Elsa Hannaway

Elsa Hannaway was found naked in Whitworth Park, Rusholme and later died in hospital on 30 October 1987.

She had been beaten and raped. It was thought that she had been kicked unconscious and then dragged 100 yards into the park where she was raped. She had severe internal injuries, brain damage and lost a tooth. However, it was noted that she had been the victim of such a horrifying sex ordeal that detectives refused to reveal the full extent of her injuries.
