Rosemary Cook was one of the friends out with Helen that night. She described the mum as, 'an attractive, quiet person, who lived for her children'.
At the time she told the Aberdeen Evening Express: “We couldn’t get into the club and Brian and I left Mr and Mrs Kane and the other couple about 7.30pm.
"They said they were going down to Leith. That was the last time I saw Mrs Kane, I did not know about the tragedy until today.”
Helen’s sister Janet was waiting with the couple’s four children but the mum would never make it home.
Her body was discovered by Christopher Holmes, and his Irish setter called Dougal. The dog found her nude body, covered in blood, in a shallow excavation pit filled with rocks south of the Pleasance.
