This chilling collection of seven murder cases delves into the villainous deeds that have taken place in Scunthorpe between 1953 and 1978. Among those featured are a woman who beat her teenage daughter to death over a trivial domestic incident, a steel worker who viciously stabbed to death two people then barricaded himself in his Scunthorpe home, and a policeman who strangled his wife and set up the crime scene to make it look like the work of an intruder. Illustrated with a wide range of archive material and modern photographs, Scunthorpe Murders will appeal to everyone interested in Lincolnshire's criminal past.
