We have delved into our archives to document locations of high-profile murder cases throughout the community.
Our aim is to create a record that not only highlights these cases but also serves to inform the public and facilitate appeals for information, particularly in cases that remain unsolved. To report information about an unsolved case to Nottinghamshire Police, you can either call the non-emergency number 101 or use their online reporting service at Nottinghamshire Police's website (www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/ro/report/).
For anonymous reporting, contact Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or visit their website.
All information presented is publicly available, sourced from court reports and previous media coverage. By illuminating these cases, we aim to explore themes of justice and remembrance. Mansfield Woodhouse and Sutton are featured more than once in this list, highlighting that both locations are home to the area's most well-known murder cases.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the loved ones and communities of the victims featured in this retro article.

Katie Crowder was jailed for killing 19-month-old Gracie Crowder by scalding her in March 2020. Prosecutors said Gracie suffered burns that covered 65 per cent of her body and was left for at least an hour. Her severe injuries could not have been caused accidentally, they added. Crowder, of Wharmby Avenue, denied murdering Gracie on March 6, 2021, but was found guilty in November of the same year, following a trial. She was ordered to serve at least 21 years in prison.
