Step into the enigmatic world of Herbert Rouse Armstrong, the only solicitor in British history to be hanged for murder.

Known as the "Hay Poisoner," This presentation tells the true story of a seemingly ordinary country lawyer whose quiet life in early 20th-century Hay-on-Wye ended in scandal and tragedy.

Known as a polite, dependable family man, Armstrong shocked Britain when he was accused of poisoning his wife and attempting to murder a business rival with arsenic-laced chocolates.

Immerse yourself in the intricate details of his life, trial, and eventual downfall. You’ll hear about his background, his work, his family life, and the events that led to his arrest, trial, and execution.

The case has all the ingredients of a classic murder mystery; indeed, it is a near-perfect whodunnit. But who, in fact, did do it? Was Armstrong really a murderer? Was he truly a calculating killer, or a respectable man caught in a web of suspicion and circumstance.

The travelling costs will be stated from the outset so there will be no nasty surprises.

Payment is at the time of the presentation, or within 7 days if a prior agreement has been made. An Invoice will be supplied.

This presentation is suitable for Zoom.
