Have They Solved The Marlowe Murder After 332 Years
A 1593 Deptford death of Christopher Marlowe is reexamined by Dr. J Leslie Hotson. He traces records at St Nicholas Church Deptford and argues the killer was Francis Frezer, not Archer, rewriting the historic suspect list. The inquiry links Vaughan and Ingram as parallel leads before narrowing to a name read as Frezer in Elizabethan handwriting.
