 | | The murder of Hilda Murrell, the anti-nuclear activist, a fertile source of conspiracy theories for 20 years, was the work of a teenage criminal who would have escaped justice but for advances in DNA profiling, a jury heard yesterday. |
 | | The Security Service, MI5, and operatives employed by the nuclear industry were, over the years, among those blamed for the killing of the 78-year-old rose grower, found dead in woodland on March 24, 1984, three days after being abducted from her home in Shrewsbury. |
 | | Miss Murrell was an active campaigner against the proposed Sizewell B nuclear reactor and was due to present a paper arguing against its construction. |
