Reveller killed by single gunshot at Surrey mansion pool party named by police
Ricardo Hunter, 34, died after being blasted with a handgun at the £1million house in Headley last weekend
A REVELLER killed at a pool party died from a single gunshot wound, a post mortem revealed yesterday.
Ricardo Hunter, 34, was blasted with a pistol at the £1million house around 2.30am on Monday.
The victim, from Coulsdon, died in the arms of several nurses who were among over 400 partygoers at the private bash in Headley, Surrey.
A woman, 36, was also left with serious leg injuries after the shooting.
Police said a 38-year-old man from London, who was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, remained in custody last night.
And a woman, 30, also from London, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, was released on conditional bail until September.
Yesterday police said a post-mortem examination provided the cause of death as a single gunshot wound.
Officers from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team are continuing to carry out a number of enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the death.
Forensic teams are expected to be examining the property for a number of days to come and divers have been searching the village pond for the murder weapon.
Last night Detective Chief Inspector Paul Rymarz, from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: "This was a shocking incident where a man lost his life and we are determined to bring those responsible to justice.
"Following the incident we quickly launched a large-scale police investigation to speak to anyone who was at the private pool party and gather all relevant information to establish what happened.
"We know there were several hundred people at the pool party in Church Lane on the evening of Sunday, 24 July, into the early hours of Monday, 25 July.

“And although we have already spoken to a number of witnesses we intend to speak to everyone who was at the party.
"I would therefore ask anyone who was at the event and may have seen what happened or with any footage or information who has not spoken to police to come forward as a matter of urgency.
"I would like to assure people that we will treat any reports or information provided in the strictest confidence."
"The Bungalow" was the venue for the advertised "Big Mansion Pool Party - My League" on Monday.
Guests flocked to the venue, which was rented especially for the event.
The bash was organised by Jamaican reggae artist Braintear Spookie, 21, and Summerlyn Farquharson, 30, known as "The Female Boss Krissy".
The £20-a-head party had been advertised on websites with a reminder on Sunday saying that it was taking place at "a posh location in the hills."
