A new suspect in the Bible John murders has been identified for the first time after being linked to the cold case through DNA.Former printer John Templeton has been named as the alleged killer of Helen Puttock, one of three woman murdered in Glasgow in the 60s.Templeton, who died in 2015 aged 70, has been put in the frame after an investigation showed he shared a DNA profile and family connection to a former prime suspect, John Irvine McInnes.
And the author of a book investigating the 55-year-old case has uncovered other evidence that Templeton, quizzed by the original murder squad detectives, could be the killer.
Australian author Jill Bavin-Mizzi said: “I’m 100 per cent convinced John Templeton is Bible John. The circumstantial evidence is so weighty it would be a mathematical impossibility for it not to be Templeton.”It would also mean the killer gave his real name and details to the only witness in the case, Jean Langford, Helen’s sister.
Jill traced Templeton after looking at the ancestry of McInnes, identified as a suspect in 1996 after a cold case review.The former soldier, from Stonehouse, Lanarkshire, who took his own life in 1980, had been interviewed about the murder of Helen, 29, in 1969 then was ruled out as a suspect.
