Nine arrests were made but none of the arrested people was charged over the Valentine's Day killing. ģ8-year-old Joseph McEwan was found dead or dying with bullet wounds in his head at his Aldridge Road address. A forensic re-examination of the car in 2012 did not give detectives the breakthrough they were hoping for. The 51-year-old taxi driver vanished on 3 February and his Ford Sierra was found abandoned with bloodstains inside it in a car park at Heathrow Airport (some miles from Whyteleafe, the Surrey village where his home was) on 12 February. He had been walking home after a night out drinking and was attacked at around 12.20 am. Ĥ8-year-old Fitzmaurice was stabbed to death with a stiletto knife at or near his home on 3 February 1990. Events surrounding his murder were reconstructed on Crimewatch in April 1990. He was found stabbed to death in his car in Beavers Open Space, Hounslow.

Surinder Gill was an insurance salesman who drove a distinctive modified dark red Mercedes with 16 GLL on its number plate. There are suspicions that her attacker tricked his way in by pretending to be a gasman or some other type of official. Her pension money was missing from the house, along with a ring and an amber paperweight. It is likely that the person who delivered the fatal blows to her head had an accomplice, for a witness reported having seen two men (one with a clipboard) talking to Kellett on her doorstep about 45 minutes before her home help discovered her body. ĭoris Kellett was a 92-year-old who was hammered to death in her own home. Nobody has been tried for Brosnan's murder or manslaughter, but the nurse and a colleague of hers did get convicted of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. A Home Office pathologist concluded that Brosnan had struggled with an attacker before suffocating to death as a result of being pressed face-down into bedding. The nurse who reported the death claimed at first that Brosnan had suffered a cardiac arrest, but later changed her story to say that the deceased had used tights to hang herself from the bedhead. ħ0-year-old Bridget Brosnan died in a hospital's psychiatric ward.

The cause of death was asphyxia, and it is believed he died the day before police found his body. In the period leading up to his death, he was tortured by being hit with a hammer and having his back stamped or kneeled on, suffering broken ribs as a consequence. Because the flat had been ransacked, and because Howe had tens of thousands of pounds hidden in a safe there (which the offender/s did not find), robbery is thought to have been the motive for the killing. The body of the 63-year-old retired vet was found tied up in his flat on 9 January. Main article: List of unsolved murders in the United Kingdom 1990s Year
