EDDIE GILFOYLE was found guilty of the murder of his pregnant wife, Paula, in 1993.

A year earlier, she was found hanging in the garage of their Upton home with an alleged suicide note.

But detectives believed Gilfoyle fooled his wife, 32, into writing a suicide note and forced her to climb a ladder with a noose around her neck.

In recent years, though, Merseyside Police interview notes appeared to show a catalogue of errors made by officers at the scene.

They suggested, potentially crucially, Gilfoyle was at work when his wife died.

It was claimed notes of interviews not seen by the jury stated the doctor who declared Mrs Gilfoyle dead told police she had died six hours earlier – when her hospital porter husband was at work.

Two years ago, criminal profiler David Canter put forward a new argument indicating his new belief Mrs Gilfoyle’s “suicide note” was genuine.

The prosecution was supported by the then-argument that pregnant women hardly ever killed themselves, a theory called into question years later.
