@caledronia8: In 1950, a night at the circus in Hamilton ended in murder.John Edwin Newall had stayed behind at the Palace Grounds to watch Bertram Mills Circus being dismantled when violence broke out. He was knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked, dying from his injuries five days later. Four Hamilton men were prosecuted and three were convicted of murder and sentenced to hang, before their death sentences were eventually commuted to life imprisonment. More than 75 years later, how many people in Hamilton have ever heard of the Hamilton Circus Murder?

My great uncle was killed by a US soldier in a brawl at a party meant to bring the British and US soldiers together in 1942 in Belfast. His name was Owen McLoughlin and he was born and raised in Motherwell. Apparently the British soldiers hated the US soldiers and there had been alot of fighting amongst them at that point.
