Sir Harry Oakes: The Bahamas Murder Mystery | Great Crimes and Trials of the Twentieth Century

Описание: American-born Sir Harry Oakes had made his fortune in the gold mines of Canada before moving to the tax haven of the Bahamas. In July 1943, in the middle of the Second World War, Sir Harry was found murdered in his home. His son-in-law, Count Alfred de Marigny, was suspected of murdering him, but the Duke of Windsor (former King Edward VIII and governor of the Bahamas)'s decision to bring in two American police captains from Miami to assist with the investigation ultimately proved to be an error of judgment on the Duke's part, and de Marigny was ultimately acquitted. Was de Marigny the real culprit, as many suspected?

Please note that this programme was made in 1995. de Marigny died in 1998. Nancy Oakes died in 2005. The murder of Sir Harry Oakes remains unsolved as of 2020.
