Breaking News: Arrest in 1967 Bristol Murder Case
In a stunning development, police have arrested a suspect in connection with the 1967 murder of 74-year-old widow Louise Dunne. Found raped and strangled in her Easton, Bristol, home, Louise’s tragic death shocked the local community and left investigators baffled for decades. Despite an extensive investigation that included gathering thousands of palm prints and numerous witness accounts, the case had remained unsolved—until now.
A breakthrough in the decades-long cold case was made following a recent tip-off, leading authorities to make an arrest in connection with the brutal crime. The arrest comes after years of tireless efforts to identify the person responsible for this heinous act, which had left a scar on the fabric of this tight-knit Bristol community.
Louise, once a socialite and wife of a prominent city alderman, had become reclusive following the deaths of her two husbands. Her murder, found by a neighbor after an open window raised suspicion, sent shockwaves through Easton. Despite several leads, including reports of a suspicious man near her home the night before her death, the killer had eluded justice – until now. The arrest brings a new sense of hope that after nearly six decades, Louise’s killer may finally be brought to justice.
Stay tuned as more details unfold.

This episode of Sunday Night Mystery explores the unsolved murder of 71-year-old Les Bate in the peaceful village of Chapel Amble, North Cornwall, in 2002. Known for its lack of violent crime for centuries, the village was shaken by Les's brutal killing, which remains a mystery to this day.
Les, a self-made millionaire and a regular at the local pub, the Maltsters Arms, lived a quiet life on his farm after the death of his wife. On a Friday night in April 2002, he left the pub for his home, only to be found dead two days later by his son, Martin. His death was the result of a sustained beating, with injuries suggesting a violent and deliberate attack. Despite a thorough investigation and an inquest a decade later, the motive and identity of the killer remain unknown.
Theories range from robbery—Les had been burgled seven months prior—to a personal vendetta, possibly tied to his abrasive personality and conflicts in the community. There was no forced entry, leading to speculation that the killer was someone Les trusted or someone familiar with his routine. Evidence, such as fibers found on his clothing, provided limited leads, and advances in DNA technology have yet to yield breakthroughs.
The case has left both Les's family and the village grappling with the possibility that the killer might still live among them. Despite the passage of time, Les's daughter Kathy holds onto hope for justice, while the case serves as a chilling reminder that even the most tranquil communities can harbor dark secrets.
This episode underscores the enduring quest for answers and the shadows of uncertainty surrounding unsolved mysteries.
Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

In tonight's episode of Sunday Night Mystery, Brett explores the case of Suzy Lamplugh.
Suzy Lamplugh, a young and ambitious estate agent, disappeared in 1986 after a scheduled meeting with a mysterious client known only as "Mr. Kipper." Suzy was last seen outside a property in Fulham, London, with a man who appeared suspiciously involved in her disappearance. Later that day, her car was found abandoned with her purse inside, but crucial items like her keys were missing, suggesting foul play.
Several witnesses observed Suzy with a man fitting the description of a convicted rapist and murderer, John Cannan, who soon emerged as a prime suspect due to his similar appearance to the identikit sketch and his history of violence toward women. Cannan had been released on day leave from prison near the time of her disappearance and reportedly frequented the same bars as Suzy, further fueling suspicion. Yet, despite extensive investigations, no definitive evidence has linked him to the crime.
Years later, Cannan was convicted of a separate murder and remains imprisoned. He has denied involvement in Suzy’s disappearance, though he has hinted he may one day reveal more about her case. The mystery around "Mr. Kipper," Suzy's last hours, and Cannan's involvement has left Suzy’s family and the public haunted by questions and longing for answers.

In tonight's episode of Sunday Night Mystery, Brett explores the tragic case of Ann Myring.The disappearance of Ann Myring in 1997 remains a baffling and unresolved case. Ann, a clerical worker from Bristol, vanished after leaving work on June 25, 1997. Her car was found at her home, and her husband initially claimed she had gone to a health farm, but later said she had left him. Ann’s family, especially her mother, was adamant that she would never leave without a word, particularly given her devotion to her children and her ailing mother.
Ann's husband, Brian, was later arrested, along with his lover, Teresa Kempster. While Teresa was released, Brian was charged with murder. He denied the charges, and after a three-week trial, he was acquitted due to lack of forensic evidence. Despite his acquittal, suspicion continued to follow him, leaving him isolated from the community.
The police investigation revealed few leads, and although Ann left behind personal items and her family strongly believed she wouldn’t voluntarily disappear, no concrete evidence of foul play emerged. Theories ranged from her having committed suicide due to her husband’s affair to the possibility that she started a new life, but none of these have been confirmed. Ann's sons, Stephen and David, have never stopped searching for answers, clinging to hope that she might still be alive. However, to this day, her fate remains a mystery.

In this episode of Sunday Night Mystery, Brett revisits the unsolved case of Asha Bostan, a 22-year-old part-time model from Bristol who disappeared in 1978. Asha was preparing for her sister's wedding but mysteriously vanished after a night out with a business client. Fourteen years later, her remains were discovered in a shallow grave in the Mendip Hills.
A prime suspect from the beginning was Yasuo Soma, Asha's obsessive boyfriend, who was the last person to see her alive. Despite suspicious behavior, including fresh scratches on his face after her disappearance, no charges were ever brought against him. Soma tragically committed suicide in 1985, leaving many unanswered questions.
Though Asha's death was ruled as unlawful killing, the lack of concrete evidence meant her case remained unresolved. Former detective Brian Theobald remained convinced that Soma was responsible for Asha's murder, but the case is still open, with authorities hoping for new leads to bring closure to her family.
Brett ends the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of seeking justice for those lost to such tragic circumstances, and encouraging anyone with information to come forward.

In this episode, Brett explores the chilling case of Wayne Lomas, whose mysterious disappearance in 1988 led to the discovery of his body encased in a one-ton slab of concrete five years later.
Lomas, a car dealer and moneylender with ties to organized crime, vanished from his home in Bristol under suspicious circumstances. His house was found in disarray: doors unlocked, his dogs roaming loose, and a meal half-prepared, signs of a sudden and violent departure. Given his criminal connections, authorities believed he had been kidnapped or murdered by gangland figures, but no trace of him was found until October 1993.

In June 1967, 74-year-old widow Louise Dunne was found raped and strangled in her Easton, Bristol, home. A neighbor noticed an open window, leading to the gruesome discovery. Once a socialite and the wife of a city alderman, Louise had become reclusive after the deaths of her two husbands. Her murder shocked the community, as police launched an intense investigation, interviewing neighbors and gathering evidence. A key clue was a palm print found near the window, prompting police to collect thousands of prints from local men, but no match was ever found. Witnesses reported seeing Louise the evening before and a suspicious man near her home in the early hours of the morning, but these leads failed to identify the killer. Despite exhaustive efforts, including questioning local vagrants and conducting forensic analyses, the case remains unsolved, leaving the identity of Louise Dunne's killer a mystery.

This chapter revisits the tragic case of Winifred Locke, an 80-year-old woman who was brutally murdered in October 1983. Winifred, a widow living with Parkinson's Disease, resided in sheltered accommodation in North Petherton. On the day of the crime, her daughter-in-law, Eva, visited her as usual, unaware it would be their final meeting. The next morning, a staff member at the Baymead Meadow assisted living facility discovered Winifred's body after failing to reach her through the intercom. Winifred had been asphyxiated and sexually assaulted, shocking the close-knit community.
A large-scale investigation led by Detective Superintendent Lew Clark saw more than 1,700 local men interviewed, but the killer was never found. The crime remains unsolved, leaving the community haunted and her family without closure. The motive behind this heinous act against an elderly woman remains a mystery, raising questions about whether it was a crime of opportunity or something more sinister. Despite the passage of time, the pain of Winifred's loss endures, and the quest for justice continues, with the hope that someone might still hold the key to solving this decades-old mystery.
