The murder of Denise Reynolds was terrible.  :'(

I remember the two lads that died in the Mini from school. One was called "Bobby" as I recall.  :'(
I remember Bobby from school too,and his brother Tony. I also remember Vernon when he was a taxi driver. I still think of what happened that night every new years eve,even now. So tragic.

The woman's name was Eirlys Roberts,23, from Old Colwyn and a waitress at the Howard Hotel in Llandudno. She had been strangled. The year was 1979. She was murdered by a man called Arthur Wynne, a convicted murderer who whilst in jail was a model prisoner and achieved a BA degree. He strangled her just two months after being released from prison.

We had a walk in Penmaenmawr yesterday and saw what I thought was an old abandoned pub, DaveR soon told me on Facebook that it is The Red Gables Hotel, the scene of a mass murder! :o  as the front door was open I had a quick look round.

I have seen too many films where the curious innocent enter such a place. only to meet a frightful end.

I would never set foot in there.   aaa.gif aaa.gif

As Fester knows full well, I also decided to pay a visit today to take a look around, being as the hotel has long fascinated me. Wandering on my own in semi-darkness around a derelict hotel that was the scene of a horrific mass murder was no problem.  :laugh:  $good$

Here's a couple of photos:

It was horrific....as I cautiously walked around a corner, I saw movement right in front of me and I jumped a foot in the air! It was, erm...a mirror.  :laugh:  :laugh:

 _))* the Sunday Mirror?  ;D.  I felt nothing spooky in there at all, but at the time did not know the story! I'd go back in as long as the entrance isn't boarded up again!

I have discovered that 1231 people were murdered in Brit in 2011,  but over 7000 committed suicide.

So, based on this, the next time I see a knife wielding manic coming towards me, I will simply invite him to do his worst.
Seeing as I am 6 times more likely to end my own life than anything he can do!   ZXZ
