Gerard Tobin, 35, from south London, was killed in a "well-planned" attack on the M40 in Warwickshire on Sunday afternoon as he left the Bulldog Bash motorcycle festival.

A police spokeswoman said while the majority of information had come from the UK, particularly the London area, some calls had originated from his home country of Canada.

More than 100 of these were received on Tuesday, following Detective Superintendent Ken Lawrence's appeal for information.

The spokeswoman said one of the lines of inquiry currently being investigated was the international motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels. While detectives are unable to confirm that biking enthusiast Mr Tobin was part of the group, the spokeswoman said the gang was an aspect of the inquiry.

However, the green or dark Rover 620 car seen parked in a lay-by on the A46 close to junction 15 of the M40 remains the central part of the investigation, she said. Many of the calls received by police include possible sightings of this vehicle, which officers are investigating.

The first picture of Mr Tobin, showing him smiling and looking relaxed, was released by police.

Detective Superintendent Ken Lawrence appealed again for anyone who may have captured the shooting on their mobile telephones to send him the images.

Police believe Mr Tobin left the Bulldog Bash event at Long Marston Airfield in Stratford with two friends on Sunday afternoon and headed in convoy with them up to the M40. Before they joined the motorway at Junction 15, they passed a lay-by where police believe a green or dark Rover 620 car was parked.

This vehicle is thought to have pulled out and followed the bikers on to the southbound carriageway where a shot was fired, hitting Mr Tobin in the back of the head.
