Dec. 12, 1954 - Two Women Murdered at Old Folks Home. A woman who called herself Lady Menzies, and her daughter, Mrs. Isobel Veronica Chesney, were found murdered yesterday in the Home for elderly Gentlefolk which they ran at Montpelier Road, Ealing. Mrs. Chesney, who was 48, was half clothed in a bath on the top floor of the home. She appeared to have been attacked from behind while undressing, and left to lie as she fell. Her mother, wearing a red cardigan and fully clothed, was found in front of the fire in a ground floor sitting room. Her injuries suggest that she was struck from behind. The mother had for years used a title which though claimed by her husband when he was alive was never established.
