Roy Tutill

Overview

Can the police finally crack the case of the killing of Roy Tutill, Surrey’s longest unsolved child murder? In 1968, 14 year old school boy Roy Tutill disappeared on his way home from school and his murdered body was found 2 days later in a beech tree plantation in the Surrey countryside. The police investigation centered around a sighting of an Austin Westminster car but detectives just couldn’t make headway with this lead and Roy’s killer remained at large. But a cold case review in the late 1990s offered fresh hope. Would this and developments in forensic technology finally catch Roy’s murderer after more than 30 years?
