In just one week three people had been murdered in the West Midlands and others had been attacked by the prime suspect, Anthony Russell. The local community were scared by what had happened and naturally concerned for their own safety.

Ninety one year old Bill Reilly was a retired builder and a popular resident on the Tower Gardens Estate in Tottenham having lived there with his family there since 1977, although he was not originally a Londoner.

I know, I know you don't use a travel agent any longer. But the service offered by Lyne Barlow, an independent travel agent in County Durham was incredible - way cheaper than everyone else and when you asked her why she would say that the bigger players ripped you off. And all your family and friends were using her and getting great deals on dream holidays. Why not get yourself a deal?

But unfortunately, that old adage about if something seems too good to be true it usually is, held true with the agency operated by Lyne Barlow. But her scale of deception was staggering....
