Thomas Munroe

Thomas Munroe was convicted of the murder of Isaac Turner although he denied it until the end.

At first he denied any involvement in the murder saying that he had been in a pub in Wath Brow Top with another man. However, after he was convicted he made a confession saying that he had said he was in the pub to clear both himself and his brother who was also involved. He said that he had otherwise expected to be reprieved saying that he did not expect them to hang one as young as him and would not have made a confession of his part in the affair.
