutters ambushed him, dragged him inside, tied up his wife, daughter and opair, then ransacked the place for jewelry, clothes, and cash. Totalling 100,000 pounds, including a rare diamond-studded Cartier watch. Looper was a big player in North Leeds business circles, directing a clothing firm, a property leasing company, and serving as a non-executive for a sports and media group. His family found him unconscious downstairs after freeing themselves, and despite emergency efforts starting at 1.45 a.m., he was pronounced dead from asphyxiation.
