Arthur Clegg murdered his 11 day old grand-daughter Jill Clegg who he drowned somewhere in London on 30 October 1945.
Arthur Clegg said that he had a 20 year old daughter and about 6 months earlier had noticed signs about her that indicated that she was pregnant. He said that he didn't say anything to her about it at the time but he knew that she was seeing the doctor and had complained of abdominal pains.
