The Red Barn Murder was a notorious murder committed in
Suffolk,
England in 1827. A young woman, Maria Marten, was shot dead by her lover, William Corder, the son of the local
squire. The two had arranged to meet at the Red Barn, a local landmark, before eloping to
Ipswich in order to be married. Maria was never heard from again. Corder fled the scene and although he sent Marten's family letters claiming she was in good health, her body was later discovered buried in the barn after her stepmother claimed to have dreamt about the murder.
