81 | Murder at the Garibaldi Inn: The True Crime Story of Constable Herbert Burrows

In November 1925, police constable Herbert Burrows was found guilty of murdering publican Ernest Laight, his wife Doris, and their young son Robert at the Garibaldi Inn in Worcester. The discovery was made by the family’s charwoman, who raised the alarm after finding the doors unlocked and the till emptied. The case exposed the calculated betrayal of trust within a small community and led to Burrows becoming the last person from Worcester to be executed by hanging.
