VillageElder Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I wonder if anyone has any anecdotes or information on a well known Sheffield character known as 'Russian Edna'. I have some information (a relative of mine was responsible for her demise) but I would be very interested in any stories or info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillageElder Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm fairly certain that's just an urban myth, based around the Darnall connection. I can tell you on the night in of her killing she was picked up in the "Sportsman" on Cambridge Street. A taxi took them to Darnall where then went into High Hazel's Park. She was suffocated and died by the bandstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
