They went to the Selborne Hotel, Howard street, Great Yarmouth, to collect bundles of blood-attained clothes found in a room there.

We heard them having a terrific argument about” doing someone”,” My wife cleaned the room later, and came across piles of bloodstained clothing hidden away.” The Selborne Hotel is less than 50 yards from the bombed site in Howard street, where the G.I. 22-year old Rodrigo Martinez, was murdered early the next morning.
