25: The Blazing Car Murder

25: The Blazing Car Murder

At around 1:50am in the early morning hours of the 6th November 1930, two men were walking back from a Guy Fawkes dance in the centre of Northampton. They both noticed a fire in the distance. Both men dismissed it as it had been Bonfire night and a fire was not unusual to see. The men then noticed a man coming towards them dressed in professional clothes and carrying an attaché case. The men thought it was odd to see a man dressed for work at that hour but they conversed for a minute and the men parted ways. As they approached the fire they realised that it was not just any fire but it was actually a car engulfed in flames. The investigation that ensued was bizarre and led to a very baffling outcome.
