Crimewatch UK May 1997 and Update

[@filfvideos]

Nicola Dixon was murdered by Colin Waite. A father of three who had a list of charges for assault. In the inquest they ascertained that injuries on Nicola's neck meant she had managed to escape Waite, before he caught up with her and raped and killed her. Following the murder Waite wound up getting jailed for breaking his missus' jaw, his DNA swab was incorrectly packaged so was deemed unusable and while he was imprisoned they didn't get another DNA swab from him. At the time Birmingham police had been checking the DNA database for matches with the DNA found at the scene, but Waite's slipped through the net. It wasn't until Waite was released and then arrested again for a road rage incident that his DNA was taken and they found the match. One positive legacy from this case was that it made DNA swabs from prisoners a matter of course.

It also led to a change in the law so that 'spoiled' DNA swabs could be retaken from the relevant person/suspect.

Carol Fyfe, the landlady of the Prince Arthur, was murdered by Gregory Mills a 28 year old Australian barman. Mills had been employed by Fyfe at the pub, she had put him up and invited him for Christmas giving him presents. Mills worked at the pub for just under a year, before leaving a fortnight before the murder. Fyfe had caught a balaclava clad Mills raiding the safe, where he knew where the keys were kept, Fyfe managed to remove the balaclava and was battered with a rolling pin and then stabbed to death. Mills skipped the country and was arrested for speeding by a state trooper in Colorado, state trooper Mike Miller ended up being given a certificate of commendation by the Met for his police work. Colorado had a computerised wanted list and because Interpol had launched a three month operation Mills' name was on that. He got life imprisonment

His photo fit sure was pretty accurate too!

[@jeanettehinds4253]

Do me a favour. Could you go under all the crimewatch videos and give us an update? It's the most frustrating part when you don't know what happened.😂😂

[@dickiegreenleaf750]

Perps sure changed from the earlier episodes in the late 90s. Not surprised

[@sheilacarter7875]

Watching Jill Dando appealing for witnesses to a murder is sad.When you think two years after this in 1999 she was herself murdered on her doorstep.Yet 25 years later her murder is still unsolved.

[@sheilacarter7875]

Rest in peace Jill❤

[@ashleymartin4512]

i started to watch this episode forgetting that one of the presenters was jill dando seeing her and knowing what happened 2 years later its hard to believe that she's no longer around........

[@nicholasprince2697]

While the Earls Court Attempted Rape (1:26) is a very serious matter, the video-fit of the assailant does look like Rav Wilding.

[@LANCSKID]

Certainly does … Rav The Chav!

[@gower23]

Outstanding witness who produced the e-fit of Greg Mills 👏

[@ashleymartin4512]

loved the cream coloured outfit worn by jill in this episode she looked immaculate such a part of british life she has left such a huge void that can never be filled...........

Anyone know why my TV isn’t providing Ceefax? …

[@michealhand1001]

Was the motive murder made to look like Robbery.As was said a senseless murder .And who took over the pub?.did they hire someone?

[@LANCSKID]

A senseless murder. What, as against a ‘sensible’ one? …

[@leebow7357]

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."

Just when you think he may have commented something half decent, you find he's copied & pasted the same old boring nonsense again.
