They Got Away With Murder

They Got Away With Murder - Mark John Maguire

Welcome!

Murder is the greatest taboo and all societies reserve their strictest penalties for those who commit the ultimate crime - that of killing another person. But there are a few people who in spite of this, quite literally, get away with murder. This channel is about such people. Many of these cases are well known - have become part of the canon of classic true crime literature - and others less so but are nevertheless intriguing unsolved murders that have baffled Scotland Yard.

The opinions expressed in these essays are mine alone - the result of careful research using many sources including original police papers, transcripts of court proceedings, Inquests etc; also contemporary press reports and personal contact with descendants of those who were witness to the events.

I am always happy to receive emails from others who share my interest in these matters even when their conclusions differ from mine!
