Synopsis
The City of Newcastle upon Tyne and surrounding towns like Gateshead, Jarrow, North and South Shields have seen some of the most intriguing murder cases of the 20th century. Perhaps the most infamous of all is the murder of John Innes Nisbet by Alexander Dickman, for which the later was hanged in August 1910. Yet within the pages of this book there are others whose stories are equally fascinating. There are the two Millers, hanged ninety minutes apart on the same day for what was a senseless crime. There is Thomas Craig, a man determined to avenge himself on the woman who had spurned him. And William Ambrose Collins, who brutally murdered a WAAF during the years of World War Two. All manner of motives are shown, all sorts of weapons are used, but in final analysis each story represents a human tragedy in which at least two people lost their lives, one each time at the end of a rope. Capital Punishment is a very emotive subject and this book is not intended to argue a case for, or against. The facts are put before the reader and it is for them to decide for themselves whether the hanging of these killers served any purpose beyond judicial revenge. Whatever the decision, Murderous Tyneside makes absorbing reading about a darker side of this city and its surroundings.
