Murder of Mr Weare and the Thurtell confessions detailed
A prolonged witness narrative outlines the murder of Mr Weare by John Thurtell and accomplice Hunt. It covers their movements at the Couch and Horses and Probart's, the disposal of the body, confiscated notes and a sack with cord, Hunt's confession, and the pursuit by magistrates leading to the burial at Elstree Churchyard. The account includes statements from Matetsall and Noel, and provides background on John and Thomas Thurtell, their characters, earlier crimes, and the aftermath on their families.
