‘Depraved’ killer, 92, finally jailed for rape and murder cold case after 58 years
A 92 -year -old man who was raped and killed in an old widow in the 1960s was imprisoned for life and said that Britain would die in prison, which was thought to have the longest cold case to be solved.
“Ahrontraved” Ryland Headley was 34 years old when he forced him to open a window in the Easton region of Bristol before he attacked him in June 1967 in his 75 -year -old Louisa Dunne’s house.
About twenty years later, now 92 -year -old Headley was sentenced to life imprisonment at least 20 years after a jury in Bristol Crown Court in the afternoon of Monday.
Ms. Dunne’s grandson, Tuesday, the trial of punishment on Tuesday, Headley’s escape from justice, including the mother and aunt, including how a destructive effect on her family, including her mother and aunt, said.
When his grandmother was killed, Mary Dainton, a 20 -year -old student, said to the court: orum I don’t think my mother had survived her. She blurred the rest of her mother’s brutal rape and murder.
Mr. Justice Sweeting told Headley from Clarence Road from Ipswich to Headley: ız You entered your house, you were sexually assaulted to him, and you may have caused his death in doing so. You may not have aimed to kill him, but you planned to rape him and attacked him brutally.
“The nature of these crimes shows complete disrespect for human life and dignity. Mrs. Dunne was vulnerable, a small woman living alone. You acted as a purpose. He was a brutal and ruthless action by his home, body and ultimately his life.”
“You have violated the sanctity and security of Mrs. Dunne’s house and has the right to feel safe. He must have experienced significant pain and fear before his death.”
The judge passed the punishment and said to the defendant: “You will never be released, you will die in prison.”
Ms. Dunne, who has two mothers, was found dead by neighbors in the front room of the terrace house on the Britannia Road on the morning of June 28, 1967.
A pathologist concluded that Mrs. Dunne had died of asphyxia, probably from a hand held on it because of drowning and pressure on her mouth.
As the power is known at that time, Bristol Constabulary launched a major investigation by taking palm prints of 19,000 men and men to find a match in a window on the upper floor.
However, the case remained for more than 50 years until the Avon and Somrseet police detectives sent elements from the original investigation for the DNA test for the first time.
He survived a blue skirt worn by Mrs. Dunne, matched the DNA of former Railway worker Headley with a rate of billion times more than anyone else.

When the left palm pressure finally received, in November last year, he matched the pressure at the scene.
Since the murder of Mrs. Dunne, she had moved her Headley family to Ipswich and in October 1977, after pushing open windows in their homes, she was imprisoned for raping two elderly women.
On Tuesday, Judge Headley exhibited a “creepy behavior model ve, and it was not“ regret or shame for any of his crimes.
Mr. Justice Sweeting showed the defendant the “permanent generation effect of his crimes on Mrs. Dunne’s family. He said: “The fact that the crime was not solved and the fact that you stayed for a long time united his pain.”
