Broadcasts as tribute to Lustgarten’s work

Fine 8.8. C. radio programmes about English crime were written and presented in the past by Edgar Lustgarten, as many listeners will recall.

Edgar Lustgarten died last year and as a tribute to him his series “Trials for Murder” is being rebroadcast, beginning tonight on the National radio programme. Lustgarten had both

legal training and skill as an Oxford debater to bring to the courtroom dramas he so lovingly reconstructed on air. Over a period of 25 years he became one of the best known voices on British radio. The first of the “Trials for Murder” being replayed tonight is “The Peasenhall Mystery.” In places such as the small village of Peasenhall

people are prone to gossip; and when William Gardiner, a devout Methodist and respected citizen, became friendly with Rose Harsent, tongues wagged. Then one night Rose was found dead with her throat cut. She was pregnant and Gardiner the obvious suspect. But more than one jury failed to agree.
