The Churchwarden Killer - Part 1

The Churchwarden Killer - Part 1

“I think I will get away with most of it”. Those were the words uttered by a deputy churchwarden while he was in the custody of police. He was arrested when his second elderly lover in as many years was admitted to hospital. The first had died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. How had this man, in his late twenties, who bore all the hallmarks of a god-fearing churchgoer, worked his way not only into the wills but also the beds of a 69-year-old man and 83-year-old woman, who were neighbours on the same street? That was a puzzle Thames Valley police were determined to solve (Part 1 of 2).
