Murdered For a Few Shillings: A Case From 1934

On Saturday 17th February 1934, Robert Pennefather let himself into 47 Handcroft Road, Croydon, at 8.35 in the evening. This was where he lodged at the home of Mrs Eliza Ray.

He noticed that the rugs in the hall were not where they should be and that the door to the back room was bolted, whereas it was usually left open.

What he saw in the room shocked him intensely. <a href="https://medium.com/veritas-true-crime/murdered-for-a-few-shillings-a-case-from-1934-a7a70f4853c2">Click Here</a>
