I have a dim memory of someone being killed in the church yard on Foregate street where the flats are now, some thing to do with a RAF bloke and Bill Emery's wife, from the undertakers, it must have been in the 60's, I cant find anything on the web though except this

from MISS T
edit: I've just been asking the wife and she remembers it too, she thinks Mrs Emery was strangled at the back of the pub that is at the end of the road (al shiek's?) and her body dumped in the grave yard, by a RAF man that she was "enjoying the company of".
There are other details that she remembers but they may be libel, and I can't repeat them.
