Robert Willet

Robert Willet was found dead in a box.

His body was found doubled up in a box in a one room house at Lapes Court, Neath, Glamorgan. His body was in an advanced state of decomposition and was thought to have been there for about a month.

The body was found by a neighbour who thought she heard mice in the box and opened the lid to see.

The box had a close-fitting lid and it was thought that Robert Willet had probably suffocated.

He was a pedlar.
