ANGRY male nurse Don Pearson is urging residents and former hotel workers to help him solve the mystery of his brother's murder, which occurred in Majorca in 1972.

Walter Pearson was stabbed three times in the chest and pushed or fell from a balcony at Palmanova's Hotel Honolulu on December 15, 1972.
The Bulletin reported yesterday how Don, of Port Talbot, South Wales, was still searching for information which could shed light on the unsolved crime 36 years after Walter, aged 20, was killed during a trip to Majorca with friends.

He is desperate to discover the hotel room number used by his brother so he can pay a final tribute when he visits the resort next month. However, the hotel has changed ownership several times since the incident and the information has not been forthcoming. Friends who travelled with Walter have also refused to reveal anymore information about the tragic incident.

Mystery also surrounds the exact time of Walter's death with conflicting times of death.
