[claybury]

yes the aunt survived but was left quite ill mentally, it must have been in papers at the time as it went to court, the attacker I believe was drunk at the time and aunt was serving at counter ? he got off lightly as he was the son of a policeman at the time",so I was told,"no one to ask in family now.

This relates to this post http://www.theanswerb.../Question1091144.html

Claybury, it helps if you post thanks etc as your own answer to the original post - otherwise we have to go looking for the original question, and it saves having two separate threads about the same thing.
