EVIL IN EAST ANGLIA

Softcover. The gentle slopes of Suffolk and the flat fenlands of Cambridgeshire may not seem like places renowned for evil, but as the author proves, East Anglia has a chilling history of crime and murder, both bizarre and horrific. Includes crimes committed for money : the Greek charmer who, leaving his children with a babysitter, went off to rob a post office and murder the post mistress for a paltry sum; the 3 Fen Tigers who killed for only 20p; or the stableman who murdered one of the richest women in Britain because she would not pay him the pittance she owed him in holiday pay. Then there are those crimes committed for passion: the Newmarket beautician who watched as her ex-lover entered her salon and shot his rival; the agricultural love triangle, which ended in murder; or the wife of the American airman who stabbed him as he taunted her over his new girlfriend. And then there are the wholly bizarre - Gypsy Jack Smith who swung from a tree onto a woman and shot her, or the landlord who used a mace to clear the pub of unwelcome guests - and the truly horrific - the Cambridge rapist who terrorised bedsit land for 8 months, or the 2 football fans who killed 2 rival supporters.
