"Donald Banfield (born 1937 or 1938) was a British man who disappeared from his home in Harrow, London in suspicious circumstances on 11 May 2001. His case is notable for being a rare case in which a murder conviction was secured without a body, and for this murder conviction being subsequently quashed on the grounds that a joint enterprise conviction in such a case where no body was found was not viable, even though the defence themselves said that the \"likelihood\" was that \"one or other\" of the women had murdered him. Despite never finding a body, his own wife and daughter, Shirley and Lynette Banfield, respectively, were convicted of murder in 2012 in high-profile circumstances, whilst also pleading guilty to fraudulently stealing his pension money and proceeds from the sale of the family house for years after his disappearance, apparently knowing that he would not be able to return to expose them for taking more than \u00A3180,000 of his money. The fraud had started only days after he disappeared, with the women pretending to be Don in documents to request his money be transferred into their accounts. It was further found that they had previously attempted to murder him in the days before he vanished, and police discovered he had disappeared on the exact day that he had signed the contract with his wife agreeing to sell the family home. On the morning of the day he vanished he had also told a policeman of how the women had been attacking him. The women were released on appeal for the reason stated above, a year after their conviction for murder, although their convictions stood for their crimes of fraud, which they had admitted. Officially a miscarriage of justice case, Banfield's murder remains unsolved."@en . . . . . . . "19917"^^ . . . . . . "Shirley Banfield"@en . . . . . . . . . . . .
