1974. First paperback edition. 192pp. and 16 black and white illustrations. In November 5, 1972 two men, one carrying a gun, forced their way into the home of Bob and Muriel Patience at the Barn Restaurant in Braintree. Bob, his wife and daughter Beverley were shot and Muriel died later in hospital. Within days, the hunt for the murderer concentrated on one man - George Ince - who was identified by the surviving Patiences. He gave himself up, went through two murder trials, yet was finally acquitted. John Brook, a northener, was later convicted of the murder. Why was the wrong man charged? In this book both of Ince's murder trials are reconstructed, and finally the authors make a thorough inquiry into identification procedures, looking at the rules which govern identity parades and ask whether these were properly observed in the case of Ince. The book is bound in paperback form in the original card covers. It is in very good condition with some shelf wear to the covers and slight fading to the spine. The contents are secure and clean with no inscription.
