LONDON SENSATION
TAXI-CAB MURDER. VICTIM FROM PALMERSTON NORTH. Per Press Association. PALMERSTON N., November 22. The sensational London murder, the victim being Ethel Ireland, whose throat was cut by a man named Igguldon, has direct local interest, for the murdered woman formerly resided in Palmerston North. Her death recalls the level-crossing accident at Monrad street in July, 1920, when a horse attached to a spring-cart driven by Thomas Sandfora, who was accompanied by his wife, was crashed into by the Napier express, Mrs Sandford dying from her injuries. The Sandfords were the parents of the murdered woman, who was married to Horace Ireland. Ireland at the time was manager of a local jewellery establishment. There were three children of the marriage, Gladys May (8), Ethel Isabel (2f), and Horace Alan (14 months). The murdered Woman, accompanied by her father and the children, later left for England by the Tainui in November, 1920. Later Ireland left, presumably for England.
