About

They Got Away With Murder - Mark John Maguire Welcome! Murder is the greatest taboo and all societies reserve their strictest penalties for those who commit the ultimate crime - that of killing another person. But there are a few people who in spite of this, quite literally, get away with murder. This channel is about such people. Many of these cases are well known - have become part of the canon of classic true crime literature - and others less so but are nevertheless intriguing unsolved murders that have baffled Scotland Yard. The opinions expressed in these essays are mine alone - the result of careful research using many sources including original police papers, transcripts of court proceedings, Inquests etc; also contemporary press reports and personal contact with descendants of those who were witness to the events. I am always happy to receive emails from others who share my interest in these matters even when their conclusions differ from mine! Mark John Maguire

Video Description

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA-pKjAY106U1sIOLM049Tg When King George V died on the evening of 20th January 1936, it was famously said that upon being told he would soon be well enough to visit Bognor to recuperate, he uttered his last words: "Bugger Bogner!" he said. He then died, surrounded by his loving family. But it was a lie: it was only discovered 50 years later, when the diary of his doctor Lord Dawson of Penn was examined, that the King had been murdered... Upon its discovery in 1986, the response to the events of that evening was muted in the press, and ever since it has been handled with great - and unwarranted - circumspection. And yet it is a fact that one, and quite probably 2, famous men got away with murder that night...
