The story of the Glasgow mum whose murder is unsolved three decades later.
IT was the hottest summer for 80 years and Glasgow mum Ann Heron was determined to make the most of the good weather.
The area they lived in was almost crime-free, safe. Everyone knew everyone and hardly anyone bothered to lock their doors. Witnesses later described seeing a man, with a deeply suntanned complexion and in his 30s, driving a blue Ford-type saloon car away from the property at high speed around 5pm. Peter was arrested in 2005 and charged with Ann’s murder following a cold case review of the original evidence and remanded in custody for a short period.
In a newspaper interview in July 2020, Peter, now aged 85, described the horrific scene he found the day he came home from work which he said was ‘forever etched’ on his memory.He recalled: “The first thing I noticed when I drove up the drive that day was the door was open and the dog was outside. Jen discovered that Benson had bases in his hometown of Leeds – a 45-minute drive from Darlington – and Southampton.He was given a life sentence in December 1972 for grievous bodily harm.
One letter also made a reference to Parkgate, an area of Southampton where Benson had lived with his wife.“Police were working on a basis popular at the time that the victim, statistically speaking, would have known her killer.
