Portsmouth: The Murder of Linda Cook

On the 9th of December 1986, the half naked body of Linda Cook was found in the grass and scrub of a pathway in Buckland, Portsmouth. She had been repeatedly kicked in the face, head and body after being raped. The only clue the Hampshire Constabulary had to go on was a footprint left on her abdomen, a mens trainer with a unique tread — the word “FLASH” imprinted on the sole. The killer would be dubbed ‘The Beast of Buckland”, and the crime became known as “The Cinderella Murder.” Watch Murdertown exclusively on Crime+Investigation in the UK, and then listen here as Benjamin Fitton from They Walk Among Us unpicks a new case from each location.
