The axe-murders of retired farmer Fred Maltby and bookmaker Joe Rylatt in Lincoln in 1991 seemed to be linked.

Last month’s “Forensic Secrets Of The Days Before DNA” showed the extraordinary detective work of yesteryear. This issue’s “How Brilliant Sleuthing Solved Two Axe-Murders” is the perfect follow-up. Don’t miss it!
