Listen Later

In the early hours of August 1933, Charles Fox was murdered during a violent break-in at his West Bromwich home. The crime triggered a large-scale police investigation that uncovered a trail of forensic evidence linking the attack to 21-year-old Stanley Eric Hobday. As the manhunt intensified, Hobday’s movements led officers across the country. This episode explores a shocking crime, its swift resolution, and the public reaction that followed.
