Kim Roberts was raped and murdered in 1964. A man was arrested 40 years later but there is no conclusion.
She went missing from her home in Stepney Way, Mile End whilst playing outside and was found 15 miles away in Watts Wood in a sandpit by two boys who were out rambling. One of the boys who found her said 'I was walking by a sandpit when I suddenly saw this girl in a brown coat. She was in a ditch on a bed of ivy on her side huddled up. I didn't move her at all. I called my friend. We ran to the nearest telephone and dialled 999.'.
