This is the text from the front page of a local newspaper, the Ruislip and Northwood Gazette that came out on Thursday 17th February 1983 (the first issue to come out after the murder) which is the same day Tony Batters estimates he attended the interview with Christine Holohan.

Lakeside Close having separated from her husband, Mr Malcolm Poole, seven months ago. The couple had been married for 16 months.
Police said that Mr Poole, 23, and her current boyfriend who has not been named, have been interviewed.
Mr Paul Newman, who lived next door, said that the first he knew was when the father of Mrs Poole's boyfriend knocked on his door on Sunday afternoon and asked to use the telephone after being unable to get an answer at her door.
Mr Newman said that the man telephoned her and when there was still no reply he called the police.

Confidence

When officers broke in they found Mrs Poole lying in the lounge. She was wearing day clothes and there was no sign of a forced entry.
One of the last people to see her was Mr Rajani Patel, manager of Ruislip Fruiterers.
He said: "I feel terrible. I was very shocked when I heard what had happened. She was a very nice charming lady."
Detectives are hoping

that the person they are looking for may try to pawn or sell the jewellery.
Any information regarding Mrs Poole or the missing jewellery can be given to the Ruislip incident room and will be treated in the strictest confidence.

St Christopher ring base solid gold, Keeper ring (three row), Plain Gold wedding band, Scissors on chain, Black heart diamond inset on chain, two belcher chains (short & long), single stone diamond engagement ring.
