  1. Hi
    How can I get more info on the case of parveen Akhtar murder 2nd April 1993. There is very little information available on your website.

  2. I would like to find more info on the fate of Clive Moore who shot Sarah ann Moore and Gwyneth Swan (her mother) in Stainforth S. Yorks on 8 May 1994.

    1. Detained indefinitely at Rampton High Secure Hospital for the double manslaughter of Sara Ann (29) and her mother Gwyneth (64) on the grounds of diminished responsibility due to schizophrenia at Holmefield Farm, Stainforth. That farm was at the end of Hugh Hill Lane, opposite what is nowadays Travelodge Doncaster M18.
