Detectives were today probing a link between the cold-blooded killings of two south Essex men.
Officers from two forces were due to hold top-level talks about the execution-style shootings of Ronald Fuller and Kenneth Beagle.
Mr Fuller, a former bouncer, was shot dead on the doorstep of his Grays home by what police believe was a gangland assassin.
And last Wednesday, Billericay man Kenny Beagle, 55, was gunned down at point blank range in the grounds of Oldchurch Hospital, Romford.
The killing of Mr Fuller is being investigated by Essex Police, while a major incident team from the Met is hunting Mr Beagle's killers.
Anyone with information should contact the Serious Crime Group at Edmonton on 020 8345 4332 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111
