Scunthorpe Murders

By Douglas Wynn

This chilling collection of murder cases delves into some of the villainous deeds that have taken place in Scunthorpe’s past. Among those featured are a woman who beat her teenage daughter to death for refusing to get out of bed, a steelworker who stabbed two people before barricading himself and his children in his home, and a policeman who strangled his wife and set up the crime scene to make it look like the work of an intruder. Illustrated with a wide range of archive material and modern photographs, Scunthorpe Murders will appeal to everyone interested in Lincolnshire’s criminal past.
