The Camberley Outrage - Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 362 | 1906
It is 1906 Camberley, Surrey and independently wealthy, eccentric, senior spinsters, the Hogg sisters, are going about their usual tasks on a June afternoon. 
Suddenly, 62 year old Caroline Hogg, clutching her throat, staggers to a neighbours house and, struggling to speak, manages to relay that her sister is in trouble at their home.  Upon reaching the Hogg residence, older sister Mary Ann is found lying in a pool of blood.  Her throat has been cut so deeply, her head is partly cut away from her body.   There are gashes upon her head.  In her hand, she clutches a hammer head.
The suspected motive is robbery, but nothing has been taken. 
This puzzling case brought Scotland Yard to the scene. However, clues are scarce.  Then another incident occurs not far away.  Then another a few days later.  Oh yes, and there seems to be a known lunatic roaming the countryside.
We take a look at this famous case from 1909 involving Scotland Yard and the Camberley outrage in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
