The Scotsman, 10th July 1908
A man (William Butler) charged with killing a mother and dangerously wounding her daughter was reported of hanging himself in Jail on this day. The report also states that head-Constable Frizelle had been wounded whilst trying to arrest M Butler. On interesting aspect of the case is that the daughter (Bridget Morrisey) who whilst in a critical condition, had been declared a lunatic since the attack and confined to an asylum.
So here we not only have a violent attack, but also a death in jail.
