Edgar Lewis George Bindon had been courting his 21 year old neighbour, Maud Mulholland of Theobald Street, when Maud decided to breakoff their relationship. She was now seeing a new suitor by the name of Bernard Campion, and poor Edgar had been jilted.
Not to be outdone by this act, Edgar took a revolver and shot Maud as she walked home alone one evening on Cowbridge Road. His comment at the time was "Its alright I have had my revenge and will die with a good heart". Not surprisingly Edgar was found guilty with such a statement and was hanged at Cardiff prison in March 1914.
