Summary
The body of keen cyclist David Alderson was found by a dog walker on January 18, 2014, in the grounds of the old Wheal Maid mine in Cornwall, and given the spot's popularity with riders, his death was initially put down as a tragic accident.
It was only when witnesses started coming forward in the immediate aftermath of the 72-year-old's passing that the true nature of how he died came to the surface. David's death was no accident. It was cold-blooded murder.
