An unusual and/or coincidental link to the Eddie/Paula Gilfoyle murder case
"Paula Gilfoyle met Mark Roberts in 1973 when she was 14 years of age and he was 17. The couple became engaged in 1974. In October that year, Roberts strangled Christine Buckley to death with his belt hours after having sex with her near the park’s toilet block. He dumped the young girl’s body in the lake. Paula Gilfoyle stood by Roberts when he was convicted of the woman’s rape and murder."

The quote I put above appears incomplete. in 1976 Mark Roberts was sent to jail for 6 months for stealing a car, it may have been October 1976 he killed Christine Buckley not 1974. He was sentenced to life for the murder of Christine, I guess he would have been released after about 15 years?

Hi Norton and DD,
Do you have anyway of directing me to the news reports? Google seems to be a little lax in finding something relevant.
I've been to the central library in Wallasey but I never printed anything off the internet. It's weird how I can't find much about the case. Do the newspaper reports mention which prison he was remanded/sentenced to?
Thanks for your help so far.

I haven't got a subscription with Find My Past, the below is available in the Newspapers search section. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/mvilvE2.jpg) Some libraries offer free time, FMP/Ancestry

This is an extract from a book called "Guilty Until Proven Innocent The Crisis In Our Justice System" by Jon Robins Guilty Until Proven InnocentIt is basically about Eddie Gilfoyle but has connections to Mark Roberts and Christine Buckley

I use Ancestry for my family tree and so I have a monthly subscription which gives access to BMD and census for example, included in the price. However, sometimes the info I want can't be found there but is on Find My Past, so I buy pay-as-you-go credits with them. FMP is good for ships passenger lists and war records, but also links into The British Newspaper Archive. Naturally, if I go searching through the records, including the newspaper records, it uses some of my credits, which I have to replace. As credits only last for a few months if you don't use them, then I'm happy looking up something like this if I can find the time and I've had an otherwise low usage period. I should note that the Liverpool Echo has recently been added to their archive, but the Wallasey or Birkenhead News does not seem to be on-line yet.

His birth was registered in the June Quarter, 1955, Birkenhead,
If you want his full date of birth, you will need to purchase his birth certificate, it's very unlikely to be available online to find.
