Download or read book The Brookwood Killers written by Paul Johnson and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2022-03-24 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled deep in the Surrey countryside stands the Brookwood 1939-1945 Memorial. Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, its panels contain the names of nearly 3,500 men and women of the land forces of Britain and the Commonwealth who died in the Second World War and who have no known grave. Among the men and women who names are carved on the memorial are Special Operations Executive agents who died as prisoners or while working with Allied underground movements, servicemen killed in the various raids on enemy occupied territory in Europe, such as Dieppe and Saint-Nazaire, men and women who died at sea in hospital ships and troop transports, British Army parachutists, and even pilots and aircrew who lost their lives in flying accidents or in aerial combat. But the panels also hide a dark secret. Entwined within the names of heroes and heroines are those of nineteen men whose last resting place is known, and whose deaths were less than glorious. All were murderers who, following a civil or military trial, were executed for the heinous offence they had committed. The bodies of these individuals, with the exception of one, lay buried in un-consecrated ground. As Paul Johnson reveals, the cases of the ‘Brookwood Killers’ are violent, disturbing and often brutal in their content. They are not war crimes, but crimes committed in a time of war, for which the offender has their name recorded and maintained in perpetuity. Something that is not always applied in the case of the victim.

Download or read book Murder written by Linda Guyan and published by Devine Destinies. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You think your doors are locked. You think you’re safe. You’re wrong. A killer is in your house. There’s a killer in Shadylake. A murderer lives among the citizens in this small California mountain community. But no one noticed that one of them has an evil side—a black shadow. Even after the grisly 1996 triple homicides at a local masquerade party, the killer was presumed to be an outsider. No one wanted to admit that a murderer lived in their idyllic town. Four years later, a stranger arrives in Shadylake to rent the same house where the murders occurred—Hartley House. Alone, it was an unremarkable event but for the fact that Eve Collins bears a striking resemblance to one of the murder victims. Eve believes she’s safe behind the locked doors at Hartley House. She has no idea that the house has secret entrances. But the killer does. NOTE: Previously published as Too Many Secrets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on from an earlier consultation paper by the Law Commission (Consultation paper 173, ISBN 0117302597) published in October 2003, this report makes recommendations on the law and practice of the partial defences to murder of diminished responsibility and provocation, as covered by the Homicide Act 1957, with particular regard to domestic violence situations. It also considers whether there should be a partial defence to murder in cases involving the use of excessive force in self-defence. Appendices include sections detailing: research into the ways in which the law of provocation and diminished responsibility are working; a brief empirical survey of public opinion relating to partial defences to murder; a synopsis of sample cases of female defendants convicted of murder; and a sociological history of provocation and diminished responsibility.
