Thank you for taking the time to research Victor Nunn’s death. I was sure it was much sooner than that but the story in the Sun matches what I heard. He would have been in his early 40’s at that date, he was stabbed and he did live on Beach Ave. I left the CPR near the end of 1962 so I don’t remember where I heard about it. I still wonder who did it and if they were prosecuted. Thanks again. Carol

When I worked at the CPR, a co-worker, Victor Nunn, was murdered in 1961/2. I have often wondered if his murder was solved. As a matter of interest, he was openly gay. Do you have any knowledge of this case ?
