IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 22 October
1927 that Albert Davies of Chester was acquitted of the murder of his
four-year-old daughter, Elsie by drowning her in the bath. His wife had
died earlier in the year from tuberculosis and Elsie was also dying from
the disease. He had killed her to prevent her further suffering and was
found 'not guilty' by the jury. The youngest of his four other children
had also died whilst he was in prison awaiting his trial and the story
generated overwhelming sympathy for the 28-year-old when he was
released.
