Unsolved Murders....
A REWARD of $250,000 remains for information which could solve the murder of Dorothy Mavis Britton at Airlie Beach.
It was the 16th anniversary of Mrs Britton's brutal death yesterday and police reminded everyone that this unsolved crime has a major reward.
"In addition to $250,000, an appropriate indemnity from prosecution will be recommended for any accomplice, not being the person who actually committed the crime, who first gives information," police said.
Mrs Britton, aged 48, died as a result of a single shotgun wound to the head and a murder weapon has never been located.
She was last seen alive about midday on March 6, 1996."In addition to $250,000, an appropriate indemnity from prosecution will be recommended for any accomplice, not being the person who actually committed the crime, who first gives information," police said.
Mrs Britton, aged 48, died as a result of a single shotgun wound to the head and a murder weapon has never been located.
She was last seen alive about midday on March 6, 1996.
When relatives could not contact her the next day, a daughter-in-law went to the home in Timberlands Rd, Jubilee Pocket.
Darkness had fallen and she found no light on.
She found the wooden front door open.
However, the sliding screen door was closed but not locked.
The Britton's dog was standing on the veranda near the front door.
On entering the premises she found the body and phoned Whitsunday police and a nearby friend of the family.
Investigators believed that robbery was not a motive as Mrs Britton's handbag containing cash was undisturbed and the dwelling did not give the appearance of having been ransacked.
Mrs Britton was on a bed in the main bedroom and there did not appear to be signs of a struggle.
Subsequent investigations revealed that Mrs Britton had attended folk art in Pleasant Dr at Cannonvale between 9.15am and 12.30pm the previous day and had not been seen after that.
Neighbours reported that they could not recall hearing the Britton's dog barking.
Police were unable to locate a shotgun, which was missing from the property. It was long barrelled with a single trigger that had to be cocked before firing.
There was a lever on the top used to break open the shotgun.
It was considered that clothing work by the person responsible for the shooting may have become bloodstained while committing the offence, requiring them to wash themselves, or wash or dispose of their clothing.
