Thank you redcard74, you never let us Crimewatcher’s down. I love our little Crimewatch family, seeing the same people pop up every evening. Hey everyone!! 👋🕵🏻♀️
Lorraine Benson did everything right bless her. It's never wrong place, wrong time. It's right place, right time and nobody has got the right to touch you. RIP Lorraine
I’m watching this in December 2019 on the election night… Needed some light relief so turn to crime watch… It’s great program thank you for sharing it with us
Lorraine Benson's killer was John Dunne, who was 19 at the time, and already convicted of the rape of a mother whom he battered with an iron. He served three years for that as young offender before attacking Lorraine. Police matched DNA from bite marks on Lorraine's arm. Dunne was sentenced to life but I found an article that a parole hearing was planned in 2005 to move him to an open prison age 47. I cannot find the outcome to this but Lorraine's father Michael protested stating, 'The police described Dunne as ''clever and devious.'' When he was arrested for Lorraine’s murder his reaction was, ‘'Oh, back to those four square walls again, '' then he smiled. I remember every minute of the days after my daughter’s murder. I was told Dunne would sit through days of questioning like butter wouldn’t melt, he is downright evil.'
19-Dec-20 today - I remember Lorraine every year. I am SO sorry for your loss. I didn't know Lorraine but would have worked with her and I lived close by to that alley. Colleagues and my cousin knew her. It really bothered a lot of us. My neighbour's young lad cycled through the alley in the morning (to his paper 'round) and was very deeply traumatised when he later learned about what happened. A few years before, we had a murder in Cambridge Road, a bit further along from the allotments, opposite Cambridge Close. I witnessed that: it was murder, not manslaughter, no question. The murderer was Dean Harris. He received only six years for that murder. It's all just depressing. If you google "Dean Harris murder", you find his namesake's killing of a child. Words just escape me. In principle, I oppose capital punishment. But every time I hear John Dunne's name and think of Rachel Nickell and Richard Baker's murders, amongst so very many, I think these specimens should simply be terminated. Just get rid of the rubbish. At the VERY, ABSOLUTE, least, "life" should mean life imprisonment. We've not had a single government who've meant it when they claim they'll get tough on crime.
@@trebor9711 I've seen it on a Netflix series. John Dunne had a heavy cold at the time and they had a DNA profile from the snot rag he left at the scene
The guy in the first clip is my fav criminal, a comedy genius. “Yeah it looks alright, I’ll give you the full amount”. “There are a few things I should let you know about”. “It’s ok, I only need it for one job” 😆
Lorraine was my cousin, my father was selfish and ignorant as he couldn't get thru his head why his brother mick was so bad from then on, and he felt mick should just get over it, but shows the difference between brothers , remember all the camera crews at the funeral, then confused when we got back to micks afterwards and he was in the kitchen talking to people but was on the tele at the same time, i was 7 years old, i feel this is why i had so much 'respect women' while i was growing up,
Wow, that would be bank robber is totally inept-did he seriously think a bank could get all the money together in four minutes & dump it in a running car? Did he honestly not think to kidnap him & her in the night? Problem is he was obviously working on his own-there was no gunman up the lane, no accomplices & he had no brains.
Evening Crimewatchers! I'm still playing catch up (I like to watch them in order), so should get to this one tomorrow night. Redcard pulls it out of the bag again, and never lets us down :)
Sadly yes - I was a student about nine years later and travelled by train from Edinburgh to Truro. Due to some administrative arse-up my reserved seat was in the smoking carriage and the train was standing room only. I felt I’ll for days with all the cigarettes I passively smokes during that eight hours or so.
AAron Thom Just did a bit of research (as I’m a sad sack) and smoking on trains wasn’t banned until 2005. However it was banned on tube trains in 1987 following the Kings Cross disaster.
Yes To think The Health Act 2006 Royal assent was July 19 2006 which banned smoking in public places came into affect Chapter 1 - Smoke-free premises, places and vehicles in Scotland on March 26 2007 in Northern Ireland on April 30 2007. Wales on April 2 2007 and England July 1 2007. And October 1 2007 Chapter 2 - Age of sale for tobacco etc Section 13 granted the Secretary of State the power to increase the age for purchasing tobacco from 16 to 18, which came into force on 1 October 2007. And a new legislation came into effect From 1 October 2015, the new legislation in England and Wales makes it illegal to smoke in a vehicle carrying someone who is under 18. It is now also against the law for a driver not to stop someone smoking in these circumstances. The fine for both offences is £50. How times have rightly changed.
I may have seen them when they were originally transmitted, but if I did I can't remember any of these cases from 1989 thus far. Same with 1990, 1991 & 1992.
I thought that from May ‘88 until deep into the 90s I hadn’t missed an episode but I don’t have any memory of anything from this episode or the January one. I definitely remember the Michael Fahy reconstruction which is coming up later in ‘89.
Such a shame that George didn’t wait for Lorraine to make her phone call and then either walk with her or wait with her for her friend to meet her. Still hindsight is a wonderful thing.
At 11.10 Nick says they caught a couple who stole £65,000 cos it was reported by a woman who saw them on Crimewatch. This crime may never have been solved otherwise. Another reason why it should not have been discontinued. I realise figures were only a quarter of the originals, but it still served a purpose.
It's been back on in the mornings now for many years but it's very different because crime is very different now. The official Office of National Statistics (ONS) 2023 stats showed that crime was actually at its lowest ever levels. Violent crime in particular has really declined since its peak in 1995 and the crime that there is has tended to move online - meaning that witness appeals like Crimewatch are not of much use. So many of the crimes featured in these 1980s Crimewatch episodes either don't really happen today (like the securicor hold ups, or child abductions off the street) or would be solved very quickly and easily these days with things like CCTV, DNA and mobile phone records.
Nick always keeps telling us the crimes are 'unusual'. Rapes, abductions, murders etc - yeah! This programme is full of such crimes, and half of them are still unsolved thirty years later ............
They were the worse ones all brought together from months of investigation that was going no where so they turn to crimewatch for help… if you’re such an expert why don’t you solve them sherlock.
@@Thenorthsace Yes, I know they were crimes the police needed extra help with. The point is: EVERY MONTH there were crimes they couldn't solve, enough to fill a programme, for YEARS!!!!!! NOT SO RARE, IS IT?????
Britain had the highest level of violent crime in Europe in the 1980s. Much more violent era than people care to remember. Still, worth remembering that the population was over 50 million back then, so still pretty rare.
Could the attempted bank robber be an early attempt by Michael Sams who went on to kidnap the estate agent Stephanie Slater?. Seems to be similar in the fact both a car and a motorbike were used in the crime. Also he told the police when caught he was not working alone but refused to name the other man when in fact he was working alone. He also phoned the police and Stephanie's parents a number of times with his ransom demands . This is how he was eventually caught when i think it was his ex wife phoned in after a recording of his voice was played on crimewatch and she recognized it.
Sarah Sea I’m wondering if the girlfriend/ wife of the guy she wanted to come and meet her hired someone to kill her? In a fit of rage and jealousy? Xx
I imagine he didn't stick around too long after Lorraine was murdered. And if Sarah (or "Sarah" - that name could be being assumed for any number of reasons) _did_ hear of the murder, I wouldn't be surprised if she put two and two together, and declined the offer for obvious reasons.
Everyone was so much more alert to their surroundings even in the 90s! People seem to remember people walking past and all sorts helping solve crimes on these older shows with cracking descriptions and details, now days if you ain’t got a ring door bell people can’t remember seeing anything, everyone is so busy with their minds full I guess relying on technology
It has to be said though that eye witness accounts have always been notoriously unreliable. Lots of evidence over the years about how badly people remember things. It's therefore a million times better that so many things can be caught on camera, or on mobile phones rather than eye witness.
Good old Derby in the first crime. Alvaston has changed alot since 1989. The natwest bank isn't in Alvaston anymore. Think it's still a bank but definitely not Natwest.
I have fond memories of Alvaston, not least because it's the only British town to have been mentioned in the title of a Glen Campbell song. Or was that Ulverston? th-cam.com/video/ZTbTHlTmDX8/w-d-xo.html Oh, well - it was close :-)
It's not so much the crimes which at paramount, I do find myself googling if they've been caught! Stepping back in time, the clobber, cars, peoples attitude plus the bizzies were old school then. The world's changed so quickly, at least the most horrific crimes can be solved now through DNA, one positive.
Indeed. If you're a decent soul...we can live our lives and should so happily, we only get one, I'm not giving mine up through fear, I'm not scared, I'm scared of what will happen in future generations. Needs to be stopped, NOW!
What a criminal mastermind that armed bank robber is, he wore a mask during the robbery, but 30 mins earlier walked into a business & took their letter headed paper for his robbery note, all on camera. We won't need Sherlock Holmes for this case...
There's another video on TH-cam talking to a gangster from that time. He said by the late 80s, only idiots tended to do armed robbery like that. The security was starting to get tighter and other gangsters realised they could make much more money from drugs.
Here is a recent article talking to her parents, in one of the photos/ she looks like an old granny. www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/5845757/parents-blast-decision-to-free-taxi-rapist-jon-worboys-after-their-daughter-was-sexually-assaulted-and-murdered-by-convicted-teen-rapist
Think this has to be the most memorable one! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1356155/Supergran-Ann-Timson-foiled-armed-gang-handbag-says-shes-just-mad.html
With Lorriane Benson’s murder it did seem strange she wanted that guy to meet her? ( a part from safety) and why was she going to see him off at the airport the next day? But it’s very sad for her loved ones even though the culprit was eventually caught rip Xx
Psycho18C Yes, John Dunne was sentenced to life in April 1989. He served 3 years in a treatment centre prior to murdering Lorraine for the rape of another woman. He became eligible for parole in 2006 but still remains in prison (but was moved to an open prison in 2017).
Psycho18C He is still in prison at the moment but I believe the move to an open prison is to ‘prepare him for life outside’. Whether parole will ever be granted remains to be seen.
The first robbery of the Building Society gave a good picture of the thief.We were given his description with everything except his ethnicity.Now he looks mixed race on the video ,but are we supposed to infer that for ourselves or just rely on his dimensions which fit about one hundred thousand men,white ,black and all skin colour.Is it against the law to point out an alleged thief's obvious ethnicity only when the thief is white,which seems to be always pointed out!

Don't think that's true at all. Eye witness accounts have always been absolutely notorious for being wrong.
Half the country now walks around the big cities with music playing in their ears.
It has to be said though that eye witness accounts have always been notoriously unreliable. Lots of evidence over the years about how badly people remember things. It's therefore a million times better that so many things can be caught on camera, or on mobile phones rather than eye witness.

With Lorriane Benson’s murder it did seem strange she wanted that guy to meet her? ( a part from safety) and why was she going to see him off at the airport the next day? But it’s very sad for her loved ones even though the culprit was eventually caught rip Xx
She was only 22... Still really young and a bit immature at that age. I know I was.
@@weaponofmassconstruction1940 Yeah just didn’t understand why she was going to see that guy off? Xx
@@katemissfilanpurrmcdevitt I guess in those days, such long distance travel was unusual. Who knows?
Are you deaf ? It stated she was going to the airport to see a friend off that was going to AUS

Psycho18C Yes, John Dunne was sentenced to life in April 1989. He served 3 years in a treatment centre prior to murdering Lorraine for the rape of another woman. He became eligible for parole in 2006 but still remains in prison (but was moved to an open prison in 2017).
Helen Compton Bad idea moving him to an open prison. He is still a danger to people.
Psycho18C He is still in prison at the moment but I believe the move to an open prison is to ‘prepare him for life outside’. Whether parole will ever be granted remains to be seen.
Not sure if you saw my post above but her parents still have her pet tortoise, George (or at least they did as of two years ago).
The first robbery of the Building Society gave a good picture of the thief.We were given his description with everything except his ethnicity.Now he looks mixed race on the video ,but are we supposed to infer that for ourselves or just rely on his dimensions which fit about one hundred thousand men,white ,black and all skin colour.Is it against the law to point out an alleged thief's obvious ethnicity only when the thief is white,which seems to be always pointed out!
