A Very Whitstable Murder II
“I am terribly sorry - it is a diabolical thing.”
Back by popular demand after my series of sell-out shows across Kent in 2025 and 2026, join me at The Horsebridge Centre in Whitstable for an interactive evening examining a long-forgotten Whitstable murder-investigation. Once again, the audience becomes the jury for the night to examine the exact same evidence presented at the original trial…will you find the prime suspect guilty or not guilty?
It was a perfect summer’s day for a drive through the Kent countryside. Three women leave a country pub to return one of them to their now famous Whitstable home - but a picnic stop ends in complete disaster. The prime suspect had left a trail of mayhem and destruction around the world, all centring on his dangerous obsession with one thing….guns. But was he bad, or simply very, very, mad?
The story was so shocking it made headlines across the globe - after rediscovering the case, I thought it deserved to be brought back to wider attention, especially given the tragic parallels with an infamous set of Kent murders that gripped Britain several decades later. So join me in June for an incredible night of true crime and tragedy.
Short Course: The History of Whitstable
Would you like to know more about the history of Whitstable? Join me at The Horsebridge Centre in this 6-week course to find out about this amazing town.
This short course is aimed at all history lovers - each week will take a theme to explore in depth, with topics including ‘Whitstable at War’, ‘Sail & Steam’, ‘Oysters’ and ‘Fires & Floods’. I spent 25 years as a local teacher and lecturer, so I bring huge experience in creating an enjoyable environment for learning – bring your thinking caps though, as this will be an interactive experience where everyone will be expected to become mini-historians for six weeks!
