In this episode, I discuss the tragic story of Janet Commins, a 15-year-old schoolgirl who was sexually assaulted and killed in 1976.Janet had planned to meet her friends at the local swimming baths on January 7, but her mum, Eileen, did not permit her to go as she looked pale and unwell. Sneaking out and leaving a note behind, Janet was never seen alive by her parents again.This case features a massive miscarriage of justice, with the first murder trial occurring in June 1976. 18-year-old Noel Jones was accused of murdering Janet and, bizarrely, admitted manslaughter even though he was innocent and was handed a 12-year prison sentence, serving six.Forty years later, 57-year-old Stephen Hough was arrested on an unrelated matter and had his DNA taken. It matched DNA found on samples taken from Janet's body.Like Noel, Hough was found guilty of manslaughter in July 2017 and handed a 12-year sentence.For all things British Murders, please visit my website:⁣britishmurders.com⁣Intro music:⁣David John Brady - 'Throw Down the Gauntlet'⁣linktr.ee/davidjohnbradymusic⁣References:⁣britishmurders.com/janetcommins Learn more about your ad choices.

S10E05 | The Manslaughter of Janet Commins | Villain: Stephen Hough

On the evening of January 7, 1976, 15-year-old Janet Commins snuck out to go swimming, leaving a note saying she’d be home by 8:30pm. She never returned and 18-year-old Noel Jones was convicted and served his entire prison sentence more than 2 decades before DNA linked Stephen Hough to Janet’s rape and murder, 40 years after the then 16-year-old is believed to have committed the crimes.
