Murder Mile UK True Crime

On the 11th of February 1954, at ‘Sunset House’, a care home in Ealing, West London, the body of 42-year-old Isobel Chesney was found having drowned in her bath. Her killer, her husband, John Donald Merrett assumed that Police would believe this was an accident, but having also battered to death her mother, 68 year old Lady Mary Menzies, when she got in the way, the investigation quickly led to a killer who thought he had the perfect alibi - being hundreds of miles away in Amsterdam at the time of the killing – but his murder plot was fuelled by more confidence than common sense.
