A former lawyer will discuss her new book at a Lichfield Literature Festival event.

Kate Morgan’s Murder: The Biography explores the mysterious cases that have contributed to the murder law in the UK.

A spokesperson said:

> “From Richard Parker, the cannibalised cabin boy whose death at the hands of his hungry crewmates led the Victorian courts to decisively outlaw a defence of necessity to murder, to Archibald Kinloch, the deranged Scottish aristocrat whose fratricidal frenzy paved the way for the defence of diminished responsibility, Murder: The Biography chronicles the legal history of homicide, showing how killers, victims, lawyers and judges have all played a part in making the UK murder law what it is today.”
