* MAJOR BRITISH MURDER CASES - COUPLE’S KILLING “WAS REVENGE FOR BETTING SCAM”: Why had the Chinese couple been murdered? Police had an idea that the crime was linked to the shady business dealings of “Kevin.” He ran a football betting scam, forged passports, visas and academic qualifications...

* THE WIFE IN THE WHEELIE-BIN: When his wife Edwina vanished from their Melbourne home in 1983, Frederick Boyle said she had left him. More than 20 years would pass by before the grisly truth emerged
