Richard Lancelyn Green from  England knew everything about author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, in particular his famous novels - Sherlock Holmes.

On the 27th of April 2004, the scholar was found dead on his bed, strangled by a shoelace. Many of his friends and family suspected foul play, as Richard had been trying to stop a book auction at Christies.

Investigators disagreed; the death was awfully similar to a Sherlock Holmes mystery, perhaps he wanted his death to as well? Or maybe… thats just what the killer wants us to think...
