Murder of Sir Jack Drummond

The murder investigation

Police could not find much evidence that would give them any leads to follow. They were unable to find any sign of robbery as a motive, no signs of sexual motives, no clues that would lead to anyone who would have any reason to kill the complete strangers.

Gaston Dominici said that he had covered Jack Drummond’s body with a sleeping bag after returning from attending his goats. The police did ask him questions, but Gaston was acting gruff and was not cooperative, which gathered the attention of the officers. Local farmers were usually armed with simple shotguns, most of them during the war were active in the Resistance and kept the weapons dropped by the Allies, so there were a lot of guns in the area. Gaston Dominici was a member of the Resistance and did have a gun, but the M1 carbine was an American rifle, widely used by their army during the war, and they were never dropped as Resistance support (usually British Sten guns were dropped in France).

Police did take a good look at Gaston Dominici and his family, they admitted hearing the shots, but stated they did not know anything about it and never even had any direct contact with the Drummonds at any time. Gustave told police he came to found little Elizabeth’s body first. But later, a neighbour claimed that Gustave told him Elizabeth was still alive when he stumbled on the crime scene. Gaston’s nephew said he had seen Ann and Elizabeth call at the farm the previous evening, asking to fill a water bucket.

Being under pressure from their superiors and British officials to solve the case as quickly as possible, police conducted further investigation into the involvement of Dominicis in the murder.
