Thirty-five-year-old Beverley Brinkley was the mother of three daughters and lived in a block of flats known as The Stow in Harlow, Essex, England.
At around seven-forty-five p.m. on February 6th, 2003, she was attacked by two men on the stairwell outside her apartment. According to a witness, the men fled through the parking lot behind the building after beating Beverley and leaving her for dead.
Both men were white; one was described as short and stocky, aged in his thirties, with dark eyes, dark beard stubble, and dark wavy hair cropped in the back. The second man was younger, but also stocky, with long legs and blond, shaved hair.
Beverley was immediately transported to Addenbrooke’s Hospital but died four days later from severe head trauma.
In 2004, two anonymous letters were sent to police containing details about the crime, but the writer of these letters has never been identified. In 2005, four men were arrested in connection with the murder, but all were subsequently released without charge.
The motive behind the slaying of Beverley Brinkley and the identity of her two killers are still a mystery, more than two decades later.
