In 1945; just a month after VE day, a 14-year-old girl decided to take a stroll on a Sunday afternoon in the sleepy Suffolk countryside.
Discovered shoved under a bush, just a few hours after leaving her family home; she was close to death after being beaten with a large branch. She was to die just a few hours later.
Daphne Bacon’s killer was someone in an occupation the country collective trusted, and it sent shockwaves nationwide.

I lay awake all night thinking of what I had done to that poor girl.
