The Waterways Strangler

(Based on P-A-D. 12 January 2015)

The Waterways Strangler




It was a very misty morning on the Leeds Liverpool Canal at Gathurst, near Wigan. The air was cold and George looked out of his cabin window at the scene outside. No one stirred and George had the only narrowboat on the canal at Gathurst that Monday, January morning, the 12th. It's name was the "Insanity". It was very quiet and his dog, Bonnie, a beautiful Golden Retriever was indicating that she wanted to go out to do her business. George was 54 years old and a loner since his wife left him eight years previously. He had let himself go and had lost some weight and his hair was now slightly balding and long and wispy and straggly. His skin was now quiet wrinkled and gnarly which made him look worse since he had a hooked nose and dark brown eyes which were quiet close together.

“Bah,” he snorted. “Come on dog, let’s go for a walk”
Bonnie’s tail began to wag but she was afraid of George sometimes and didn’t get too excited. All she wanted to do was go and relieve herself after a long night.

So, out they wandered along the towpath.

George was not the Waterways Strangler however, he was the first victim………
