I heard yesterday that there was someone in custody for this murder, in fact I think there was more than one? Just shows that after nearly 30 years, crimes aren't just forgotten. I vividly remember the riots at Broadwater Farm, just dreadful :-( |

I find it hard to believe this dreadful murder was nearly 30 years ago, and how I can remember that night so well :-( |

I remember it , but my dad had died the month before so maybe that's why. So glad that they have got someone for it wonder if it was not a policeman though would they have given up a long time ago |

There are a good few murders that have been solved years later Linda, not Policeman related, I don't think they ever give up, in trying to solve murders, nor should they. |

Since DNA evidence became available, a lot of unsolved cases have been re-opened. I think quite a lot have been solved, although they don't all make the headlines. |
