Alec Wilkinson murdered his mother-in-law Clara Farrell 50 who he stabbed to death at Bradbury Balk Lane, Wombwell on 1 May 1955.
He had married in 1954 but his mother-in-law, Clara Farrell, always found ways to belittle him. When he had first married he and his wife lived with his parents but Clara Farrell later talked her into returning home to live with her.
