Vera May Glasspool

On Wednesday the 11th of July 1917, Eli Glasspool and his daughter Edith retraced the route usually taken by their daughter and sister Vera May Glasspool. She was working at a local estate called Longwood House in Owslebury, near Winchester in Hampshire. She regularly returned home a short distance away on her days off on Sundays and Tuesdays. That previous Tuesday however she did not arrive and her family became worried. Around half way along the route, her father and sister came across her body by the side of the road and it was clear she had been attacked and murdered. What happened in this small village that day?
