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 murdered, 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.All appeals (including the House of Lords ), failed due to a proven but unexplained collision between the cars of Sibbett and Stafford & Luvaglio, although Stafford & Luvaglio at their trial, denied seeing or meeting up with Sibbett during the vital hours surrounding the actual murder The killing inspired the 1970's gangster film Get Carter starring Michael Caine.
