IN 1975, May Rothera, the 61-year-old stewardess of the Miners’ Club in Accrington, was killed when she was strangled by someone using a bar towel.
James Corbett, who was 37-years-old at the time and living in Clayton-le-Moors, was arrested on suspicion of murder shortly after the killing at on July 28, 1975.
He denied murder but eventually pleaded guilty to manslaughter due to diminished responsibility after telling Preston Crown Court he was an alcoholic and couldn’t remember much of the incident.
