Charles Crawford

Charles Crawford was a resident of Papsworth and the partner of Alice Lloyd. In 2006, he discovered photos of Alice and another man in bed on her laptop, which he hacked. He confronted Douglas McKinley about it and confronted him at his house. He and Alice went to stay with her parents at Glenwood Manor, following a burglary at their house. Charles was convinced Douglas forced entry into their house. He and Alice began arguing in front of her parents whilst having dinner. Sir Arthur tried to bribe Crawford to keep away from his daughter, after revealing that neither he or his wife were ever fond of him and never approved of their relationship. However, Charles stormed out of the dining room and later that night resumed his argument with Alice in bed. She confessed her love for McKinley and her desires to leave him, causing Charles to become violent. He strangled Alice to death, packed a bag and went and killed her parents in the same fashion, before fleeing the area with the bribed money in the passenger seat of a silver BMW. Charles emigrated to Dublin, where he kept his life secret from others. He never had contact with the Lloyd family again. In 2020, he was arrested by Irish guards on suspicion of murder. He was taken back to the UK and charged with Glenwood Manor murders. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
