Sex: female

Date: 8 Apr 1969

Place: Heather, Coalville, Leicestershire

Annie Walker was found dead in her front room on 2 April 1969.

When she was found she was in her nightdress. It was thought that she had been beaten about the head with a blunt edged weapon but the murder wepon was never found.

It was thought that her murderer had stolen £1,000 in cash from her home as she had just been to the bank to withdraw that amount earlier that day and no trace of it was found.

She was a former pub landlady and had lived alone.

A 30-year-old man was suspected but there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.

Her murder was known as the 'Coronation Street Murder'.
