Murder Most Foul Magazine Murder Most Foul 114 Vorige editie

One of the most extraordinary murder cases in criminal history features in this latest edition of MMF. Frederick Bailey Deeming’s psychopathic killings took him from Britain to Australia but the lifelong swindler’s cross-continental criminal activities saw him active in South Africa and Europe, too. Born in Leicestershire, Deeming had run away to sea at the age of 16 and in 1880s Australia he was considered a reliable worker before he stole from his employers. When Deeming turned to murder the shocking savagery of it was enough to make headlines worldwide and invoke speculation in some quarters that “Mad Fred” could have been Jack the Ripper. Read “A Killing Career Without Parallel” in this issue for the full story.

Goofy and strange but also wealthy and successful, thrift-store boss Herbert Baumeister was a devoted father and family man. The trouble was, he also had a liking for hanging out at gay bars in Indiana and strangling those who made the mistake of being lured away by him.
