CRIMINAL SESSIONS: The Catchick Street Affair, by SCMP
WEST POINT MURDER: Young Boy Stabbed to Death, by SCMP
Hello All -
I'm new to Gwulo, and first of all may I say that I'm in awe of the wealth of resoures on this website - so much to read and look at on here.
I'm carrying out some research about the above news items, published in SCMP in 1920. Would anybody be able to kindly point out to me how I could go about finding court reports/police records regarding this murder (I've searched through legal research databases like LexisNexis and Westlaw to no avail)? Or where I can research further about the building (38 Catchick Street)/parties involved?
Would appreciate any help whatsoever!
Thanks & Kind regards
Grace

That's an interesting case.
That's an interesting case. Is there a family connection that caught your interest?
I haven't heard of any court records being available from so long ago - hopefully someone will jump in if they've seen them anywhere.
Have you tried looking at the other newspapers from around those dates? Maybe they reported on the incident differently, and can add more detail to the story.
Regards, David
