Top criminal barristers Sasha Wass QC and Jeremy Dein QC re-examine a notorious murder of a policeman that led to the execution of two known criminals. Essex, 1927. On a quiet country lane on a September morning, local policeman PC George William Gutteridge was found dead, having suffered multiple gunshot wounds. A police investigation was launched, which linked the murder to a stolen car found over 20 miles away in Brixton. A bullet casing was found in the vehicle and pioneering forensic ballistics evidence connected the killing of PC Gutteridge to Clapham-based mechanic Frederick Guy Browne. Browne's birthname was Leo, and he was a man of two sides. To his family, he was a loving husband and caring father. Professionally, he was Frederick, a skilled mechanic and petty criminal.Four months after the crime, Browne was arrested along with associate William Kennedy, and both men were charged with the murder of PC Gutteridge.
