Sidney Harry Fox : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sidney Harry Fox
Sidney Harry Fox (died 8 April 1930) was a British petty swindler and murderer. He was executed for the murder of his mother in an attempt to obtain money from an insurance policy on her life. His case is unusual in that it is a rare example of a known matricide in the United Kingdom. His murder was detected by then recent advances in forensic pathology. ==Early life== Fox was described as "the son of decent working Norfolk parents"; little is known of his father, although it has been said that he was a railway porter. Fox was in trouble in his teens as a petty thief, for which he was birched.〔 He later developed a role as a plausible con-man, until World War I, when he obtained a job in a London bank and proceeded to forge cheques from his customers. On discovery of his dishonesty, Fox was offered immunity from prosecution on condition that he enlisted in the Army, however he enlisted in the Royal Air Force, claiming to be an Old Etonian.〔
