Brian Chandler murdered Martha Annie Dodd 83 at 4a Victoria Road, Darlington on 11 June 1958.

He had been to her home the previous day with a friend to see if there was anything worth stealing knocking on her door in the pretence of looking for work. She had told the friend that she might have some the next day whilst Brian Chandler stole a bicycle.
