In 1976 Peter Hogg killed his unfaithful wife Margaret, wrapped her body in a roll of carpet and dumped it in the Wast Water in Cumbria. The accidental discovery of the body seven years later led to Hogg's arrest and details of his 'awful marriage' coming to light. The Honeymoon Murder is about two wealthy Chinese newlyweds who arrived in the Lake District in 1928 to enjoy their honeymoon. Husband Chung Yi Mao became distraught when his wife's body was found dead in local waters. Despite his law degree, he slipped up when giving evidence to the police and it emerged that he had murdered her for her vast fortune.
