Plea to find Facebook man suspected of Dewsbury woman's murder

Feb 12 2009 by Sam Casey, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

GRANDPARENTS of a Dewsbury mum have begged for help to track down the so-called “Facebook fugitive” suspected of her murder.

Batley couple Geoff and Catherine Camponi, both 75, were speaking after police recovered the car of suspect George Appleton.

The badly burned body of their granddaughter, 36-year-old Clare Wood was discovered at her home in Salford last Friday.

Ms Wood, an ex-pupil of St John Fisher Catholic High School, grew up in Dewsbury.

She moved to Greater Manchester after marrying and had a daughter, now aged 10.

Mr Camponi said: “How can someone do this to another human being?

“I just hope they catch the man and put him away for a long time.”
