Articles merged

I merged the Gwynne Owen Evans and Peter Anthony Allen pages into this one. They had no biographical other than birth/death dates and a small amount of identical information about the case, while this one has more information about the murder, trial and executions. Also, I added an unreferenced tag to the article, as there are currently zero. I'll try to work on improving that. momoricks ^{make my day} 07:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Evans

A weird fact about Evans, his real name was John Welby and for reasons unknown he pretended to be Welsh, even putting on a false Welsh accent during his trial —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.184.214 (talk) 00:41, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move article

Surely this should be moved to Murder of John Alan West? Any thoughts? Also there was quite a big feature on this case in yesterday's Daily Express, probably mostly sourced from the Fielding book as he is quoted, but useful nonetheless. Worth expanding if anyone feels incluned to do so. TheRetroGuy (talk) 11:55, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BBC Stories

interesting article from BBC Stories that gives a lot of background to this case, and also suggests Evans may have been the victim of a miscarriage of justice. This is Paul (talk) 16:04, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Miscarriage, in what way? 2.28.151.187 (talk) 01:14, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Evans- wording

The description of Evans says he was attending a school, and that he sometimes attended a mental colony. Is there better wording than “attended” a mental colony? He was sometimes admitted? I didn’t change as I’m not certain he was a patient. Nelliebellie (talk) 19:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
