More in today's Guardian on the 'accidental' death of a man on Ben
Nevis in 1962, which is now being treated as a potential murder.
If you've missed this rather bizarre story, a former school pupil
has come forward with a claim that 23-year-old student volunteer,
Howard "Tim" Keeley was pushed to his death from a ledge on the
mountain.
The official line at the time appears to have been that one of the
pupils dropped an ice axe into Corrie Leis and Keeley fell to his
death after going back to retrieve it. The school, which catered for
juvenile delinquents, was closed in 1983 and police investigations
are problematic, with difficulties in tracing potential
witnesses.

story see today's Guardian web site.
