A short documentary from Channel 4. In 1922, Herbert Rowse Armstrong (a solicitor working in Hay-on-Wye) was hanged for the murder of his wife by poison. In 1972 the same solicitors' practice was taken over by Martin Beales, who also coincidentally bought the house where Armstrong had lived. Beales became interested in the case and eventually came to the view that Armstrong had been framed. He talks to Armstrong's surviving daughter Margaret.
Transmitted 24 August 1997. Martin Beales (who died in 2010 www.theguardia...) wrote "Dead Not Buried" about the case in 1995 (ISBN 978-0709056027).
