The Murder of Madame X The Limeslade Mystery, 1929At 10 oclock on the evening of 4th February 1929, the small clifftop bungalow colony of Limeslade in south west Wales, was awoken by the sound of a woman screaming in terror. People came out onto their terraces in the bitter night and stood in silence to listen but Olive Dimick, recognising the voice to be that of her neighbour Kate Jackson, ran around to the rear of her friends bungalow: here she found Kate dying, and her friends husband leaning over his wife. She spoke only one word, when asked who her assailant was... By the first light of morning the remote bungalow colony swarmed with police and reporters, because it was learned that the dying woman had been the key witness at a sensational embezzlement trial in London 2 years earlier, at which she had been known as Madame X... Who was the woman? She claimed to be the daughter of a duke, a famous novelist, a spy, and she lived in fear of her life... Where did the money, which she received in envelopes addressed to various names come from? And who had written her anonymous threatening letters? Scotland Yard was soon very sure of the killers identity but would it be possible to gain sufficient evidence to hang the man who killed Madame X? Mark John Maguire, whose acclaimed Youtube True Crime documentary channel "They Got Away With Murder" specialises in unsolved murder cases, has spent some years investigating the murder at Limeslade Bay, tracking down the principals involved, and the relatives and descendants of those who heard the screams and witnessed the events of that night in February 1929. This is the story of that terrible night in February 1929, and of a man who got away with murder and much more...
