Description

Cumbria Murders brings together numerous murderous tales that shocked not only the county but also made headlines throughout the country.

They include the cases of Wai Sheung Siu Miao, strangled while on honeymoon in 1928; William Armstrong, shot by the Revd Joseph Smith in 1851; Ann Sewell, stabbed to death by farmhand George Cass in 1860; and the murder of Jack West at his home near Workington in 1964, whose killers were the last two men to be lawfully hanged in England.

Paul Heslop was a policeman for over thirty years, mostly as a detective.

His experience and understanding of the criminal justice system give authority to his unbiased assessment and analysis of the cases in this book.

His carefully researched, well-illustrated and enthralling text will appeal to anyone interested in the shady side of Cumbria’s history, and should give much food for thought.
