On January 5th 1958 nineteen year old Dutch au pair Mary Kriek alighted from her bus at Foxes Corner, Eight Ash Green. It was 10:45 at night and she had only to walk about 300 yards to her home at Bullbanks Farm. This was a journey she would never complete. The next morning a tractor driver found her body in a ditch a 20 minute drive away on Dedham Road near Boxted. She had been beaten over the head seventeen times with a tyre lever.
