A 92-year-old man who raped and murdered an elderly widow in the 1960s has been jailed for life and told he will die in prison, in what is thought to be the UK’s longest-running cold case ever to be solved.
“Depraved” Ryland Headley was 34 when he forced open a window at the home of Louisa Dunne, 75, in the Easton area of Bristol overnight in June 1967. A court heard the former railway worker raped the frail mother-of-two before he killed her by strangling her.
