yorkshirecath Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 My grandfather went to prison for attempted murder in 1945. His name was Harry Gower. He stabbed my grandmother with an 8in knife and also hit her with a hammer. According to the newspaper report they had quarreled earlier about him going to the pub(he was apparently an alcoholic). He said he didn't know what had come over him. One minute he was sitting in the armchair the next minute he had stabbed her. She spent a long time in hospital but did recover. However, some 2 yrs later she died of a strangulated hernia, the coroners report said it was due to the stabbing some 2yrs earlier. So he did, in fact, kill her :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
