Man, 92, charged with rape and murder of woman in 1967

# A 92-year-old man was charged with the rape and murder of a woman in Bristol, England, in 1967 and appeared in court yesterday. Ryland Headley, from Ipswich, was arrested earlier this week after a forensic review of the case. The 75-year-old Louisa Dunne was found dead by a neighbour in her home in the Easton area of Bristol in June 1967. She had been strangled and raped. Headley did not enter pleas to the two charges against him. The judge sent the matter to the Bristol Crown Court, with a hearing today.
