Description

In Britain, August 1987 is remembered for the events at Hungerford, Berkshire, when 27-year-old Michael Ryan went on a horrific killing spree. But were his actions inspired by Australian spree killer Julian Knight who had struck in Melbourne just 10 days earlier? Turn to page 22 and Melbourne’s Horrific Hoddle Street Massacre for the full story.
Lord Darling’s place of eminence in British legal history is assured. This month, on page 28, our series of articles about his most famous trials comes to an end with Dirty Work At The Races, focusing on the sensational 1913 Wootton v. Sievier and others case. Don’t miss it.
