South Hetton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Hetton is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated a few miles to the east of Durham.

The village came to the attention of the nation in January 1967 when the body of fruit machine magnate Angus Sibbett was found in his Jaguar car under Pesspool Bridge. Dennis Stafford and Michael Luvaglio were later convicted of the crime, although there have been on going campaigns to clear both names. The killing inspired the 1970's gangster film Get Carter starring Michael Caine.
