Add to Lightbox Download

July 6, 2018 - Wakefield, Yorkshire, UK - Wakefield UK. The scene where Elsie Frost's body was found in Wakefield in 1965. The family of murdered Elsie Frost are to lobby the Attorney General for a fresh inquest, which would allow police to put evidence implicating Peter Pickering into the public domain. The family have launched a crowdfunding campaign to meet the legal costs of the move, which they say would bring them an element of justice after the opportunity to see Pickering prosecuted was robbed from them by his death earlier this year. In 1965 the body of 14 year old Elsie Frost was found on the steps next to a railway bridge in the Lupset area of Wakefield. Elsie had been stabbed 5 times & died of shock & blood loss, despite a massive manhunt there has never been a conviction of anyone responsible. In 1966 a coroner presiding over the inquest into Elsie's death decided Ian Bernard Spencer was the man guilty, he was cleared by two courts. In March 2018 after the death of Peter Pickering who was convicted of the 1972 manslaughter of 14 year old Shirley Boldy near Barnsley, West Yorkshire police said they had ''strongly suspected'' he was responsible & ''it was our expectation'' the Crown Prosecution Service would have decided to charge him in due course.
