The Farsley Murders Richard M Jones

In the early hours of Sunday 15th February 1970, the quiet town of Farsley was shocked by the double murder of a police officer and a night watchman during a failed robbery. What followed was a huge manhunt across two counties that led to a career criminal who had led a life of violence from an early age. Now, over five decades since those fatal shots, we go back to the scene of the massive police operation to track down a killer and hear just how one mindless act of murder left two families devastated. With eyewitness accounts from the people who were there and the families of the victims, we can now tell the story of The Farsley Murders.
