    A number of people have asked if they can help support my channel - I don't have any adverts on my channel (and don't intend to) but if anyone wishes to help defray the expenses of making these videos in some small way, they can buy me a cup of coffee! www.buymeacoffee.com/MarkJohnMaguire

    Just a note to say Mark is working hard on the next episode. The reason it takes so long is that (unlike many youtubers) Mark researches from primary sources - police files, witness interview statements, contemporary newspaper accounts, court trial transcipts and other relevant material (photos etc) including the aftermath and story of the participants and their descendants in the following years (where possible). From these, he analyses and constructs a timeline, developes his case and ends up writing about 15,000 words (the length of an Undergraduate thesis). From this, he writes a 1500 word narrative (about an hour's worth) to lay out the story in the best manner. Then he compiles and produces the video, drawing sketches where photos are lacking, and records the narrative and prologue face-to-camera piece. It's a long job! But this is why these documentaries are such a high standard in terms of accuracy, analyses, detail and professionalism. :)

      Well worth waiting for Melanie. You can tell from the 1st video viewed how meticulously his videos are made. They stand out. I haven't seem every true crime on YT, but I've a hell of a ton! This is one of the best. Better than some very expensively put on channels. And I'd even say some mainstream like 20/20 from NYC. Where the music is too much, too loud and there's way too much talk. Love this channel. Greetings from Michigan, USA xx

      Apparently Mrs. Murfitt strongly denied that her husband had had an inappropriate relationship with his niece, although she was willing to tell the police that he had frequently been unfaithful to her. (Take that for what it is worth.)

    Another masterpiece! One of the most intriguing murder mysteries ever. This is absolutely fascinating, carefully researched, very well presented and scripted tale of the 60-year old mystery of who murdered wealthy Suffolk business-man William Murfitt. Mark- although, you named the true murderer, housekeeper, who was a horrible woman and very free with the murder, but this cunning woman by her glib explanations got away with murder. The research undertaken by yourself on the case, including old photos and also the post- crime life of the accused are excellent. I love your sketches, as always, they show that you convey the story using these simple, talented drawings. Thank you, Mark, this was a brilliant story and your usual high standard of narration. Congrats!

At the beginning I never suspected Mr.Walker to be an accomplice however, due to the fact that he actually took her , a mere housekeeper, to social gatherings seemed suspicious and the 2 were later married made me realize it. Mary was a sinister woman and a thief ! I couldn’t get over the pattern of hers excusing herself to be found going through other people’s belongings! That must’ve been rather too awkward!

    Absolutely fascinating and boy are you a good researcher!! Very high standard of work indeed.Had this been fiction it would probably have been dismissed as being too far fetched.I ve never even heard of this case before how on earth did you discover this story?
    I can see alot of work has gone into this and I particularly like the epilogue of all those involved. There are other similar channels on youtube but yours is in a league of its own please keep them coming.
