Hi Admin
I couldn't see a record for this case.
Newcastle Journal 30th June 1979
Shop lady stabbed 17 times
"Shopkeeper Ann Chadderton was the victim of a "brutal and senseless" murder by a teenager,
Manchester Crown Court was told yesterday.
Mrs Chadderton who ran a second hand clothing business from a wooden hut near her home,
was stabbed 17 times with a pair of scissors, had 19 superficial knife wounds and had been strangled
said Mr Andrew Rankiss Q.C. prosecuting.
Her killer, Wayne Millin (16) then started three fires in the shop, before escaping with her cash float, he said.
Millin, of Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, admitted murdering Mrs Chadderton, of Ashton.
He was ordered to be detained during Her Majesty's Pleasure."
This case was also featured in the book: Cause of Death: memoirs of a Home Office pathologist. Dr Garrettt & Nott
An Excerpt:
"He (Millin) said he had gone into the shop to return a pair of trousers he had bought for £1.50 that did not fit.
While there he attacked her in a ferocious fashion before starting three fires. He left with the cash float, estimated
at between £50 and £100.
Before the murder the teenager had cashed a cheque from his father's checkbook for £12. Shortly after the killing
he repaid the debt. The boy himself never offered a reasonable explanation for his appalling act. Bit if Mrs Chadderton
died because he was scared about nicking £12 from his dad then his priorities were outrageously out of phase.
But then, that is so often the case.
Psychiatrists could find no sign of mental illness in Millin and because of his age he was sentenced to be detained
at Her Majesty's Pleasure"
The book only claims the murder took place in "early Spring of 1979"
