Was a male with the last name Whittle fatally shot in the head?
The body of Lesley Whittle, the 17-year-old heiress kidnapped from her Shropshire home 52 days ago, has been found at the bottom of a drain shaft.





Police made the discovery after a three-day intensive search of Bathpool Park at Kidsgrove in Staffordshire, where Lesley's brother Ronald Whittle had tried to meet the kidnapper some seven weeks earlier. It is thought she had been strangled.





Police investigating the disappearance of Lesley, a student left 拢82,000 by her father when he died five years ago, have said they are convinced she was taken by the killer known as the Black Panther because of his dark clothing.





He is already wanted in connection with murders at sub-post offices in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Worcestershire, and the wounding of a security guard at Dudley.





The Dudley shooting happened two nights after the kidnapping and a car found later abandoned in the town contained Miss Whittle's slippers and some office tape.
