A 92 -year -old man has been found guilty of rape and murder of a bristle woman in a case that remained unresolved for nearly six decades.
75 -year -old Louisa Dune was strangled on the floor of his living room by a neighbor on Britannia Road in Easton, Bristol on 28 June 1967.
Rayaland Headley, a convict of Clarence Road in Ipswich, has now been convicted of killing Mrs. Duna after a test in the Bristol Crown Court.
Senior Investigating Officer Date Inspector Dave Marchant said that Headley, who was in the 30s, killed Mrs. Duna, “hunters” and said that his other crimes were “equally similar”.
Headley has been sentenced on Tuesday.
He was only associated with the murder of mother-in-law-to-mother in 2023, when the case review exposed the new DNA evidence.
Date Inspector Marchant said that it is now believed that this is the oldest cool case to be solved in the UK.
“This is the wedding of old school and new school policing techniques,” he said.
Mrs. Dunna was a widow twice and lived alone, but was well known in the local area.
Headley was accused of sexually assaulting and then entering his house before he strangled him.
