Atiq Rehman Milton Keynes, UK — Police have issued a warrant in connection with the 2007 murder of 18‑year‑old Atiq Rehman, who was fatally attacked in The Square, Wolverton on 15 May 2007. The long‑running investigation into the case continues as authorities seek to bring justice nearly two decades after the violent incident.
Atiq Rehman was assaulted with a snooker cue outside a snooker club in The Square following a dispute linked to tensions within a local mosque community. The severe head injuries he sustained in the attack led to his death two days later. The incident shocked the local community and sparked a major police investigation at the time.
Three men were previously prosecuted in relation to the killing at Luton Crown Court in 2008. Two pleaded guilty to murder and received long prison sentences, while a third was convicted following trial proceedings. Court records show that the violent clash stemmed from a long‑running dispute connected to disagreements over the running of the mosque in Wolverton.
Police have now renewed efforts to locate an individual believed to be connected to the offence, prompting the issuance of a warrant. Authorities have not released the name of the suspect subject to the warrant but say they are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
Detectives emphasised that even after many years, serious crime units remain committed to solving historic murders, and will continue pursuing leads when credible evidence emerges. They have reiterated appeals for public support, particularly from those who may have information about the case or the whereabouts of the individual named in the warrant.
The murder of Atiq Rehman remains a troubling chapter in Wolverton’s recent history, one that has left lasting scars on the victim’s family and the wider community. Police continue to stress the importance of community cooperation in helping to resolve outstanding questions and securing justice for the victim and his loved ones.
Anyone with information related to the warrant or the 2007 incident is asked to contact Thames Valley Police or Crimestoppers.
