  1. 'If anyone murders me in the future its likely to be...'published at 08:55 British Summer Time 9 October 2017

    New evidence in the case of one of the South West's most brutal murders has emerged.

    Graham Fisher and his wife Carol were killed at their petrol station near Wadebridge in 2003.

    Petrol station

    Mr Fisher allegedly revealed in a conversation in the early 1980s that should he ever be murdered, it would be by someone close to him.

    "He actually forecast what might happen in the future," said the friend, who wanted to remain anonymous.

    "He had started to tell us why he had moved from Kent to Cornwall and said, 'In fact, if anyone murders me in the future its likely to be...' and then the conversation was stopped by his mother.

    "She said, 'Don't tell him because then he will be involved'."

    Lawyers for the two brothers convicted of the killings say it could help their attempts to free them.

    Graham Fisher and his wife Carol

    A man who was shot and bludgeoned with a sledgehammer had told a friend he feared he would be killed by someone he knew, the BBC has learned.

    Graham Fisher and his wife Carol were murdered in their home near the petrol station they ran in Cornwall in 2003.

    Lee and Robert Firkins were jailed for life in 2006. Their solicitors said the revelation made by the victim's friend could "add weight" to an appeal.

    Police said the original witness statement does not mention his claim.
