Albert Goozee
Albert William Goozee was a British murderer and paedophile, whose crimes inspired the 1996 film ''Intimate Relations''. In June 1956 Goozee murdered his landlady and her teenaged daughter in the New Forest, Hampshire. Sentenced at the Hampshire Assizes, Winchester, to death by hanging in December 1956, Goozee was given a reprieve four days before his execution was due to take place and was instead detained at Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital. Released in 1971, Goozee, who had been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, was subsequently convicted of several further violent crimes, and in 1996 was convicted of indecently assaulting two girls, aged 12 and 13. Sentencing, Mr. Justice Gower said one of the two cases had been "one of the most serious cases of indecent assault that I have ever had to deal with." In October 2009 Goozee again became the subject of media interest when it was discovered that he had been released on compassionate grounds into the care of a nursing home for the elderly in Wigston, Leicester. While there, Goozee began a hunger strike and refused all food and medication. After developing a blood clot in his heart and complications from diabetes he died on 25 November 2009. The coroner recorded a verdict of death by natural causes.
==Murders==
In January 1955 33-year-old Goozee, who had served as a merchant seaman, became a lodger at 5 Alexandra Road, Parkstone, Dorset. His landlady was 53-year-old Lydia Margaretta "Greta" Leakey, who lived there with her disabled husband Thomas Vincent Leakey and their 14-year-old daughter Norma Noreen Leakey.〔 Mr. Leakey, who had one of his legs amputated during World War II, was described in court as living almost a separate life from Mrs. Leakey and the two slept in separate bedrooms. Within a few weeks of moving in Goozee had started an affair with Mrs. Leakey. At his trial, Goozee claimed that he was seduced by the daughter and had conducted an affair with her also. Having apparently discovered the affair between Goozee and his wife, Mr. Leakey left the home for a while, but in early June 1956 returned and demanded that Goozee leave. Goozee moved out and took up lodgings on Sunnyhill Road, Parkstone.〔
On 17 June 1956 Goozee took Lydia Leakey and her daughter out for a picnic at Bignell Wood near Cadnam in the New Forest, using the Wolseley car which Mrs. Leakey had purchased for him.〔〔 Goozee was later found by the side of the road bleeding from a stab wound to his abdomen. A short distance away police found the bodies of Lydia and Norma Leakey. Lydia had died from a fractured skull and multiple stab wounds, while her daughter was killed by a single stab wound which had penetrated her heart. Post mortem examination revealed that Norma had also been indecently assaulted. The murder weapon, a double-edged Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife with a 7 inch blade, was found concealed in Goozee's car. Goozee's injury was later determined to be self-inflicted.
Goozee was treated at the Royal South Hampshire Hospital where he was held under police guard. On 19 June 1956 he was charged with indecently assaulting Norma Leakey and after being discharged from the hospital on 25 June 1956 he was charged with both murders.〔〔 When the case came to trial the prosecution, led by Norman Roy Fox-Andrews Q.C., elected to proceed on the charge of Norma's murder only, with the murder of Mrs. Leakey to remain on file.〔 The trial took place in Winchester, Hampshire. After deliberation, the jury of seven men and five women returned a verdict of guilty as charged, and on 6 December 1956 the judge, Mr. Justice Havers, sentenced Goozee to death by hanging. Goozee appealed against the conviction, and the appeal was heard by Baron Goddard, the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Cassels and Mr. Justice Lynskey, who dismissed it on 14 January 1957. Despite the dismissal of the appeal, Rab Butler, the Home Secretary, recommended Goozee be reprieved on 25 January 1957, four days before he was due to be executed, on grounds that he had been "provoked beyond reason", and the sentence commuted to life imprisonment.〔 Goozee was transferred to Broadmoor, a secure psychiatric hospital, where he was held until released on licence in 1971, aged 48.〔
