Edith Drew-Bear was found flaoting in a water tank on the East Brighton Golf Course on 25 November. She had died from strangulation but she had also been shot. Percy Anderson admitted that he had quarrelled with her and was arrested and when they searched his house they found bullets that matched the type that had been used to shoot her.
