Thirty-one years later, the motivation for his killing and the identity of his killer remain a complete mystery.
Here’s what we know about the murder which shocked a rural Leicestershire community.
The 56-year-old, originally from Falkirk in Scotland, lived at a large sprawling property, Hunter’s Lodge in Barrow upon Soar, near Loughborough, with nine acres of grounds.
Although rarely seen by neighbours, Mr Brown was known to leave his home every day, either by car or helicopter, to visit his businesses.
Before his death, he had spent a large sum of money on security around his home, including remote-controlled iron gates at the entrance, high fencing and motion-activated security lighting.
But when he failed to make an arranged call to a business associate at 11pm, they called his home and got no reply.
A post-mortem revealed he had died from a single bullet wound to the chest, which had been fired around 12 hours before he was discovered.

Two men were arrested in connection with the case, but they were never charged.
There have even been suggestions that the murder may have been linked to that of former television presenter Jill Dando, shot on her doorstep in Fulham in 1999, because of the similarities between the two killings.
What the Leicestershire Police team investigating the death did discover was that Mr Brown had been shot at point-blank range by someone using a shotgun and a unique modified Eley LG cartridge.
There were no signs of a break-in or burglary at the property.
A white Mercedes had been spotted a number of times driving fast on the roads around Mr Brown’s property.
On the night of the murder, a 4X4 vehicle was seen parked outside Mr Brown’s estate at around 10pm.
A fresh appeal for information was made 10 years after the crime in 2004, at the time Detective Chief Inspector Jim Donaghy said he believed somebody in Barrow could hold clues to the case.
“That will never happen in this case. We constantly review these sorts of inquiries, murders and homicides.
Twenty-one years on from that, officers are still hoping that someone will finally talk and provide the key to solving the case.
