Template:13 March

13th March 1989: After being warned about Alan Bradley by Dawn Prescott, Rita Fairclough had been investigating Alan's home security business, as Dawn had told her that Alan had been receiving letters and phone calls for Len Fairclough, Rita's dead husband. Rita found the letters Dawn had described and learned they were from the building society concerning a loan that "Len" had taken out. When alone with Alan, Rita confronted him, and he confessed to mortgaging Rita's house as he needed the money to start his business. He laughed off Rita's accusations of fraud and betrayal, but when Rita told him she had set the record straight at the building society, Alan attacked her. Jenny Bradley and Martin Platt arrived at the house just as Alan had his hands around Rita's throat, but he decided to use the opportunity to run off.
