Murder Most Foul Magazine Murder Most Foul 125 Retour à l'édition précédente

Killer, fraudster, prison escapee extraordinaire ...and war hero. The life and crimes of Ralph Jerome von Braun Selz have to be read to be believed. How many murderers, for example, enjoy such gratitude from a government for their wartime service that a delegation is sent to speak on their behalf in front of the parole board? Trouble was, the brutal killing of his lover Ada Rice may well not have been a one-off. Was he, in fact, a serial killer? See “I’m Beginning To Need My Own Private Cemetery” for the full story.

In Germany, investigators had long held their suspicions about creepy blond, bespectacled Kurt-Werner Wichmann. He was never brought to justice for the murders he was suspected of in his lifetime. But in 2017 the mystery of what had happened to victim Birgit Meier finally became clear – her skeletal remains excavated from beneath concrete in the garage of his former home. Find out more in “The Monster In The Forest Of The Dead”.

Finally, don’t miss the “The Coronation Street Murder” – an intriguing British case requested by a reader that sounds like it’s from the popular soap opera, but is definitely not.
