How undercover police solved 1984 murder of civil servant
Anthony Littler was beaten to death - 42 years later his killers have been caught
Just after midnight on 1 May 1984, civil servant Anthony Littler stepped off a train at East Finchley station and set off down a dark alleyway towards home.
Two minutes later, the 45-year-old lay dying on the ground. For 42 years, nobody was brought to justice. Detectives turned to a daring undercover operation. Now, that has changed.
Michael Stewart, 57, and Anthony Stewart, 60, were sentenced at the Old Bailey to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 10 years and 15 years respectively for his murder. The brothers were aged 15 and 18 at the time of the attack.
