| - Mary Pickering Tuplin (May 5, 1870 — June 28, 1887), was murdered in Margate, Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1887, her body found at the bottom of the Southwest River weighted by a heavy stone. Tuplin, who was 17, died of two shots to the head from a .32 caliber revolver. A medical examination also determined the girl was six months pregnant. Tuplin's alleged lover, 19-year-old William Millman, was charged with the killing and was convicted, largely on circumstantial evidence. Though he professed innocence, Millman was hanged following a sensational trial held in Charlottetown early the next year. The Murder of Mary Tuplin (Roud #12463) is one of several ballads written about the crime, which at the time shocked the entire country. In 2016, Tuplin's skull was reunited with the rest of her remains in a burial arranged by descendants. The skull had been separated from the girl's body during the post-mortem examination and was stored for well over a century in what had once served as the coroner's office in Charlottetown. (en)
