Olive Henrietta Olivia Robarts Durand-Deacon is shot in the head by serial killer John George Haigh aka The Acid Bath Murderer at the age of 69 in 2 Leopold Road, Crawley, Sussex, United Kingdom. Haigh stripped Durand-Deacon of her valuables, including a Persian lamb coat and put her into a sulphuric acid bath. Investigation of the sludge at the workshop by the pathologist Keith Simpson revealed three human gallstones and part of a denture which was later identified by Mrs Durand-Deacon's dentist during the trial and conviction. |
