It's claimed new DNA evidence could throw doubt on the conviction of Gordon Park the retired teacher who became known as the Lady in the Lake' killer. Park was jailed for murder, after a jury found he had killed his wife and hidden her body in the Lake District decades ago.

Park always maintained his innocence, until he was found hanging dead in his prison cell in 2010. Now an official organisation that reviews potential miscarriages of justice is looking at the case. His dead wife's relatives say they're in shock.
