He was Duke Donovan, a US serviceman who had been based in Somerset in World War II. He and another GI had helped with the apple harvest at the farm where nine-year-old Theo was an evacuee. A sequence of disturbing events took place there, culminating in murder. The discovery of a human skull in a cider barrel led ultimately to Duke's arrest and conviction.
