Page "John George Haigh" Paragraph 4

On 6 July 1934, Haigh married the 23 year-old Beatrice Hamer.

The marriage soon fell apart.

The same year Haigh was jailed for fraud, Betty gave birth while he was in prison but she gave the baby girl up for adoption and left Haigh.

Likewise, his conservative family ostracised him from that point onwards.
