Ryland Headley, of Clarence Road, Ipswich, UK, is,

Louisa Dunne, who at the time [in 1967] was 75 years old.


Q.

to the death of Louisa Dunne, in 1967, by AI ?

Avon and Somerset Police said the charge comes after they began reviewing the case in 2023, prompting further forensic examination of some items.

Another possibility: records have been made electronic, making them easier to search, making it easier to look for similar MO's. That could be a good job for AI.
