GIRL STRANGLED
BODY FOUND IN DITCH NEAR ENGLISH RACECOURSE EVIDENCE OF HARD STRUGGLE Reed. 10.40 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. The partly-clothed strangled body of a young woman, Miss Agnes Kesson, was discovered in a ditch near the Epsom Racecourse. The police believe the girl was hanged to a tree in a remote spot and then dumped in the ditch. Extensive bruises on the body show that Miss Kesson made a terrific struggle for life before she was overcome. It is suggested the murderer or murderers first intended to leave the girl hanging in the hope it should ba regarded as suicide. They then changed their minds, remembering the Whitehouse case, and then decided to put the body in a car and drop it along the road.
