EXCLUSIVE A witness has recently claimed that he saw Russell Causley, who killed Carole Packman in 1985, burning something in a rug in the New Forest Ringwood, Hants when he was a teenager

Police are to inspect a woodland site where murderer Russell Causley could have burned his wife’s body decades ago.

He killed Carole Packman in 1985 but has never told his devastated family what he did with her.

But a witness recently said he saw Causley burning something in a rug in the New Forest.

The couple’s daughter Sam Gillingham, 51, and her son Neil, 30, had given up hope of finding out the truth.

Jay Fellows, now 49, said, after seeing pictures of Causley, he is “100% sure” he saw him as he cycled past the site as a teen.
