Popular crime writer Anne Perry, who once served a sentence of five years in jail for a murder which she had helped in committing, died on April 10, 2023. She was 84 years old. The news was shared by Meg Davis, her Literary agent.
Anne Perry, born as Juliet Hulme, was just 15-years-old when she had helped her friend Pauline Parker to kill the latter's mother in New Zealand in 1954. Pauline Parker's mother, Honora Mary Parker, was brutally killed by being hit with a brick-- a murder that shook the nation back then. Both Hulme and Parker had planned the murder in order to avoid being separated, as Parker was being sent abroad by her parents. The teenage girls were too young to get a death penalty, and hence they were imprisoned instead.
