This is one of those cases to delve into if you find the time; it will richly reward your interest though it is a mystery which may never be solved in spite of a murder conviction in 2005. 78-year-old Hilda Murrell was a fascinating woman, "a rose grower, naturalist, diarist and campaigner against nuclear energy and weapons" (her Wiki page is here, and anyone with interest in the case is recommended to read it for background). In 1984, she was abducted, beaten, stabbed, then succumbed to hypothermia. The question, if one does not accept the approved state narrative, is - by whom? and why?

the rest, with pictures, at link aboveNew doubt has been cast on the conviction of a teenage burglar for the controversial Eighties murder of anti-nuclear campaigner Hilda Murrell.
Her nephew Robert Green, who was a naval commander, has written a book containing details of DNA evidence not disclosed at the trial.
The case has been hotly debated because at the time then Labour MP Tam Dalyell claimed men of British Intelligence were involved.

Some 19 years later, in June 2003, police charged Andrew George, a 35-year-old builders labourer, with Miss Murrells murder.

Cdr Green, Miss Murrells closest living relative, has been given a previously undisclosed witness statement made by a forensic scientist in the case.
The expert, Michael Appleby, says he found DNA on the underside of Miss Murrells fingernails from a male and that it did not match that of George.
According to Cdr Green, this evidence was withheld from the jury at Georges trial but almost certainly would have acquitted George.
