Mr (Lieut.)R. Parrington Jackson

I should be very happy if anyone could send any information about Mr Robert Parrington-Jackson who was shot in the Bristol Odeon in 1946. My mother worked in the Navy with him and would love to hear from anyone who knew of him.

Many thanks.

Parrington Case

Has there been an offical end to this - i.e. Coroner's Inquest or is still officially unsolved. I have put the case in a magazine article - True Detective on unsolves murders committed in May.

Firstly, yes the case is stll officially open bcause the confession made wasnt accepted as it was made by an unreliable soure. The man who confessed on his death bed, did so to his son who then told the police but they couldnt accept it due to lack of evidence.
