Murders and Misdeeds : Angus and Dundee 1765-1900

Inglis, ForbesUUUU
Books, Manuscripts
Subject: Fascinated by the story of Margaret Shuttleworth, the Montrose woman tried for the murder of her husband and convicted on the most circumstantial of evidence, Forbes Inglis embarked on a mission to discover more about the men and women who were accused of capital crimes in Angus and Dundee during 18th and 19th century. He uncovered many interesting stories, such as the trial of Kitty Nairn for incest and the murder of her husband, a man twenty years her senior, an accused who would have hung had the Crown been more careful in drawing up the indictment; the intriguing case of the Kirriemuir hotelier's wife who might, like the other victims, have been responsible for her own death; the enigma of the Dundee murderer William Bury - was he really Jack the Ripper?
