Don Ashton

Don Ashton was a client of Mike Baldwin's in June 1985. After Mike pays £4,000 cash for Don's bankrupt denim, Don gets drunk in the Rovers Return Inn. When he leaves, he forgets his suitcase of cash and on the journey home, drives into the canal - killing him. However, Mike discovers the order didn't go through and he has no proof that the £4,000 isn't his. Mrs Ashton tells Det Constable Meadows that Don should have had a lot of money on him, but Mike claims he didn't give him any money.
