Description
The Denham Massacre In May 1870, a shocking and brutal crime shook the quiet town of Denham, Buckinghamshire. Seven members of the Marshall family, including three small children, were found brutally murdered in their home. The crime scene was a scene of utter devastation, with the victims having been bludgeoned to death with a sledgehammer, axe, and poker. Retired Metropolitan police officer Neil Watson provides a detailed and gripping account of the events leading up to the crimes, the police investigation, and the eventual arrest of the suspect, John Owen. Based on years of original research, Watson takes readers on a journey into the heart of a real-life Victorian murder mystery. This is a gripping and thought-provoking read that sheds new light on one of the most shocking cases of mass murder in British criminal history.
