Police have launched a manhunt over the murder of a pensioner who was stabbed to death after going to the aid of his neighbour - a convicted paedophile - during a robbery.
Graham Buck, 66, was responding to the cries of his neighbour, believed to be 86-year-old convicted paedophile Francis Cory-Wright, who was apparently being attacked at his home.
Police urgently want to speak to Ian John McLoughlin, also known as Ian John Baker, in connection with the killing in Little Gaddesden, near Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire on Saturday afternoon.
Police are trying to trace McLoughlin They have released CCTV images, thought to be of the 55-year-old, to highlight the clothes he was wearing on the day of the murder.
They have warned the public not to approach Mr McLoughlin and have described him as "extremely dangerous".
The suspect is described as being a white male, around 6ft tall with greying hair.
He was believed to be wearing sunglasses, blue jeans and a dark, blue, light blue and white checked short sleeved shirt with a button down collar. He is of average build.
Francis Cory-Wright was thought to have been attacked in his home Mr Buck, 66, was found dead at the scene by police while Cory-Wright was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Detective Chief Superintendent Jeff Hill said Mr Buck, described as a retired financial industry worker, paid the "ultimate price" for intervening during the robbery at the home of an elderly neighbour.
"Mr Buck's actions were totally selfless and illustrate a deep sense of community spirit which deserves recognition and respect," he said.
"His family are receiving support from specialist officers and we extend our deepest sympathies to them at this truly dreadful time."
Mr Buck leaves behind a wife, two sons and a daughter, two grandchildren and a former wife.
A statement from Hertfordshire Police said his family described him as a devoted husband, father and grandfather who "appreciated his life, getting great satisfaction from his family being happy and healthy".
"He was a man who would help anyone in need, with a strong sense of doing the right thing," it said.
A statement from Mr Buck's family said: "We have no words to express how much Graham will be missed. We were all in such a happy place as a family. We were all so settled, with growing numbers of grandchildren whom he adored being around.
"We haven't seen him happier than being around his grandchildren whom he adored being around. We haven't seen him happier than being around his grandchildren, he was so proud. We cannot get over that we have lost him.
"He's going to be missed by so many people."
DCI Martin Branning from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said: "We would like to reiterate that we continue to search for an extremely dangerous man and our focus is on finding Ian McLoughlin as soon as possible.
"The nature of this murder investigation is one of significant violence and until he is caught the public are asked not to approach him as he is a very dangerous man."
Officers have been conducting additional patrols in the "quiet residential" area to provide reassurance to residents.
In November 2011, Cory-Wright was jailed for 30 months for indecently assaulting a young boy in the 1970s.
