Robert Allen Coombes (1882–1949) represents a very rare example of a child murdering his mother. The murder went undetected for ten days and became a sensation when discovered in the hot summer of 1895 in the East End of London. The event became known as the Plaistow Horror. Contemporary descriptions suggest Robert seems to have had no moral compass, and was involved in many financial tricks, before turning to murder. He escaped the hangman's noose due to his age.
