Thanks for detailing the status of these cases next to their names. It’s staggering, and so sad for the families, that so many of these murders are unsolved. 😢
Michael Wyatt murdered Wayne Taylor 11 in a squat in Southwyck House, Somerleyton Road, Brixton. He was also convicted for the attempted murder of another 9-year-old boy. After his conviction it was revealed that he had earlier killed a man in Jamaica where he was from having been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months. He and the man had had a row over some cooking oil. Wayne Taylor's body was found dead on a mattress in a squat on 21 February 1990 having been strangled. He had been buggered. How truly horrendous and disgusting we allow these killers into the country then and now. May he RIP.
34:43 I've done some digging around regarding Carmel Gamble's case. In 2014, an 82 year old man was stabbed to death by a man who he had employed as a gardener named David Hall. The house where this happened was little more than a stones throw from Carmel's cottage in Rodborough. I have seen a picture of David Hall and he looks uncannily like the man in the photo fit. If David Hall (who would have been 22 or 23 in November 1989) had a receding hairline at the time of Carmel's murder, then it's my belief that he was the 'middle aged' man who walked away when the shop assistant approached Carmel.

It's so easy to forget how long ago it all was now. Literally last century. The technology was really limited. DNA was very basic, CCTV was rare, mobile phone records like we have them now just didn't exist. The police were almost totally reliant on appeals for witnesses. The tragedy for these victims is that so many of the cases would have been solved pretty quickly if they'd happened today.
Thoughts on the circumstances of Paul Stevens' murder. There was no offer of a job. He lied to placate his landlady, who was getting sick of him staying out all at hours drinking and using her sofa to sleep off his hangovers. The tall, blond man in whose company he was seen is a red herring. He was a regular at the Chariot pub, named Martin and lived in New Zealand. I think Paul was apt to strike up conversations with friendly people in pubs to 'bum' free drinks. He clearly had a problem with alcohol, and it was disrupting his life. That's why he had left his brother's home and had taken shelter with a kind woman who felt sorry for him. Unfortunately, he appeared to be using her, too. The area of the Grand Union Canal where Paul was found was an infamous haunt of homosexual activity. Nearby is The Grand Union pub, which is where a witness remembered seeing him three weeks before his death. I believe he was attacked by a psychotic individual or member of an armed group as he 'cruised' the canal path, just because he stood out and his killer was drunk, angry and looking for a vulnerable target.
Interesting, you've clearly got some insight into this area at the time, seeing you've named the previously unidentified guy in the pub. I can easily believe your theory re: the murder, there are lots of aimless directionless people out there who just drift around living off other people's goodwill. That leaves them vulnerable.

Ann Herrons husband was charged with her murder but it had to be dropped due to lack of evidence. He was having an affair and couldn't account for his whereabouts - changed his story etc. Police think he did it.
I note the pub in the Murray Erskine case became residential in 1991. Also looks like the property where he lived is one whole property today and doesn't have the basement as separate living accomodation. How times change!
One thing that people pick up on from these old Crimewatch episodes is how you could smoke anywhere you wanted. I would also point out that people drank a hell of a lot more, there were more pubs and going to the pub was more of a thing in general
@@MosesDeLaRoses Yup. Now, even if you smoke out on the street, these days, people give the evil eye and cough at you. The only objection I have to smoking in the street? Please don't light up when walking up the stairs of the tube/subway And for god's sake don't litter. How hard is it to pinch off the ash and then put the filter in a trash can?

Fascinating - thanks for uploading. And thanks for keeping the videotapes for so long! Strange to hear gay people spoken about in that way - 30 years ago must be longer than it feels.
I lived through the 90s and I’m often shocked at what I don’t even remember noticing back then that would rightfully burn my ears off these days… Not to mention my brains exploding from how some egregious practices, such as an employer openly making a job contingent on Cheers’ Rebecca dating/sleeping with him, were so mundane that it was the episode’s mere SITuation, while it was Rebecca’s _”shallowness of not finding him physically attractive enough to follow through”_ being under indictment that was played for COMedic fodder 🤯 Despite indeed finding Sam’s constant workplace come-ons as humorously pathetic back then as they are objectionable now, I genuinely thought NOTHING of this utterly cockeyed premise at the time. No one did.
I note it's 30 years now since Lee's tragic death she'd have been 73 yrs old now. A very mysterious & sad case indeed. I wonder if it will ever be solved?
@@oliprj8676i think they had her assassinated, probably to stop her from talking, and revealing many of her clients, people in top positions such as politicians etc, just a theory....
@@Lushgirl81 it certainly was. Probably the hottest summer I’d experienced up to that point. I remember that even towards the end of September it was still warm.

Carmel Gamble - it just seems a random and very twisted killing. The woman didn't really socialise much, but who was that man she was seen in the electrical store with? Was it a neighbour, someone she may have attended a therapy session with? Furthermore, why did he move away when the shop assistant came out? Was he a known thief? Did he think Carmel had money, "used" her and went to her house to kill her and steal from her? She was obviously a vulnerable and lonely lady, but what was the motive? It just seems odd. I'd love to know who the random in the telephone box was (I do believe someone pretended to be her and stole her coat before she died) and the guy with a carrier bag in the early hours of the morning. I just feel for her and I bet her husband wished he was there that weekend as this could have been prevented. Keith Burgess - I think the guy with the blue bobble hat killed him. It was either a scorned ex-lover who wasn't "out" (remember being gay had stigma in this era) or someone he befriended who became obsessed. The stolen photoalbum was either pictures of the bobble hat guy and Keith and the evidence probably got destroyed and burned. As for the filofax - other than family members, friends etc - what used would that be? Surely if you had a horrible phonecall or letter from someone saying "I killed x" you'd be on the cops like a shot. Betty seemed lovely if a bit nosy, but a shame she didn't hang around longer to stop what happened or even Janet ran down to raise the alarm. As a side note, "Betty's flat" was the then home of a friend of a former associate of mine. She got a handsome sum of money for the reconstruction. Same associate had her house used for an episode of Casualty in Bristol during the early years. She used the money to buy baby stuff and a cot for her first child! Sadly, I can't see either being solved anytime soon. If the killers are alive, I hope they are suffering and realise what pain they've inflicted on the families and friends of Carmel and Keith. If they are dead, I hope they suffered.
One thing I don't think they picked up on, but the blue and white hat in Bristol, means they are highly likely to have been a Bristol Rovers fan. As for Keith, he would have been sacked eventually for drinking before work. I work for the railway and it became a sackable offence in the early 90's to come to work, with alcohol in your blood stream. Carmel, very sad, highly likely an opportunist crime from someone who knew her in some way. Thinking she would have money and was alone in the house and as she was so underweight, would have provided no resistance.
@@wearecity You'd be surprised thinking if Rovers were playing that weekend at home, wouldn't they have liased with fans or the club if they noticed this man attend. Yeah, I thought that but just assumed it was different rules in 1989. It's not professional isn't it? It's far from a sexual liaison as Mr Burgess was in a rush to head to work. I do think it was a scorned ex or someone whom got obsessed with him and went too far. It was the way he was presenting himself before he killed Keith as well. Hiding his face and looking uneasy. Carmel, I do believe the same as you. Seemed as if she was taken advantage of by an opportunitist whom thought she was rich and killed a vulnerable and very ill woman.
25 years after Carmel was murdered, an 82 year old man named Dennis Plater was stabbed to death by his former gardener, a 48 year old man called David Hall. Dennis Plater's house is practically next door to the cottage Carmel was staying in when she was murdered. I don't believe that's any coincidence.
There had been a rise in serious crime from the 1960s onwards and it really exploded in the 1980, and then had another rise in the early 90s as another recession kicked in. From about 2003 crime started to go down and down - we actually now have the lowest levels of crime in history.
The sighting of Surinder Gill at Comet must have been a mistake or a lie. If I were to guess, I'd say he had some shady business dealings. I feel sorry for his family and daughter. To think she's probably in her 30's now and would have never recovered from losing her father.
None of it really seems to make any sense, he's hijacked during the daytime, kidnapped for hours, turns up at a comet shop in the evening, to discuss buying a new phone, disappears again without informing his family of his whereabouts, and is then found stabbed to death the following morning, shady dealings to do with his insurance broker business, maybe, but I think there's a lot more to it, and the case needs reopening and re-investigating, hopefully justice can be truly gained for his family one forthcoming day....
@@joshuaedwards4536 In case you never saw it, but in a later program, they said the Comet guy was mistaken about the date. So basically he was abducted and then after sometime murdered and didn't speak to anyone in between.
@@wearecityno i didnt see that update at all, the only update i remember was that it was confirmed 4 men were sat waiting in a car, along that street where he was overpowered and abducted, i assume was either the week or month after it was 1st broadcasted, i did read in one article that his death may have had something to do with the "holy smokes" gang, could be just speculation, but also maybe another lead into this mysterious unnecessary death....
Love the full episodes but really really appreciate these compilations Retropixels! Any chance you could make a compilation of cases which don't fit into the raids/robberies/murders categories sometime please?
Any full reconstructions (and perhaps extended incident desk cases, though I know you already do ID compilations) which haven't already been uploaded really! I couldn't see the two women bogus social security officials in the 1986 raids/robberies/thefts description but I might have missed it! The little boy who was abducted and taken to Peterborough or somewhere then released, the Notting Hill attacks, ones like that. Thank you so much.
@@sulasmith3352 It's obviously a play on words . I once knew a lady who attended an afternoon handicraft club called ' Bitch and Stitch ' , but that's just Aussie humour for you .
Ian Payne also a very strange case. I agree with your description of the case as well. In fact I would say it’s as weird as anything, going by the reconstruction.
@@dean7652 Ann Heron's husband did not kill her. It was "the man speeding away in a blue car". Micheal Benson. He is now deceased. But at the time was most likely a police informant, the type of criminal who probably had dirt on some higher up cops. Career criminal, in and out of jail, knife freak, & adrenaline junkie. It was a crime of opportunity. Ann would always sunbath at the back of the house, out of view from the road. That very hot day, a farmer was plowing and it was dusty at the back of the house.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 Charlton maintained his innocence and was therefore denied the possibility of release. If he had admitted it he would have been out years ago. He eventually died in prison. South wales police were thoroughly corrupt and numerous wrongful convictions were later overturned, most notably the Cardiff 5
@@RedheadLondon Obviously I wasn't at the trial and don't have an in depth understanding of the evidence. But, remaining and dying in prison when all he had to do was accept guilt and get out after 15 years or so, strongly suggests the mindset of a man who was not prepared to admit to something he HADN'T done. South Wales police fitted up numerous people, here is one of the most egregious cases en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lynette_White
What that copper said on crimewatch about the first murder makes no sense, how do they know Lawrence had a secret life even though they know nothing about it. So how the hell did they come to the conclusion he had a secret life in the first place.
Wayne Taylor...what a disgusting murder. He was doing so well. How must his father feel when Wayne couldn't find him by 7pm. Wayne should have gone straight home to mom at that point but we know children. Good God! He was only 11. And why was the community center disused? What happened there? Micheal Wyatt convicted of 2 child murders.
The amount of crimes that must have been lost and evidence never to be found in scrap yards mainly in South London where criminality is actually passed down from father to son.
So sad that case .. i find it odd no family member talking about her or the husband just some doctor that knew of her this case is horrific all of them are lets be honest no one should be murdered. this case though is so sad she was lonely and ill yet battered to death then set on fire :( it must have been someone she knew ?
@@BlytheWorld1972 Agreed. I know her and her husband didn't have any children, but I can't seem to find any record of her husband's name. According to Unsolved Murders UK he was a composer, tried googling for some results that way but nothing. Presuming he's roughly the same age as Carmel he'd be pushing 80 years old now. There are quite a few Gambles living in Stroud, surely at least a couple of them would be related to him with it being a pretty small town
I can't help but think that back in the late 80s/early 90s the police were a lot keener on catching people who had killed yuppies/professional types. Gay men, prostitutes and pensioners tended to go unsolved. Very sad
If Keith Burgess was in Marble Arch area of London on 15th December having lunch with somebody, then he couldn't have been that sick, yet he didn't go back to work until the Sunday (18th), very odd🤔
Sarinda Gill , £5,000 reward . His family must have been devastated . I used to carry 10 k running money in my pocket back then ! Two marriages and two divorces , means I haven't got a pot . . . now .
Poor Murray, killed in December but not discovered until March. How horrible . They dont actually say how he was killed, i imagine by s&m by the Rhodesian?
Mrs Chester knew something dodgy was going on on the night of Ricky Hayward’s murder. She knew that the noises were gunfire and that red car was out of the ordinary. Yet her husband/brother didn’t want to know. I reckon he knew something dodgy was going on as well but didn’t want to get involved.
I tried googling about the case, and apparently he was a well known drug dealer at the time, and that his shop was just a front for all the shady dealings he was involved with, obviously some of the info could just be speculation, but I'm very sure there's a lot more to this case, and that it should be reinvestigated, maybe Mr Chester knew what type of person Ricky Haywood really was, and took a disliking to him, but she was definitely vigilant, as you said, and knew something was out of the ordinary....
@treasurehunteruk9718 so it wasn't that person outside, who was seen acting suspiciously then, and carrying something under his jacket, or so crimewatch reported?
I wonder if that "fat bald man" who was seen arguing with Ricky in his shop, as well as the person seen loitering outside, were all part of it, or just a red herring?
@@joshuaedwards4536 I thought the vid said they were waiting for him when he arrived home, and the two men running away in the car seen by Mrs Chester were AFTER the murder had been done.
Ann Heron usually sunbathed at the back of the house. On that day a farmer was plowing the field and there was a lot of dust. So Ann took the fatal decision to sunbath in view of the road. Peter Heron was having an affair and their marriage might have been on the rocks. Peter's alibi had holes but I don't believe he did it. There was a police informant named Micheal Benson who was known to drive a blue car at the time. Benson died in 2011 Police never had any witness make an E-fit of the tanned man in the blue car who resembled Benson. I think it would embarrassed the police if their informant or prison escapee had been found guilty of murder. Benson was ruled out as a suspect by police...but it was said that at the time he had escaped prison with the use of his wife's blue Ford Orion.
Lawrence Winstanley's murder is very strange and extremely sad too. Poor young fella shot and burned to death then sunk into a reservoir. His death is so senseless too his car was definitely used in the murder Hence why it was scrapped. Seems a bit strange how police never found anything DNA in the car i know DNA was in it's infancy back then but surely they must not have searched the car enough?? Seeing Lawrence with his mother was sad as it was the last time she would see Lawrence alive again. Hopefully oneday justice for Lawrence and his family can be done. RIP Lawrence Winstanley🙏.
The reconstructions only ever have time to show very brief details of their lives, and there's probably always stuff their family doesn't want broadcast on TV or didn't even know about themselves. In the '80s and '90s there were huge issues with gang violence in the major cities and I agree that a lot of these unsolved murders are probably tangentially related to that.
@Profit Tracker Odd indeed, the only thing that makes sense would be police involvement. It's not as if that has NEVER happened before. If "they" want to find you they will find you, so I can suppose that it went to some official doorsteps somehow and had to destroy evidence and leave a big blank. When logic fails it is almost certainly something corrupt How that would be one can only guess. Innocence is beguiling, and what *seems* is not always what *is* .
I hope the police thoroughly investigated why someone cruelly convinced Paul Stevens they were going to offer him a job just to “wind him up.” That doesn’t seem like something you’d do to someone unless you had a pretty unhealthy dislike for them. Dislike enough to kill them? Perhaps not, but it definitely begs further questions.
Thank God with most councils they now insist on CCTV in bars pubs clubs and takeaways as part of their licence and an individual always available capable of operating it. and insurance companies insist on CCTV at petrol stations.
The Gail Whitehouse murder really hurts me. There's a cultural difference between England and America in terms of sex workers. America was founded by Pruitans....we divide and classify EVERYTHING. Prostitution in England is so accepted.....just part of the fabric of every community and never shut away.
Shocking and disgusting that these heinous crimes are usually committed by men who have previous history of being dangerous and sexually deviant, the justice system desperately needs a correction order...
Yes the body of the girl in Cardiff has been solved. It turned out that a pervert who liked young girls got angry because she wouldn't do what he wanted and strangled her to death and buried her in the garden. It was the carpet he buried her in that really helped convict him.
@@almadavis8274 too many negatives in one sentence; "Its politically correct to speak like a thug/gangster" would have been much better and more clearer.
The case was solved years ago. Like so many kids who disappear from care homes, she fell into prostitution. She was murdered by the people who were "pimping" her out.

The amount of surveillance and cctv these days - plus touch DNA makes it more difficult for killers to get away with crimes than 1980s😅
I note the pub in the Murray Erskine case became residential in 1991. Also looks like the property where he lived is one whole property today and doesn't have the basement as separate living accomodation. How times change!
One thing that people pick up on from these old Crimewatch episodes is how you could smoke anywhere you wanted. I would also point out that people drank a hell of a lot more, there were more pubs and going to the pub was more of a thing in general
Relevance??
@@MosesDeLaRoses
Yup.
Now, even if you smoke out on the street,
these days, people give the evil eye and cough at you.
The only objection I have to smoking in the street?
Please don't light up when walking up the stairs of the tube/subway
And for god's sake don't litter.

Fascinating - thanks for uploading. And thanks for keeping the videotapes for so long! Strange to hear gay people spoken about in that way - 30 years ago must be longer than it feels.
I lived through the 90s and I’m often shocked at what I don’t even remember noticing back then that would rightfully burn my ears off these days…
Not to mention my brains exploding from how some egregious practices, such as an employer openly making a job contingent on Cheers’ Rebecca dating/sleeping with him, were so mundane that it was the episode’s mere SITuation, while it was Rebecca’s _”shallowness of not finding him physically attractive enough to follow through”_ being under indictment that was played for COMedic fodder 🤯
Despite indeed finding Sam’s constant workplace come-ons as humorously pathetic back then as they are objectionable now, I genuinely thought NOTHING of this utterly cockeyed premise at the time. No one did.

Italia 90 so everyone was on a high
Michael Wyatt was convicted of Wayne Taylors murder & attempted murder of the other young boy .My sincere condolences to Wayne's family & friends and I pray the other young boy was able to move on in life & it didn't affect him in any horrible way I pray for you all 🙏🙏❤️❤️🩵🩵
Wayne seemed like a lovely lad.
Carmel Gamble - it just seems a random and very twisted killing. The woman didn't really socialise much, but who was that man she was seen in the electrical store with? Was it a neighbour, someone she may have attended a therapy session with? Furthermore, why did he move away when the shop assistant came out? Was he a known thief? Did he think Carmel had money, "used" her and went to her house to kill her and steal from her? She was obviously a vulnerable and lonely lady, but what was the motive? It just seems odd. I'd love to know who the random in the telephone box was (I do believe someone pretended to be her and stole her coat before she died) and the guy with a carrier bag in the early hours of the morning. I just feel for her and I bet her husband wished he was there that weekend as this could have been prevented.
Keith Burgess - I think the guy with the blue bobble hat killed him. It was either a scorned ex-lover who wasn't "out" (remember being gay had stigma in this era) or someone he befriended who became obsessed. The stolen photoalbum was either pictures of the bobble hat guy and Keith and the evidence probably got destroyed and burned. As for the filofax - other than family members, friends etc - what used would that be? Surely if you had a horrible phonecall or letter from someone saying "I killed x" you'd be on the cops like a shot. Betty seemed lovely if a bit nosy, but a shame she didn't hang around longer to stop what happened or even Janet ran down to raise the alarm. As a side note, "Betty's flat" was the then home of a friend of a former associate of mine. She got a handsome sum of money for the reconstruction. Same associate had her house used for an episode of Casualty in Bristol during the early years. She used the money to buy baby stuff and a cot for her first child!
Sadly, I can't see either being solved anytime soon. If the killers are alive, I hope they are suffering and realise what pain they've inflicted on the families and friends of Carmel and Keith. If they are dead, I hope they suffered.
One thing I don't think they picked up on, but the blue and white hat in Bristol, means they are highly likely to have been a Bristol Rovers fan. As for Keith, he would have been sacked eventually for drinking before work. I work for the railway and it became a sackable offence in the early 90's to come to work, with alcohol in your blood stream. Carmel, very sad, highly likely an opportunist crime from someone who knew her in some way. Thinking she would have money and was alone in the house and as she was so underweight, would have provided no resistance.
@@wearecity You'd be surprised thinking if Rovers were playing that weekend at home, wouldn't they have liased with fans or the club if they noticed this man attend. Yeah, I thought that but just assumed it was different rules in 1989. It's not professional isn't it? It's far from a sexual liaison as Mr Burgess was in a rush to head to work. I do think it was a scorned ex or someone whom got obsessed with him and went too far. It was the way he was presenting himself before he killed Keith as well. Hiding his face and looking uneasy. Carmel, I do believe the same as you. Seemed as if she was taken advantage of by an opportunitist whom thought she was rich and killed a vulnerable and very ill woman.
25 years after Carmel was murdered, an 82 year old man named Dennis Plater was stabbed to death by his former gardener, a 48 year old man called David Hall. Dennis Plater's house is practically next door to the cottage Carmel was staying in when she was murdered. I don't believe that's any coincidence.
I didn't realise how much serious crime there was here in the 90's
There had been a rise in serious crime from the 1960s onwards and it really exploded in the 1980, and then had another rise in the early 90s as another recession kicked in. From about 2003 crime started to go down and down - we actually now have the lowest levels of crime in history.
The Asian bloke playing surinder gill was in coronation Street he played Jimi mistrys dad in the show
The sighting of Surinder Gill at Comet must have been a mistake or a lie. If I were to guess, I'd say he had some shady business dealings. I feel sorry for his family and daughter. To think she's probably in her 30's now and would have never recovered from losing her father.
I agree. It couldn’t have been him in Comet. Not on that day anyway.
None of it really seems to make any sense, he's hijacked during the daytime, kidnapped for hours, turns up at a comet shop in the evening, to discuss buying a new phone, disappears again without informing his family of his whereabouts, and is then found stabbed to death the following morning, shady dealings to do with his insurance broker business, maybe, but I think there's a lot more to it, and the case needs reopening and re-investigating, hopefully justice can be truly gained for his family one forthcoming day....
@@joshuaedwards4536 In case you never saw it, but in a later program, they said the Comet guy was mistaken about the date. So basically he was abducted and then after sometime murdered and didn't speak to anyone in between.
@@wearecityno i didnt see that update at all, the only update i remember was that it was confirmed 4 men were sat waiting in a car, along that street where he was overpowered and abducted, i assume was either the week or month after it was 1st broadcasted, i did read in one article that his death may have had something to do with the "holy smokes" gang, could be just speculation, but also maybe another lead into this mysterious unnecessary death....

Career criminal, in and out of jail, knife freak, & adrenaline junkie.

What that copper said on crimewatch about the first murder makes no sense, how do they know Lawrence had a secret life even though they know nothing about it.
So how the hell did they come to the conclusion he had a secret life in the first place.
Wayne Taylor...what a disgusting murder.
He was doing so well.
How must his father feel when Wayne couldn't find him by 7pm.
Wayne should have gone straight home to mom at that point but we know children.
Good God! He was only 11.

The Carmel Gamble case is utterly baffling. Can't find anything on her apart from what was revealed on Crimewatch
So sad that case .. i find it odd no family member talking about her or the husband just some doctor that knew of her this case is horrific all of them are lets be honest no one should be murdered. this case though is so sad she was lonely and ill yet battered to death then set on fire :( it must have been someone she knew ?
@@BlytheWorld1972 Agreed. I know her and her husband didn't have any children, but I can't seem to find any record of her husband's name. According to Unsolved Murders UK he was a composer, tried googling for some results that way but nothing. Presuming he's roughly the same age as Carmel he'd be pushing 80 years old now. There are quite a few Gambles living in Stroud, surely at least a couple of them would be related to him with it being a pretty small town
Read something about a killer called Christopher Gore being a possible suspect
@@BlytheWorld1972 Aaaaah, silly me. Just rewatched her case and her husband's name is/was David. David Gamble. That does narrow things down a lot
I can't help but think that back in the late 80s/early 90s the police were a lot keener on catching people who had killed yuppies/professional types. Gay men, prostitutes and pensioners tended to go unsolved. Very sad

Mrs Chester knew something dodgy was going on on the night of Ricky Hayward’s murder. She knew that the noises were gunfire and that red car was out of the ordinary. Yet her husband/brother didn’t want to know. I reckon he knew something dodgy was going on as well but didn’t want to get involved.
I tried googling about the case, and apparently he was a well known drug dealer at the time, and that his shop was just a front for all the shady dealings he was involved with, obviously some of the info could just be speculation, but I'm very sure there's a lot more to this case, and that it should be reinvestigated, maybe Mr Chester knew what type of person Ricky Haywood really was, and took a disliking to him, but she was definitely vigilant, as you said, and knew something was out of the ordinary....
@@joshuaedwards4536 It said he had extensive security but he got home and the killers were already inside! So much for his security.

@@joshuaedwards4536 I thought the vid said they were waiting for him when he arrived home, and the two men running away in the car seen by Mrs Chester were AFTER the murder had been done.

Was the first and second case solved?
unsolved and unsolved
Colette Aram was the 1st and that was solved, I don’t know the second.
Ann Heron usually sunbathed at the back of the house.
On that day a farmer was plowing the field and there was a lot of dust.
So Ann took the fatal decision to sunbath in view of the road.
Peter Heron was having an affair and their marriage might have been on the rocks.
Peter's alibi had holes but I don't believe he did it.
There was a police informant named Micheal Benson who was known to drive a blue car at the time. Benson died in 2011
Police never had any witness make an E-fit of the tanned man in the blue car who resembled Benson.
I think it would embarrassed the police if their informant or prison escapee had been found guilty of murder.
Benson was ruled out as a suspect by police...but it was said that at the time he had escaped prison with the use of his wife's blue Ford Orion.
Lawrence Winstanley's murder is very strange and extremely sad too.
Poor young fella shot and burned to death then sunk into a reservoir.
His death is so senseless too his car was definitely used in the murder
Hence why it was scrapped.
Seems a bit strange how police never found anything DNA in the car i know DNA was in it's infancy back then but surely they must not have searched the car enough??
Seeing Lawrence with his mother was sad as it was the last time she would see Lawrence alive again.
Hopefully oneday justice for Lawrence and his family can be done. RIP Lawrence Winstanley🙏.

These 80s/90s reconstructions make me wonder how of the unsolved murders are gang related. The first two definitely are
yeah if not gang related then certainly underworld connections
Definitely. Especially since they were shot and guns were hard to get back then.
indeed very few occasions people get killed for "no reason", there is always some latent cause hidden for good reason.
The reconstructions only ever have time to show very brief details of their lives, and there's probably always stuff their family doesn't want broadcast on TV or didn't even know about themselves. In the '80s and '90s there were huge issues with gang violence in the major cities and I agree that a lot of these unsolved murders are probably tangentially related to that.
@Profit Tracker Odd indeed, the only thing that makes sense would be police involvement. It's not as if that has NEVER happened before. If "they" want to find you they will find you, so I can suppose that it went to some official doorsteps somehow and had to destroy evidence and leave a big blank. When logic fails it is almost certainly something corrupt How that would be one can only guess. Innocence is beguiling, and what *seems* is not always what *is* .
The music to crime watch us to scare me. When I was younger.. like the ten o'clock news that music scared me to...
What about 999 with Michael Burke?
I hope the police thoroughly investigated why someone cruelly convinced Paul Stevens they were going to offer him a job just to “wind him up.” That doesn’t seem like something you’d do to someone unless you had a pretty unhealthy dislike for them. Dislike enough to kill them? Perhaps not, but it definitely begs further questions.
