manzmanz Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 A few years ago I used to drink in a pub in Castleton and vaguely remember a local telling me that a young girl (tourist I think) was murdered and that a very young local lad had been jailed. Its perhaps 20 years ago since the actual murder but to be honest I cannot remember much about what I was told that night and it’s bugged me ever since that I wasn’t listening (or forgot, or just too drunk to remember) and I’ve never found any details about a murder in Castelton on the net I’m just curious as to what the story was - does anyone remember this happening in Castleton?

manzmanz Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 nice! Im racking my brains to remember more about the murder I posted about I think it was someone from the Youth Hostel (but Im not certain Im not mixing that up with another story) Someone on here must be from that neck of the woods?

firecracker Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 If my memory serves me, I think it was a female Manchester University student who was murdered back around 1983. It was on Look North and Calendar. And I think a 17 year old lad was jailed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItIsNow! Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yes - the victim was taking photos for a university assignment.(Up near Peveril Castle.) The murderer was a teenager from Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzmanz Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 That rings a bell now... Its something Ive had in my mind for years but you know what its like its hard to find out stuff once the moments passed, not something easy to ask people about (apart from on here). Suppose twenty odd years on the lad isnt a lad anymore and must be out. it must have been 8 years since I heard about it and he wasnt out then (from what I recall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesandtwos Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 you could try library archives. some of them have past news stories on microfiche that you can search. maybe castleton has a local paper? you could try an article in that requesting info if its important to you.
