    FORTY-YEAR-OLD CASE BELIEVED SOLVED AFTER MURDERER CONFESSES

    On Thursday, 23 November 1989, a corpse was discovered in an unused attic at Saint Hilarion’s Catholic boarding school. Exhibiting signs of both hypothermia and internal bleeding, the corpse was immediately identified as Charles Stephen Rowland, a year 12 who had been missing for the past three days. According to testimonies from other pupils at the school, the cause of death was ruled a suicide despite a lack of concrete evidence to prove it so.

    However, last Monday (the sixteenth of April), wealthy Chelsea landlord Richard Heyes fell ill and was taken to the Chelsea and Westminster A&E after his wife dialled 999. He was found to have several ruptured brain aneurysms, which he had been aware of but refused to treat due to religious reasons. On his deathbed, he confessed to the 35-year-old murder.

    Some suspects in the case have been detained and brought in for questioning about their whereabouts on the night of November 21, 1989. There have been no conclusive results as of yet.

    A second funeral ceremony will be held on April 24 at the Brompton Cemetery Green.

    Mr and Mrs Paul Rowland have declined comment for the time being.
