ALEXANDER Well, a few minutes ago 47-year old flower-shop owner, Alice White, was found guilty of the murder of Yately businessman, Jack Miller. During the trial we heard how she broke into the home of Mr Miller's business partner, Barry Clark. She stole his gun and went to the Yately Garden Centre, where Mr Miller was working late. She shot him once in the heart, killing him instantly and then left a single red rose on his body. Then she returned to Mr Clark's house and put the gun back.

A They found a button near Mr Miller's body. When a photo of the button appeared in the evening paper, a local woman, Mary Barnes, called the police.

The police visited Mrs White’s home and found the coat, with the button still missing.
