Harry Baker

On the 23rd of June 1958, the body of 61 year old Harry Baker was found wrapped in two sacks just over a wire fence by the A50 roadside near Knutsford in Cheshire. His beaten and battered body made him almost unrecognisable. Links were made by 5 different police forces and he was eventually identified. He had disappeared from his rounds working as a credit draper in the town of Bootle in Merseyside over 2 weeks before. Who had killed this meticulous and caring man, where had it happened and why?
