An unsolved murder dating back nearly 88 years to the day has been uncovered by Northumbria Police.
Evelyn Foster’s body was found on moorland in Northumberland, England on 6 January 1931.
The 27-year-old was pushed in the back of her taxi, covered in a rug and set on fire, but a culprit was never found.
The “horrific” case was rediscovered during a review of the force’s archives and remains one of their oldest unsolved murders.
