The body of the 53-year-old former antiques dealer from Ludlow was found lying behind the front seats of his burnt-out Vauxhall Nova, in remote farmland in Melverley, on April 26, 1994. In 2011 he was charged with murdering three other men in Shropshire, also in 1994, and jurors ruled that he was responsible for two of the deaths.
Pathologists continue to disagree as to whether his injuries were more likely the result of an assault or a series of accidental falls.
