''The murder of Ann Heron shocked the country, and now a
documentary has taken a second look at what happened.
The Mysterious Murder of Anne Heron looks at how the
Glaswegian was killed, and who could have been connected to the killing.''
On 3 August 1990 Ann went shopping with her friend in Darlington before returning home in time for lunch with Peter, which they did every day.
Over lunch, she told her husband that she would spend the afternoon in the garden as it was the hottest day of the year so far.
He returned to his job at 2pm, and a friend spoke to her around 30 minutes later. A tractor was also blowing grass towards the back garden, so Ann moved to the front, where she was spotted sunbathing by a friend passing by on a bus at 330pm.
She would never be seen again by her loved ones.
Peter returned from work at around 6pm and fond the door open and the dog outside. He went in and saw that her book was still lying there, as were her cigarettes.
He discovered Ann on the living room floor having been stabbed in the neck. Her bikini bottoms were removed, indicating a potentially sexual motive.
In the description for
The Mysterious Murder of Ann Heron, the show is described as: “The shocking story behind one of the UK’s most mysterious unsolved crimes, as Peter Heron himself gives his version of the events surrounding his wife Ann’s death in 1990.
“As the documentary explores the events of August 1990 in detail, new potential evidence comes to light, and questions are asked about whether the police missed a vital clue and chillingly, whether the real killer of Ann Heron escaped justice?”
''Who did it?
We still do not know who killed Ann Heron.
Her husband Peter was revealed to have been having an affair with a 32-year-old barmaid at a local club, putting him at the front of the public’s suspect list. However, his colleagues confirmed that he was in work all day and could not have committed the murder.
He married three years later.
Peter was arrested in 2005, but all charges were dropped the following year. The documentary talks to him about what he remembers.''
