Harry Howell

On the 5th of November 1988, 74 year old Harry Howell was seen out and about in the town of Blackpool where he lived. Harry was sociable, loved to put on a bet and go for a pint but he was also a creature of habit and enjoyed his usual routine. It was thought that he had gone home that night as usual nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Around 2 weeks later though his battered body was found in his flat. He had been murdered and everyone now looked at that day, the 5th of November, a little differently. Harry's murder is sadly still unsolved.
