Robina Bolton was found murdered at her flat in Westbourne Terrace, Paddington on 14 January 1956.
A 27-year-old bearded man was tried for her murder but acquitted. It was heard that there was not enough evidence against him and the judge directed the jury to acquit him, saying, 'I must satisfy myself that there is some piece of evidence that is more than mere suspicion. You cannot put a multitude of suspicion together and make proof out of it'.
