Forums Forums Thread Like Summary - 1970's Murder in Central Park, Wallasey

I'm trying to find any information about a murder that was committed in the 1970's.

Mark Roberts murdered a woman in central park, dumped body in the lake and fled to Wales where he was either apprehended or gave himself up.

I remember finding information at the local library in Rake Lane but I didn't keep any of the details of the newspaper it was reported in - presumably Wallasey News/Wirral Globe.

I've tried to locate these newspaper articles but have been so far unsuccessful - does anyone know anything about the case, know Mark Roberts or have a link to stories covering the murder?

Kind regards

I believe Mark may have been in Rampton Hospital I knew Mark when I was a child/teen and remember talking to him shortly before the tragic event in Central Park and he said to me that he was frightened that he was going to do something that would put him away for a long time as he was finding it hard to cope on the outside . I believe his younger brother also went to prison for manslaughter not definite about this but possibly true.I also heard one of them may have passed away inside ,which one I am not sure .
