In a stunning new development in the ongoing investigation into Ricky Hatton’s mysterious death, police have confirmed the discovery of previously unseen CCTV footage showing a vehicle stopping outside the boxer’s home twice within the same hour on the night he died.
According to law enforcement sources, the vehicle — a dark-colored sedan with partially obscured plates — was first recorded at 10:42 p.m., when it paused briefly near Hatton’s gated driveway before driving off. But less than an hour later, it returned to the same spot, this time with its headlights off.
“What the driver did next shocked even the most experienced investigators,” said one source close to the case. “The movements were deliberate — not random. It’s as if the person knew exactly where the cameras were.”
Police have not confirmed the identity of the driver but stated that forensic analysis of the footage has yielded “key visual markers” that could soon lead to a formal identification.
“This is the most significant lead we’ve had in months,” an investigator told reporters. “The car’s pattern of movement — combined with newly recovered digital evidence — strongly suggests premeditation.”
The Hatton family, still reeling from the series of revelations in recent weeks, have declined to comment. However, a family spokesperson described the footage as “deeply disturbing.”
As detectives continue to review surrounding CCTV networks and cell tower data from that night, police say this footage could finally tie together the unexplained activity around Hatton’s home in the hour leading up to his fatal collapse.
“We’re now looking at this not as coincidence,” a source added, “but as intent.”
