Infidelity and violence in 1935... 80 years later, and things aren't so different

I thought that members here may be interested by this article I'd come across, about a prominent architect, his affair with a singer, his terrible treatment of his first wife, all culminating in his own murder at the hand of his 2nd wife's teenaged lover:

Quote:

One of the most famous architects in British Columbia history, found in the sitting room of his England home with his head bashed in. Who is to blame? His wife, a scandalous woman, later painted as a sexual predator? Her 18-year-old lover, passionate but ultimately clueless? It is a murder that has had people whispering and speculating for decades. What really happened to Francis Rattenbury that day in 1935? Only his ghost knows for certain.

Certainly, most cases of infidelity don't end in violence, but much of the rest of the article shows one thing we know for sure: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
