Does anyone else remember this happening.

It happened on Stanley Road in Chapeltown in about 1998.

Does anyone have any links about it.

My fiancee is interested about it

Concrete Ken, he was swiftly nicknamed.

I lived a street away at the time, and I got one saturday morning to find 3 rozzers searching my back garden and shed!!!

The house were it happened is HUUUGGGEEE! Its had around 4 extensions (not all in concrete by the way).

:huh: just abit curious how a hit man could go to the police:huh:

I remember them sending the frogmen in to Charlton Brook.

I used to remember the woman who was killed as i was her newspaper lad for a while, she used to read the Daily Express.

My friend lived across the road, we were at college at the time, when we went round to her house she would always be watching us, then we didn't see her for a while so we we joking 1 day that she must be under the patio, imagine how we felt when they found her head in that concrete in the garage!

I have to be honest, that's puzzled me a bit...I hope he didn't take his CV along with him :hihi:

My sister lived across the road and I too had joked about her being buried under the patio!

Where abouts is Burncross in Sheffield ?

Burncross now seems to be entwined with Chapeltown. At one time is was a village, and a nice one too. Approach it by Burncross Road, which begins at the roundabout by the Spar/Post Office opposite Chapeltown WMC and the Tesco garage. It passes the library and swimming baths.

I remember this, i lived on stanley road at the time.

The victim was my mates cousin.

I lived in tha area at the time and must admit I did go for a nosey.

I remember you couldn't move on the road.
Stanley road had never had so many walkers!

Could have been a wannabe hitman who just couldn't do it

I took great pleasure in being present at the time of concrete ken getting his just deserts on many occasions after boasting about what he had done

He is now at HMP Doncatraz......

I think you will find her daughter is Belinda not Becky she also had another daughter and a son. I was a friend of Susan and her family

went to school with her son paul. my mum used to clean for her at the house she lived in before setting up home with the guy who killed her. It was at the end of horbury lane in burncross. cravens made their money through scrap, the dad did time in prison and befriended this guy whom they took in after his release from prison. the lady in question took up with him, left mr craven and set up home on stanley road. very sad and tragic all round. terrible legacy for her kids to live with.

I think you will find her daughter is Belinda not Becky she also had another daughter and a son. I was a friend of Susan and her familyi think you'll find she has a daughter called rebecca who does/did live at thorpe salvin:)

they used to call mrs craven the bradgate bulldog in the trade but she was ok with me,i lived at the end of Horbury lane on chapel rd then.

tell us the story

Its a bit trusting giving your exact address to thousands of random strangers on the forum.... watch your head doesn't find itself in a block of concrete

and as a footnote, Concrete Ken.... probably the funniest nickname of all time.
