The St Mary Police are probing the execution style killing of a vendor in the parish.
Ian Martin, 39, a vendor in the Highgate market, was killed on Saturday night at his home in Esher.
His body was found by residents on Sunday morning.
Martin is said to be the relative of three men, including a policeman, in custody on a charge of murder.
Investigators are probing whether it was a revenge killing.
