LONDON POLICE HAVE offered a £40,000 reward to anyone who can help solve the murders of Eve Stratford and Lynne Weedon in 1975.
Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh of the London Metropolitan Homicide Unit made an appearance on last night’s BBC Crimewatch to appeal for fresh information in the case.
16-year-old schoolgirl Weedon was raped and murdered on the night of 3 September 1975 near her home in Hounslow..
Playboy Bunny Girl Stratford (21) was found dead in her Leyton flat on 18 March that year. She had been stabbed repeatedly in the throat.
DCI McHugh believes the killer may have let details of his crimes slip over the years and that someone may be able to help them as a result – a partner, friend, or even a medical professional.
It was established in July 2006 via DNA profiling that the two girls were probably murdered by the same person.
It is possible that the perpetrator may have known his victims, particularly in Stratford’s case, who had an enormous circle of friends.
The suspect for the murders is most likely now in his 60s or 70s.
Anyone with information is asked to call the London Metropolitan incident room on +44 20 8785 8099.
