Man, 92, arrested over 1967 rape and murder
The Guardian
|November 20, 2024
A 92-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of raping and murdering a woman in Bristol almost 60 years ago.
Louisa Dunne, 75, was found dead in her home in the Easton area of the city by a neighbour on 28 June 1967. The cause of death was determined to be strangulation and asphyxiation and she had also been raped.
Avon and Somerset police have been reinvestigating the killing and yesterday arrested the man from the Ipswich area of Suffolk on suspicion of murder and rape.
The man, who would have been in his mid-30s when Dunne died, has been taken into custody for questioning.
Police have identified and spoken to members of Dunne's family and are running extra patrols in Easton to reassure the public.
