The Curious Case of William Chevis
News of the Times Episode 326 | 1931
1931 Aldershot and Lieut Chevis, halfway through his favourite meal, Manchurian Partridge, very shortly afterwards is beset by excruciating pain and dies within a few hours by strychnine poisoning.
To add to the mystery, the family dog vanishes shortly afterwards and is then found dead.
On the day of his son’s funeral, Lieut Chevis’s ex Judge father, receives a cruel telegram from Dublin with the words: “Hooray Hooray Hooray”
Several days later, he receives a second telegram promising that the murderer will never be found - Hooray.
This case captivated the public and the papers! Who killed Lieut Chevis?
Was it his beautiful new wife?
Was it his beautiful new wife’s ex-husband who had only very recently suddenly reappeared?
Was it an enemy of Lieut Chevis or an enemy of his wife’s?
Or, our own personal theory - an enemy of his father’s, an ex-judicial judge in Lahore, India.
We take a look at the background, the evidence, and the papers regarding the curious case of William Chevis in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
