much more, with pictures, at Sunday Mail link aboveA woman claims that hypnosis revealed she shot dead a farmer who she believes raped her - nearly 40 years ago.
Janet Holt, 64, has been questioned by police over her claim that she had buried the memories of the killing until she went for therapy decades later.
Her business partner Fred Handford, then 56, vanished from Ball Beard Farm in Buxton, Derbyshire, in 1976. Despite a huge police search he was never found.

Miss Holt said the recollection was terrifyingly clear - she shot Fred after he twice raped her, then put his body in a wheelbarrow and buried him on their farm.
Police arrested and interviewed her in 2011 after she went to officers and told them where she believed she buried the body.
But after extensive searches of the 50-acre farm, she was released.

She said, 'I wished I had remembered at the time and confessed and got on with my life.
'The nightmares and uncertainty have been horrendous.'

The case remains open.
