Then my dear Mark, I am the bearer of the most unbbelievable news. You had better sit down, all of you.

A few hours ago two men were arrested in connection with the murder of Hilda Murell so long ago.

I will talk to you all later, when you have all caught your breath.

Murrell detectives arrest two men

Hilda Murrell was stabbed but died from hypothermia
Two men have been arrested in connection with the death of the Shropshire peace campaigner Hilda Murrell. West Mercia Police say the arrests were made on Monday and the pair were being held in police stations in the force area.

They were expected to be interviewed later on Monday.

Ms Murrell was found dead in March 1984 near Haughmond Hill, east of Shrewsbury.

The 78-year-old's body was discovered in a copse six miles from her Shrewsbury home.

A post mortem showed she was stabbed five times but died from hypothermia.

Last year Andrew George, 36, of Meadow Farm Drive, Shrewsbury, appeared in court charged with her murder and unlawfully taking or carrying her away against her will.

His was remanded in custody until April.
