Shorncliffe Kent Murder Suicide 1934?
« on: Tuesday 23 April 24 13:57 BST (UK) »
Circa 1934 a manservant of possibly a Brigadier, killed the officer's maid, and then himself.

Who was the manservant, the officer, and the maid?

It was reported in the local paper.

Any ideas or help much appreciated.
