George Gustav Mares was found shot in a shed on a plot of land in Cranham near Brentwood.
He was the son of a wholesale druggist and had lived in Redbridge Lane in Wanstead and on the Sunday morning at about 10am he had left home to go to the family plot of land in Cranham. He was later found there dead the following day shortly after midnight when his family became anxious when he didn't return and took a taxi to Cranham Park Estate where their plot was.
