DETECTIVES who originally investigated the 1966 murder of Finnish au pair Tuula Hoeoek are being called on to help in the new hunt for the murderer, it can be revealed today.

No-one has been brought to justice for the brutal murder of the 20-year-old and the possibility remains that the killer is still living in the community.

Miss Hoeoek is thought to have been picked up from a bus stop in Georgetown on New Year’s Eve, taken to a field near Clos de Roncier, in St Clement, and beaten to death with a blunt weapon.

Her skull was smashed to pieces in the attack.

It has already been revealed in the Jersey Evening Post that a local man was arrested and question on suspicion of the crime in 2004.

He was not charged.

In March three former detectives, George Shutler, Jim Marsh and a third officer who did not want to be named, told the paper that they remained convinced the Beast of Jersey, Edward Paisnel, was the murderer.

Mr Shutler, who is now in his 80s and was an inspector on the Hoeoek murder squad, said he was ’99 per cent sure’ Paisnel was the murderer.

He and others will now be interviewed by a new murder squad being led by Detective chief inspector André Bonjour.
