Caroline Mary Luard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caroline Mary Luard (d. August 24, 1908) was the victim of an unsolved murder known as the Seal Chart Murder after she was mysteriously shot and killed at an isolated summerhouse in a heavily wooded area near Ightham, Kent. Her husband, Major General Luard, later committed suicide. It has since been suggested that John Dickman, who was hanged for killing a passenger on a train in 1910 may have been involved in her death.
