I posted a little while ago about my brothers first book about some murders of young girls that took place in South Wales in the early 1920’s
Every Mother's Nightmare: Abertillery in Mourning (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Every-Mothers-Nightmare-Abertillery-Mourning/dp/190596711X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1225831261&sr=1-3) by Neil Milkins In the book, Neil tells of the eventual fate of Jones, his return visits to Abertillery in later years and raises the intriguing question whether he was responsible for further murders including Swansea schoolgirl Muriel Drinkwater in 1946 and the 1960’s murders by Jack The Stripper in London where Jones was living at the time under a different name.
The police in South Wales and Scotland Yard in London have been investigating some of the lines of inquiry that has come to light as a result of the 16 years investigative work done as research for the book.
On the news tonight I caught the back end of a news story that the police have used new DNA techniques to analyse the oldest samples taken from a crime scene and are about to reveal their result.
RESEARCH into 1920s Abertillery double murderer Harold Jones has led to an investigation involving the world’s oldest crime scene stain.

Hi Kev, Heard the news story on radio 2 at 5 o' clock this evening.

I have always been interested by old crime storys and and to have one of the crime of the century solved by an effort made by my brother would make me very proud indeed.
I spoke to him tonight and he missed the evening news and we both missed the late news, so neither the wiser, but some more information about Manchester and Dundee is required .
Watch this space.
