Send us a text

This is part one of a three part podcast.  21 March 1984. Hilda Murrell was abducted from her home. She was an anti-nuclear campaigner who had just gained approval to present a paper on the problems of nuclear waste at the Sizewell planning  inquiry.
Hildfa's body was found three days later. The police thought that a lone panicking burglar was responsible.
It seemed more probable that a panicking government or nuclear  agent or agents were responsible and then a cover up put into operation. In part one of the story we try to  consider4 the state of the UK in 1984 and the events of 21st March 1984.
Part two which will be realised tomorrow (Saturday 17 April) will consider the reasons why Hilda was murdered,
Part three which will be broadcast the day after part two (Sunday 18th April) will try to come to some conclusions.
