Description
This chilling follow-up to "Cornish Murders" brings together more murderous tales that shocked Cornwall and made headline news nationwide. The book explores four particularly shocking cases: the brutal slaying of Elizabeth Seaman in 1845, the murder during a robbery near Launceston in 1862, the slaughter of the Mortimer family in Saltash in 1901, and the suspicious death of a farmer near Liskeard in 1952.
Some of the perpetrators were driven by insanity at the time of their crimes, while others chose to take their own lives rather than face justice. The case of the 1958 murder of a holidaymaker in Newquay remains unsolved, despite the efforts of the police. John Van der Kiste and Nicola Sly's well-illustrated text provides a gripping look at Cornwall's darker past.
