June 17, 1924 - Archibald Hall
Hall's crimes unfolded within the rarefied world of British aristocratic households, where his position as a trusted domestic servant gave him sustained and intimate access to his victims. Working as a butler, he used the social camouflage of service and deference to commit a series of murders across Scotland and England during the late 1970s. The contrast between his cultivated manner and his actions made him a distinctive case in British criminal history.
