Later, more information would come to light, along with other tragic deaths connected to the case and the discovery of a further key suspect.📖 Prefer to read?

In January 1990, Ontario was gripped by one of Canada’s largest manhunts in 15 years. Peter John Peters, a violent ex-convict known as ‘The Tattoo Man’, terrorised the province for several days, leaving a trail of theft, assault and murder. From the brutal killing of a 63-year-old cleaner to the stabbing of two young women and a bank robbery, his crime spree tested law enforcement and left communities in fear.📘 My latest book: Wartime London's 'Bonnie and Clyde': The Crime Spree of Betty Jones and Karl Hulten https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wartime-Londons-Bonnie-Clyde-Hulten/dp/1036129616📬 Subscribe to my free newsletter: https://prashganendran.com💡 Support my workPatreon (audio-only ad-free episodes): https://www.patreon.com/prashsmurdermap☕ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/prashsmurdermap💵 PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/prashsmurdermap🙏 Thank you for watching.

In June 1928, a newly married Chinese couple arrived in the Lake District to enjoy their honeymoon. Days later, 28-year-old Wai Sheung Siu was found strangled in woodland near Derwentwater. Suspicion fell on her husband as hidden jewellery, cryptic notes, and reports of mysterious men and secret societies became part of a sensational murder case.📘 My latest book: Wartime London's 'Bonnie and Clyde': The Crime Spree of Betty Jones and Karl Hulten https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wartime-Londons-Bonnie-Clyde-Hulten/dp/1036129616📺 Subscribe for video versions:https://youtube.com/@prashsmurdermap📖 Prefer to read?
