Derbyshire’s Peak District has long been a popular destination for tourists seeking fresh air and beautiful countryside…

Description

He was unbelievably brutal and equally careless – police hunting the satanic Night Stalker soon realised that. But catching the curly-haired Hispanic killer whose heinous crime spree in mid-80s California destroyed so many lives was a different matter. Neighbourhoods in California were horrified by the killings and terrified by the prospect of becoming victims themselves. When Richard Ramirez was finally captured, his trial proved a sensation.

Derbyshire’s Peak District has long been a popular destination for tourists seeking fresh air and beautiful countryside. In 1945 the historic village of Castleton made headlines for very different reasons. See Murder In Your Village – Double Death At The Tourist Café  to find out how.
Enjoy the read!
