“Murder as a science – The Wickedness of Dr. Warder” by Rosemary Cook.
Our guest speaker on the night will be Rosemary Cook, who will talk about “Murder as a science – The Wickedness of Dr. Warder”.
When Dr Warder’s young wife died in Brighton in 1866, her doctor refused to give a death certificate and an inquest was held. with the police carrying out covert surveillance, Dr Warder made a last urgent trip to London with a box full of money… Only after his late wife’s inquest was concluded did the extent and magnitude of his wickedness become public knowledge.
Rosemary Cook is a nurse by background and an amateur local historian. She has considerable experience researching medical and nursing related stories, and in particular, previously unknown historical crimes. This led to the publication of two of her books, ‘The Nightingale Shore Murder’ and ‘The Crimes of Dr Gramshaw’. Now retired, Rosemary regularly gives talks about her research and the intriguing stories she has uncovered.
