This absorbing collection delves into the villainous deeds that have taken place in Suffolk during the last 200 years. Cases of murder, robbery, child neglect and abuse, and arson are all examined as the shadier side of the county's history is exposed. From the respectable young man who almost severed his mother's head from her body; the brutal murder of a father and daughter that took almost twenty years to solve; and the man who peppered his wife with more than 50 gunshot pellets, this book sheds new light on Suffolk's criminal history. Illustrated with a wide range of photographs and archive ephemera, Murder & Crime Suffolk is sure to fascinate both residents and visitors alike as these shocking events of the past are revealed for a new generation.
