Description
Our short series of Manchester Murder Mysteries concludes this month with the heartbreaking story of Dorothy Leyden, Wythenshawe’s Census Night Killing. The adjective is particularly apt, given that 17-year-old Dorothy was attacked on her way home from a concert given by the American singer Jimmy Ruffin, best known for the hit, “What Becomes of The Brokenhearted?” This 1971 case remains open, so if someone out there has any useful information, please let the police know.
Don’t miss too the remarkable 19th-century case of Murder At The Vicarage: Yorkshire’s Deadly Crime Of Passion, remarkable not least for the number of photographs available from a 150-year-old crime.
