A firm of solicitors was looking for an established Private Investigator in London and opened a case with Nationwide Investigations to gather evidence for the defence in a murder enquiry. Nationwide Investigations were told by the defendant that he had been wrongly identified by the police.

He had refused to co-operate with the police because he had been cheating on his wife with another woman, a prostitute in fact, and he was afraid of the consequences at home. The man had met with this lady in a bar in London City centre and booked into a hotel in the early hours of the morning. When he finally confessed to the police, they were unable to locate the woman and therefore did not believe his story.

Nationwide Investigations traced the woman to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, and she agreed to return with them to London to make a statement to the police.

Nationwide Investigation’s client was released and the police re-opened the case. The real murderer was later arrested, charged and is currently serving a life sentence.

And – Nationwide Investigation’s client later married his lady of the night!
