I went to Braimwood a school in the mid to late 90s and remember I'd nip to them for a fag after shool before I got home.
Mum never knew I smoked then, I now vspe. Much safer.

In the late 1970s, while we were still in the 6th form at school, my best friend had a part-time job on a milk round which included the street which runs down to Roundhay Park Lakeside cafe from the Oakwood Clock (Roundhay Avenue?).

Very early one morning, around 4 or 5 AM, he went into that toilet block to use it for its intended purpose and he discovered the body of a murdered man.

That's all I can remember, but I have no doubt that someone on here will be able to provide some more information on this story. The date will have been between 1977 to 1980.

Could this be it from 1978 ? http://www.leedslocalindex.net/result.a ... wscuttings

There is more info on John Riley the murdered man on Google

That link is now broken, but it sounds to have information relevant to the more recent query about this murder. Between uncle mick and the Wayback Machine, perhaps somebody with more IT skills than mine can find it
