Carmel Gamble was murdered at her cottage in Stroud on Saturday evening 11 November 1989, the day before Remembrance Sunday. She was found early the following morning shortly after 8.20am.
She was beaten about the head with a heavy, rounded, blunt instrument and her body was then disfigured with a sharp instrument such as a knife. It was said that there was a lot of anger involved in her murder. After her murder, her cottage was set on fire and it was the fire brigade that discovered her body. Neither the blunt instrument nor the sharp instrument were ever found.
