Murder Most Foul Magazine Murder Most Foul Issue 118 Retour à l'édition précédente

When the yacht Mignonette was shipwrecked on a doomed journey to Sydney, the crew were left stranded hundreds of miles from dry land in a flimsy lifeboat with little food and no fresh water. How could they possibly survive? Before long the idea of drawing lots to choose a sacrificial victim for food was being mooted among the crew members. But when teenager Richard Parker’s health began to fail, Captain Thomas Dudley took matters into his own hands. Was necessity a defence for a cannibal murder? Read “The Day They Ate The Cabin-Boy” and decide for yourself.

Dallas hair stylist Christopher Colbert was only too happy to take up the offer of rent-free accommodation in the home of older oddball acquaintance Ronald Shumway. Colbert’s life had been spiralling out of control and the offer seemed to be the perfect solution to his financial woes. But on the night of Shumway’s birthday in April 2015, Colbert turned killer, with a plan to get his hands on Shumway’s property and identity. This issue’s “Deadly Hairdresser Buried Bus Driver In Concrete” has the full story.
