Alleged killer tan Her Majesty sports, with A&E, for once, not needed (5,8)
I believe the answer is:
james hanratty
'alleged killer' is the definition.
'tan her majesty sports with ae for once not needed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'her' could be 'ame' and 'ame' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
