Old Murder Arrest....


Recommended Posts

A 78 year old man has just been arrested for the murder of a 14-year-old girl from Wakefield in the mid 60's and after reading it I'm shocked because of the mans name. His name is Peter Pickering and the surprising part is that a man with the same name and the same age was convicted for the murder of another school girl in South Yorkshire in the early 70's.

 

Now it just might be coincidence but is there any way is indefinite sentence was overturned and he was released without the public being notified? If so is there any way to find out if that's the case? I know there was local outrage when there were rumours that he could be released around 5 years ago.

Its amazing how dna tracing has come on the last few years thats solving a load of old crimes

 

. I have the unenviable claim to having known the first person convicted on DNA in England,the crime was so heinous that I would never have believed it in a million years of the man in question, but the DNA proved it without a shadow of doubt, I bet there are a lot of people out there who thought they were clean away with it, that feel the noose getting tighter with everyone of these cases, and as most of them are nonce,s good riduns the dirty b*****ds
