Ridgewalk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Can anyone remember the case of one of the Fitzwilliam / Wortley aristocratic family who killed a pub landlord and his wife whilst driving under the influence of alcohol. I remember the press described the guy as the "Rock Star Earl" because he fancied himself as some sort of rock star. Landlord and wife were from Barnsley I think I think the incident was sometime in the 1970s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopT Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 He used to call at the Barracks Garage at Hillsboro to fill his sports car. He was forever under the influence and one day he showed his driving licenced which was bulging with tickets for drink driving and speeding, he thought it was clever. Happy Days! but a Sad Earl PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
