Murder in Walkley area 25/08/2016

Recommended Posts

According to the Star, police are investigating the murder of a 47 year old man. Both Walkley and Upperthorpe are mentioned in the article as locations. Very sad for all involved.

The location given is Fox Walk, which IIRC goes between Otley Walk and Fox Rd. Google has this as Hillfoot, but I guess it's on a border between Walkley and Upperthorpe. I'm not entirely clear when one starts and the other finishes.

There seems to be quite a bit of crime in Walkley these days. I certainly wouldn't want to be anywhere near Ruskin Park at night.

Walkley does seem to be place that more that the average number of murders occur.

I quick google of 'Walkley murders' will show you the events over the past few years and some way back as well.

I won't post links for fear of offending someone related.

Sad business.

It is, also sad is how people are more interested in bleating on about the location down to the nearest millionth of a millimetre.

I agree - exactly where it happened is immaterial really.

Totally astounded that you have interpreted my original post as an opportunity to "bleat on about location". I mentioned Upperthorpe simply because the article I was referring to did, and I myself was uncertain where the street in question was.

 

Very very sad that others seem to be trying to start some petty row when such a tragic event has happened.

a google on other Sheffield areas (e.g. NetherEdge) also gives lots of hits for murders.

But are we not discussing Walkley ?

Nether Edge is relevant how ?

Are you really surprised - this is SF after all ?

Some folk would argue that black was white and vice versa !

I agree - totally disrespectful. Some family has lost a loved one.

Well there was an implication in what was posted that Walkley has unusually high levels of murders due to the number of google hits. I don't think Walkley is any worse than other areas in Sheffield.

How else would you get to The Blake pub?

 

Walked through twice tonight, nothing to be scared of apart from tripping over foxes.

 

Anyway, name of victim released tonight and two people in custody.
