A proposito di questo titolo

In 2025, two pocket watches were sold at an auction, prompting renewed interest in a 170 year old East Anglia murder case. They were made by skilled German craftsman Lorenz Beha, who came to England to set up his watchmaking business in Norfolk. On a cold November day in 1853, Beha was found murdered on a quiet country road by a local labourer who happened to be one of his customers. The timepieces are not the only reminders of this forgotten piece of history, as the killer’s death mask survives as a gruesome relic of this tragic case.
