On Tuesday (1 July) Ryland Headley was jailed for life for the rape and murder of Louisa Dunne.

The only problem is that Headley is 92, and the crime he committed was in 1967, meaning he has escaped justice for 58 years.

In today’s Substack I will tell you how Headley was caught and take you back in time for another murder trial - which I attended - which involved another very, very cold case - the murder of Eileen Cotter (pictured below left, with Louisa Dunne).
