14th April 1983,
France murdered Gillian Atkins, aged 14, in April
1983 in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire.
He sexually assaulted her
before bashing her over the head with a brick.
France confessed to killing Gillian accidentally, Whilst
in prison awaiting trial, his solicitor received an
anonymous letter claiming that France was not the
murderer, but that the author had committed the offence.
It also provided a sketch and a description of where he
had left the brick with which he had killed her.
The handwriting was compared with that of France, but
experts were unable to say that they matched. However a
fingerprint was found on the letter, and using a newly
developed laser technique for enhancing fingerprint
detail, 16 identifying characteristics were found,
proving that France had written the letter.
