Although a missing person case, her family and friends insisted she would never leave her husband and children, and four years later her case featured on the crime-solving programme Crimewatch, in which it was said to be a case in which a crime must be suspected and that detectives feared the worst. īody not found, disappeared from Newport, Walesģ4-year-old mother-of-three Whittaker disappeared from the home she shared with her husband in Newport, south east Wales after reportedly going out for a drink with a female friend on the evening of Friday, 23 March. As with the previous defendant, someone close to him having a connection to the man Royal had fatally stabbed (in this case his girlfriend, who was the sister of that man) was viewed as a motive, and he spent nearly 14 years in prison for the murder before his conviction was overturned in 2007.
In 1993, a second person was tried for Royal's murder. The 21-year-old's sister had, at the time of his death in 1987, been the partner of the man killed by Royal, and this was viewed as a motive. In April 1990, a local man was charged with Royal's murder. The science teacher had himself killed someone in January 1987, although a jury accepted his claim that he had been acting in self-defence and found him not guilty accordingly. Royal, 58, was killed with a shotgun in the porch of his house on 19 March 1990.
#CALIBRE ACADEMY CARNIVAL TRIAL#
Police charged two men with the murder of Mr Childerley and the attempted murder of Mrs Childerley, but when the case came to trial in 1991, they were cleared – in part because the judge considered Mrs Childerley's testimony unreliable because a medical expert did not believe she had genuine memories of the attacks. Intruders armed with weapons attacked 29-year-old Kevin Childerley and his wife as they lay in bed, leading to his death and to her losing the sight in her right eye. Nine arrests were made but none of the arrested people was charged over the Valentine's Day killing. ģ8-year-old McEwan was found dead or dying at his Aldridge Road home with bullet wounds to his head. A forensic re-examination of the car in 2012 did not give detectives the breakthrough they were hoping for.
#CALIBRE ACADEMY CARNIVAL DRIVER#
The 51-year-old taxi driver vanished on 3 February and his Ford Sierra was found abandoned with bloodstains inside it in a car park at Heathrow Airport (some miles from Whyteleafe, the Surrey village where he lived) on 12 February.
He had been walking home after a night out drinking and was attacked at around 12.20 am. Ĥ8-year-old Fitzmaurice was stabbed to death with a stiletto knife at or near his home on 3 February 1990. Events surrounding his murder were reconstructed on Crimewatch in April 1990. He was found stabbed to death in his car in Beavers Open Space, Hounslow, on 30 January 1990. Gill, 33, was an insurance salesman who drove a distinctive modified dark red Mercedes with the index number 16 GLL. There are suspicions that her attacker tricked his way in by pretending to be a gasman or some other type of official. Her pension money was missing from the house, along with a ring and an amber paperweight. It is likely that the person who delivered the fatal blows to her head had an accomplice, for a witness reported having seen two men (one with a clipboard) talking to Kellett on her doorstep about 45 minutes before her home help discovered her body. Kellett was a 92-year-old who was hammered to death in her own home. Nobody has been tried for Brosnan's murder or manslaughter, but the nurse and a colleague of hers did get convicted of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. A Home Office pathologist concluded that Brosnan had struggled with an attacker before suffocating to death as a result of being pressed face-down into bedding. The nurse who reported the death claimed at first that Brosnan had suffered a cardiac arrest, but later changed her story to say that the deceased had used tights to hang herself from the bedhead. ħ0-year-old Brosnan died in a hospital's psychiatric ward. The cause of death was asphyxia, and it is believed he died the day before police found his body. In the period leading up to his death, he was tortured by being hit with a hammer and having his back stamped or kneeled on, suffering broken ribs as a consequence. Because the flat had been ransacked, and because Howe had tens of thousands of pounds hidden in a safe there (which the offender/s did not find), theft is thought to have been the motive for the killing. The body of the 63-year-old retired vet was found tied up in his flat on 9 January. Main article: List of unsolved murders in the United Kingdom 1990s Year
