Michael Hart

Date of crime: 10th November 1975

Motive: He needed money for when he got out of jail.

Crime: Murder of Angela Wooliscroft during a bank raid in Richmond, Surrey.

Method: She was shot in the left carotid artery from a sawn-off shotgun.

Sentence: Life imprisonment, with the recommendation of at least 25 years.

Interesting facts: The shot that Angela had been killed with proved a stumbling point in the investigation, as it was of a different type to that found in the possession of Michael Hart. However, it was discovered that Hart's shot was actually from a batch that had been mislabelled in the factory. So the types of shot did match after all.
