Ex Rolls Royce head designer stabbed to death

Ian Cameron, former Rolls-Royce head designer and vintage car expert, was tragically killed at his $3 million mansion in Germany during a robbery attempt. The 74-year-old British national was stabbed by an assailant at his home in Herrsching, near Lake Ammersee. His wife, Verena Kloos, managed to escape by scaling a wall and seeking refuge in a neighbor's house, from where she alerted the police.

CCTV evidence revealed that the power cables to the garage of Ian Cameron's house, where valuables were stored, had been intentionally cut. The pollice officials said "The investigation suggests that this was a violent crime." 

Ian Cameron played a "significant" role in designing iconic Rolls-Royce vehicles, including the Ghost, Phantom, and 3 Series. He took on the role of leading the Rolls-Royce design team after BMW acquired the company's automotive business in 1998. "We are deeply shocked and saddened by the news about our former Rolls-Royce designer. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during these difficult hours," stated BMW to Automotive News. 

The suspect is described as being between 180 and 190 cm (5 ft 9 in to 6 ft 2 in) tall. He was last seen wearing light-colored pants, a dark-blue sweatshirt, yellow-green gloves, and carrying a red backpack, according to police officials. A manhunt is underway to locate the suspect, who is currently on the run. Search teams, aided by dogs and a helicopter, are thoroughly combing the area to apprehend the murderer.
