The Murder of Sarah Dinah Noel: The Ramsgate Mystery, 1893.

On 14th May 1893, butcher William Noel returned home to his shop in Grange Road, Ramsgate, Kent, to find the door locked... On gaining entry, he discovered his wife Sarah Noel, lay dead on the scullery floor, and his large black retriever dog sitting mournfully beside her. It was ascertained that she had been shot in the head from behind at some time between 2 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. Her husband had been out teaching at Sunday School during that period and so he had a perfect alibi. But no-one else was discovered to have been in the vicinity during that period, and the only reliable witness gave police a time of 2.08 p.m. when they had heard what they thought was a double-knock on the door... Police were puzzled. And they wondered why the large and ferocious dog, which had been known to bite people and chase strangers, did not defend Mrs Noel - or even bark - when she was shot? When police discovered the door had been locked and the only key to the house was found inside, they began to look again at the husband... Did he the murder of his wife? paypal.me/MarkJohnMaguire?country.x=GB&locale.x=en…
