On the 9th August 1982, 58 year old Edmund Simpson was working in the book shop that he had been working in for the past 36 years in Manchester city centre. His friend and partner found him in a pool of blood in the mid afternoon after he had been hit by several blows to the head. His case is still unsolved over 40 years later.
