A look back at the UK's longest-running cold cases
The conviction of Ryland Headley, 92, for the murder of Louisa Dunne in 1967 is thought to be the longest-running cold case to be solved by police. Ryland Headley, then aged 34, forced entry into the home of 75-year-old Louisa Dunne in Bristol in June 1967 before attacking her. The mother-of-two's body was found by neighbours inside her terraced home on Britannia Road in the Easton area of the city on the morning of June 28. Here are other cold cases that resulted in a conviction: Murder of Louisa Dunne – 58 years Mrs Dunne, 75, was raped and murdered in 1967 after being attacked in her home in Bristol. Ryland Headley, now aged 92, was convicted for rape and murder following a trial at Bristol Crown Court in 2025. Murder of Yolande Waddington – 46 years The 17-year-old nanny was killed by David Burgess in a Berkshire village in 1966. A year later, he murdered two children. In 2012, he was given a further life sentence for Yolande's murder. Roland Long rape case – 42 years Long was jailed in 2022 for 12 years for raping a woman in the Cardiff area. Manslaughter and rape of Janet Commins – 41 years In 1976, 15-year-old Janet Commins was found dead in Flint, North Wales. A man was wrongly jailed for killing her. Former soldier Stephen Hough was later caught from DNA recovered from the scene. He was jailed for manslaughter in 2017. David Lomax rape case – 40 years The former police officer raped a woman in 1978 in Leeds after she was unable to pay a fine. He was convicted of rape and misconduct in public office in 2018 and jailed. Murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce – 34 years The two young women were found dead in Tunbridge Wells in 1987 in what became known as the 'Bedsit Murders'. In 2021, David Fuller was handed a whole life order for the murders and the sexual abuse of more than 100 dead women and girls in hospital mortuaries. Murder of Roy Tutill – 33 years The 14-year-old was sexually assaulted and murdered in 1968 in Surrey. A cold case review led to convicted paedophile Brian Field when his DNA was linked to the crime. He was jailed for life in 2001 for murdering Roy. Murder and rape of Melanie Road – 32 years The 17-year-old was found stabbed to death after a night out in Bath, Somerset in 1984.

Reform UK mayor says Bob Vylan's chants show ‘two-tier justice'
Reform UK mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, Andrea Jenkyns, said that if Bob Vylan aren't arrested over their chants at Glastonbury, it is evidence of a 'two-tiered justice system.' Rapper Bobby Vylan led a crowd in chants of: 'Death, death to the IDF,' during the group's performance on Saturday (28 June). 'If the police don't arrest and treat them the same way as Lucy Connolly and all the other political prisoners, then they should let Lucy Connolly and the other political prisoners out and give them compensation,' Jenkyns told GB News on Monday (30 June). Lucy Connolly, the wife of a former Conservative councillor, was jailed for 31 months for inciting racial hatred online following the Southport attacks. 'Because this is evidence that we've got a two-tiered justice system,' Ms Jenkyns claimed. Police are assessing videos of comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury to decide whether any offences may have been committed.

Princess Diana's favourite café risks closure over ‘illegal migrant workers and paying staff in food'
A favourite café of Princess Diana could be forced to close after it was accused of illegally hiring migrants, paying employees in only food, and allowing the unlawful smoking of shisha. Café Diana, which was named in honour of the former Princess of Wales, could lose its licence, after the Home Office applied for a review, with a hearing set to take place on Thursday. Diana and her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, quickly became regulars at the café, which is near to Kensington Palace in west London, after she made her first visit within days of its opening in 1989. Café owner, Abdul-Basit Daoudr Daoud, recalled the princess's visits after her death. 'She started coming more often, bringing the kids here sometimes for breakfast. The kids used to take breakfast, like English breakfast. Herself, she used to have cappuccino, cake, some croissants, something like this. But she sometimes had English breakfast too,' he said, according to The Times. Shortly before she died in 1997, according to the paper, the princess sent a letter to him, reading: 'I wanted to write personally, to thank you so very much for the beautiful flowers you sent for my birthday.' Café Diana now has dozens of photographs of the princess plastered over its walls, including one given by Diana as a present, and has become a popular tourist spot. But the business is facing the prospect of having its licence revoked after the Home Office said seven illegal employees were found working there between September 2019 and December 2024, who were from countries such as Egypt and Albania, according to a report published by inspectors from Kensington and Chelsea council. In interviews, some of these workers claimed they were 'paid in food' rather than money. Inspectors said this 'raises concerns about labour exploitation taking place at the premises', the report added. It is also alleged that, in May this year, a number of customers were discovered smoking shisha in the basement area of the café. Officers seized 45 unlabelled tubs of shisha tobacco. Mr Daoud told officers that he oversaw the recruitment process, including checking the right-to-work and immigration status of new employees. He said that members of staff were paid in cash, and admitted that some received free food in exchange for working at the café. The report stated: 'Café Diana has been found employing illegal workers. This business has clearly failed to meet the prevention of crime and disorder and public safety objectives.' Previously, the company running the café was ordered to pay a £135,000 civil penalty in April after it was found to illegally be employing three migrants, according to the report. In a letter to the council, lawyers for Café Diana's owners said: 'Immediately upon becoming aware of the reported issues, the licensee took swift and decisive action to evict the tenant responsible for the unauthorised activities.' In the report, the café has suggested that a three-month suspension could be implemented, during which time it said it would ensure right-to-work immigration checks are done for all members of staff. A ruling will be made by the licensing committee of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on Thursday. The Independent has contacted Café Diana for comment.
