Lindy Benstead and Peter Thurgood: fresh appeal in 1986 murders on West Sussex border


FAMILIES haunted by the double-murder of a couple 35 years ago are urging anyone with information to come forward and hope a fresh police appeal will finally bring justice and closure.
Lindy Benstead and Peter Thurgood were found dead on April 22, 1986, on Chapel Common off the then A3 at Rake in Hampshire, close to the West Sussex border.
The pair had both been killed by shotgun blasts at point-blank range.
Mr Thurgood, 47, was found slumped by the side of the car with gunshot wounds to his head and chest, and Mrs Benstead, 49, was lying on the ground nearby.
Mrs Benstead, a married mother-of-three, and divorced bricklayer Mr Thurgood, lived in adjoining Whitehill and Bordon and were having an affair, which was common knowledge locally.
