1871 murder in London, England

Jane Maria Clouson was found bludgeoned with a hammer and nearly dead in the early hours of April 26, 1871, dying in hospital four days later. Edmund Walter Pook (1851–1920) was charged for her murder, but found not guilty. Clouson's murder has been referred to as the Eltham murder. The murder, and ensuing police investigation and prosecution, were the subject of considerable press attention.
