Mrs. Bolshaw was a sexually active woman, as she was fully entitled to be. There had been a significant number of men in her life, but some were never identified. Police enquiries also revealed that John was not the only man to lie about having had a sexual relationship with her. The court heard a great deal about Mrs. Bolshaw which the judge explained was not intended to be disrespectful to her memory. Such details were necessary for the jury to be aware of, as her life style may have put her at some risk. It was also necessary to show that John was not the only man to be involved with her in 1983.

• One particular man was seen with Mrs. Bolshaw in an estate agents office in Chester three weeks before she was killed. Mrs. Bolshaw said they were looking at property together and were interested in bungalows in the Handbridge area of the city. The man was aged between fifty to fifty-five years and a photofit of him was widely publicised. Despite this, he has never come forward or been identified. (See appendix 1)

• Prior to her death Mrs. Bolshaw had told a colleague that she was ‘fed up’ with a man calling early morning and in the evening just for sex, and that she felt like a ‘public convenience’.
