There really was only one place to be on Saturday night and that was the Clans clubrooms for the St. Dominics FC presentation night and a huge crowd had turned out specially for the occasion.
THE SEARCH for another possible victim of Fred West has prompted comments from readers. West who committed at least 12 murders and then took his own life in prison in 1995 before facing trial spent several months in Cumbria lodging at and drinking in The Belted Will Inn in Hallbankgate and also stayed in Brampton in the long hot summer of 1976. The killer’s time in Cumbria was outlined in a book Fred & Rose by journalist Howard Sounes. He wrote that, during West’s stay here, he tuned in to a radio phone-in on which callers offered household items for sale. “A lady who had been trying to sell a gas fire on the programme later received a call from Fred,” Sounes recorded.
