The Brewery Street Siege (1958)

Days of Horror Podcast

"Ta-ta. You won't see me again. Im going to shoot my wife and baby," - those were the last words spoken by 26-year old, Henry King on Friday 12th December 1958 to an acquaintance named Sheila Whipp at the Dun Horse Hotel in Blackburn.

Her reply to such a statement was simple enough, "don't be stupid."

King then handed her a small looking object that she initially believed to have been nothing more than a cigarette lighter.

The object was in fact a bundle of around twenty-five bullet cartridges.
