Nicky McNamara

There is no conclusive proof that Nicky McNamara was responsible for Damien’s death, but our evidence suggests he is the chief suspect.

Before he died in 2002, Nicky McNamara was a notorious drug dealer on the Isle of Wight, with a history of violence. We've established that Damien could well have known McNamara and could on occasions have bought drugs from him. One former dealer told us McNamara killed Damien over a drugs debt. Another source told us he saw McNamara in Cowes High Street the night Damien disappeared, and that he saw McNamara behaving suspiciously the next day. One local resident told us he saw McNamara pinning a tall skinny teenager up against a wall in the area Damien was last seen.

Nicky McNamara features in episodes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
