  The guy playing the robber of the Abbey National Building Society was genuinely creepy.

  These early reconstructions are at once more dramatic yet less sensationalist than the later ones. It’s quite paradoxical really.

  The Imraan Vohra case had a real twist to it. Many years later in 2007, DNA evidence from relatives identified the murderer as Robert Morley, who had died in 1997. Morley was originally from London but had been evacuated to Lancashire as a child in the war. He moved back to lancashire in 1979 and lived there until 1988 when he moved back to Charlton in London. He had a string of convictions for petty crime but also for indecent exposure. Something we now understand as a massive red flag for sex offenders whose behaviour escalates dangerously. The police had not previously linked him at all to the case. Morley was known as a heavy drinking, controlling and aggressive womaniser but there had been no previous suspicion that he was a paedophile. His former wife did however say that he was very secretive and led a transient life, moving around various places in Lancashire. Police subsequently started to investigate whether he may have been involved in more crimes in Lancashire during his time there, 1979-87, but so far nothing has been publicised. They feel it's highly unlikely that Imraan's murder would have been Morley's first offence.

  Does anyone know if they were arrested on the arson attack? How awful.
