I think Edward Winter followed up with words along the lines "Can we look forward to an equal number of pages detailing how the judge stopped the trial on account of there being no case to answer?"

Some comments by Edward Winter about the case are to be found in

https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/extra/cuttings.html

under the heading "Cracked?".

There was an interesting second "Streatham & Brixton" article:

The suspect in the Therese Terry murder case was in the news again a few years ago:

I'm slightly shocked someone didn't already know about this incident and very shocked they did not know about S&Bs copious reporting on Keene!

I most probably was aware of it when it occurred but must have forgotten all about it. Was it big news in it's day? Seems like it might have been.
