THE husband of the final victim of the notorious killer Bible John broke a 36-year silence yesterday over the murder of his wife Helen Puttock.

She was one of three women believed to have died at the hands of Bible John in the 1960s.

Patricia Docker, 25, Jemima McDonald, 32, and Mrs Puttock, 29 were found strangled after visiting the Barrowland dance hall in Glasgow.

The killerwas given his nickname because, according to Jean Langford, the sister of Mrs Puttock who was with her on the night she died, he had recited excerpts from the Bible as they shared a taxi home from the dance hall.

Despite exhaustive police inquiries over three decades, no killer has ever been caught.

Police said yesterday that, despite all the similarities, the murders were being treated separately.

George Puttock, 64, spoke out ahead of the screening of a documentary about the socalled Bible John murders.

He said: "I remember everything. It is as if it was yesterday. It will never ever go away."

Unsolved will be broadcast on Grampian and Scottish TV on Thursday.

In the programme, Mr Puttock, who comes from Berkshire said: "Everything that's been written, every headline, has been about Bible John.

"What about Helen Puttock and anyone else Bible John might have been responsible for killing?"

"I just hope and pray that as a result of this new investigation the person responsible is finally found."

Police officers suggested that the initial inquiry was too narrowly focused and that the three murders may not actually be connected.

Detective Inspector Billy Little said: "At the time the murders were investigated as three separate murders.

"That is the case at the moment. They are still being looked as as three separate incidents."
