95 years later

Martin Rosenbaum | 11:25 UK time, Monday, 26 February 2007

My experience of making freedom of information requests to the Police about old unsolved cases is that they often refuse on the basis that the investigation could be reopened - even when the age and circumstances of the case make it grossly implausible that there is any realistic chance of this happening.

But I've not encountered anything quite like this case , in which apparently Tayside Police have refused to release documents relating to a murder 95 years ago because it is still unsolved. Let's hope they catch the murderer soon.

Sir,

Would the perpetrator be still among the upright standing member of society after all these years? The police might look for the baddie in the cemetery.

95 years? Wow. Might unsolved murder be at all related to the non release of said papers. Is the first detective hoping to solve the homicide in a later incarnation perhaps?

Like some shoe mender who is reminded of a pair of shoes given in for repair 4 decades before, to his late grandfather - a Tayside Police representative may say - "Yeah right! They will be ready next Tuesday"
