#169 - Samuel Bragg: The Miser's Demise (Maida Vale, London, England)

On the morning of Friday 17th July 1964, Kathleen Cotter, a mother of three who lived in the top floor flat of 7 Randolph Avenue in Maida Vale found 77-year-old Samuel Bragg dead in his bed. The old man had been ill for many months owing to malnutrition and advancing dementia.As was protocol, the police were called, an investigation was conducted, but his autopsy would confirm what everyone suspected, that old Samuel had died in his sleep. It’s a tragic story which happens every day, in every town……only, a small sound heard higher up in the house would lead to a truly disturbing story which nobody suspected and would lead to the arrest of the murderer of Samuel Bragg.Date: Friday 17th July 1964Location: Ground Floor Flat, 7 Randolph Avenue, Maida Vale, London, UK, W9Victims: 1 (Samuel Bragg)Culprits: 1 (Timothy Noel Cotter)Keywords: child, teenager, robbery, killing, pensioner, pillowBlog - https://www.murdermiletours.com/blog/murder-mile-uk-true-crime-podcast-169-samuel-bragg-the-misers-demiseMurder Mile is researched, written and performed by Michael J Buchanan-Dunne of Murder Mile Walks with the main musical themes written and performed by Erik Stein and Jon Boux of Cult With No Name with additional music, as used under the Creative Commons License 4.0 (Attribution) via Free Music Archive and YouTube Music. A full listing of tracks used and a full transcript for each episode is listed here and a legal disclaimer.FOLLOW US HERE:FacebookTwitterInstagramMurder Mile Discussion GroupYoutubeLink to Murder Mile MugsLink to YouTube ChannelLink to Live ShowLink to SEEING RED PODCASTSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/murdermile.
