Abstract
We show that a PD3-complex P such that π = π1(P) is infinite and has a non-trivial finite normal subgroup must be homotopy equivalent to RP2 × S1. Hence if A is an abelian normal subgroup of a 2-knot group πK which is not contained in the commutator subgroup πK′ and πK′ is infinite then A is torsion free.
