A horrific Christmas murder has gone unsolved for over 60 years after a mum was brutally killed in front of her young children.
Maureen Dutton was stabbed to death 14 times at her home in Knotty Ash on December 21, 1961. On the day of her brutal killing the 27-year-old mum had not left the house she shared with husband Brian on Thingwall Lane.
Brian, a research chemist for ICI in Widnes, arrived home at around 6pm expecting to find his wife and young sons waiting for him. But when he arrived he found the home in complete darkness and his family's half eaten lunch strewn across the kitchen table.
