Summary
In 1952, Ash Vale railway station became the scene of a shocking and brutal crime. Geoffrey Charles Dean, a railwayman working the evening shift, was closing up for the day when he was stabbed in the back and left for dead.
The motive appeared clear - money was stolen from the station - but the crime's ruthless execution left the local community shaken. The investigation was a swift one, as within 24 hours, police had apprehended the man responsible - a fellow railway worker.
