Murder Most Foul Magazine Murder Most Foul Issue 111 Zurück Ausgabe

The murder of 35-year-old Londoner Daisy Wallis remains an intriguing mystery to this day – nearly 70 years later. She was horrifically stabbed to death in the August of 1949 in the High Holborn office where she ran her business. Sex and robbery were quickly eliminated as motives. So why was she killed? Was it the random work of a violent, unhinged attacker?

For the next decade, the inquiry into Daisy’s murder continued. At one stage Frank Mitchell, a notorious associate of the Kray twins, made a curious confession. Could he really have been involved? Read “Did The Mad Axe-Man Kill Daisy?” in this issue for the full story.

Anthony Garcia blamed two fellow-doctors for ruining his career and embarked on a deadly revenge. Four people died as a result of his murderous campaign, but when the US justice system delivered its verdict on him, Garcia couldn’t keep his eyes open. Don’t miss “Doctor Sleeps Through His Own Death Sentence” in this issue.
