STAFF members at St Mary's High School, Blackpool, have been involved in a bit of back-stabbing -- all in the name of fund-raising!

John Young, Jane Quick, Julia Jones, Nigel Ranson, Elaine Gleeson and Stephen Conway all starred in a whodunnit murder mystery called Murder Backstage at the school to raise money for the PTFA.

An intriguing plot had the audience guessing which member of a village amateur dramatic society murdered the writer of their new play.

School spokesman Louise Morgan said the evening raised around £200. She added: "I believe it was a full house and the event was a great success."
