The Bedsit Murders

Remembered as among the UK's most prolonged unsolved crimes, the bedsit murders (of Ms. Knell and Ms. Pierce) high in Tunbridge Wells in 1987 were finally traced to Fuller due to DNA matching leading to his arrest in December 2020.

So if someone spots any colleague doing anything suspicious, the reporting system must be simple and involve the police immediately.
