The following is an extract from a report in The Courier-Mail of Wednesday, February 6, 1991 about Desmond Holland's murder:

A TAXI driver may hold a clue to the baffling murder of Ipswich council worker Desmond Holland, who was found strangled in his bathtub on January 22.
Police are seeking the taxi driver who was believed to have picked up the 62-year-old man from Prince Alfred Hotel at Booval on Saturday, January 19.
Desmond "Slim" Holland's body was was found three days later, submerged in water in the bathtub of his Dinmore home.
Det Sgt Ian Claridge, of the homicide squad, also appealed to the "hundreds of people" who were at the hotel on the 19th to come forward.
"Our next breakthrough could all depend what response we get from people who were at the pub that Saturday," he said.
"Someone in the hotel that day may just have seen something which they do not realise could be vital to our inquiries. "Even if they were there and think they did not see Mr Holland we still want to hear from them.
"There could have been hundreds of people in the hotel that day - we would be very pleased to hear from every one of them."
He said a reward of up to $1000 had been arranged through Crime Stoppers for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible. "If people contact Crime Stoppers their name will not be requested and rewards are paid anonymously in cash."

Notes:

By the time he was 18, David Nunn had four convictions for poaching, according to the Bury Prison Register dated 23 Sep 1846
The fourth conviction earned him a fine of 20 shillings, costs 13 shillings. It's not clear if the 20 shillings included the costs but either way it was a substantial fine for "an offence against the Game Laws at Chevington".
We can surmise that he may have been poaching to feed himself and other family members but whatever the truth, it was against the law and he was caught.
The record describes David as 5ft 5ins, pale complexion, brown hair, grey eyes, long visage, of good health with clean clothes. He could not read or write.
