Doing some research on unsolved murders for my next book and found an interesting one -
An heir, old enough to marry, his mother doesn't want to part with him and/or disapproves of his choice of wife.
The mother tries to dispose of the soon to be wife - ends up accidentally offing the apple of her eye.
In real life the chap was a journalist, who was found dead from potassium cyanide poisoning 3 hours before his wedding - there were theories that it was people trying to quash a story, a jilted lover (male and female), a plot to kill the Government ministers and all sorts of mad stuff!
For extra points the son returns as a ghost hell bent on solving his own murder. Conspiracy theories abound!
