Carlton Gardens Beer Poisoning 1905

 

May 5th, 1905 in the Carlton Gardens 3 people were poisoned with prussic acid/cyanide in beer; Richard Barry, having imbibed more than the other gardener, John Mulgrave and Constable Lancaster, died from the effects.

Despite police searches, no one was ever found or arrested for this murder.

Someone trying it out? A rehearsal, perhaps, before the intended target?
