Murder at the Priory

Posted in Crime, Oddities by Greg Ross on August 3rd, 2007

In 1876, London barrister Charles Bravo took three days to die of antimony poisoning but refused to say who had poisoned him or why.

An inquest determined it was a case of willful murder, but no one was ever arrested or charged. To this day, no one knows who killed him.
