A 92-year-old man on Monday was convicted of the rape and murder of a woman in southwestern England in what is thought to be the UK’s longest-running cold case ever to be solved.
A jury at Bristol crown court found Ryland Headley, then aged 34, guilty of attacking 75-year-old Louisa Dunne in June 1967.
“Louisa Dunne died in a horrifying attack carried out in the place where she should have felt safest — her own home,” prosecutor Charlotte Ream said. “For 58 years, this appalling crime went unsolved and Ryland Headley, the man we now know is responsible, avoided justice.”
