In this episode, I tell the story of Albert Dryden and Harry Collinson.
In 1988, Albert Dryden built a sunken bungalow on his land without planning permission.
Over the next three years, he had a constant back-and-forth battle with Derwentside District Council, who demanded he demolish the bungalow.
On June 20, 1991, the council, led by principal planning officer Harry Collinson, arrived at Albert's land, intent on demolishing it themselves.
Confronting the councilman with a gun, Albert shot and killed Harry in an incident captured by TV news cameras.
Albert received a life sentence for Harry's murder on April 1, 1992, and passed away 26 years later on September 15, 2018.
