HC Deb 03 May 1990 vol 171 cc668-9W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will call for a report on the progress of investigations into the murder of Hilda Murrell, of Shrewsbury, on 21 March 1984.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The investigation into the death of Miss Hilda Murrell is an operational matter for the police. However, I understand from the Chief Constable of West Mercia that a suspect has been identified and papers have been forwarded to the Crown prosecution service which is considering the matter.
