The Death of Alison Chambers

The burial site was too small for the pump to be used, so black slime continuously seeped back in as Professor Knight trawled through the mark with hand-held tools. The tip of Alison's head became visible, her hair still attached. By the time Professor Knight had retrieved Alison's remains, he was paddling around in two feet of filthy water. Despite Fred indicating that Alison Chambers was Shirley Robinson's mate and lover, no connection between the pair was established. It was clear to police that Fred West was a compulsive liar. They had to treat any information he offered with a high degree of caution.
