OAKES, HAROLD murder: Great Crimes & Trials TV - William Boyd -
The British colony of Bahamas was very much a backwater ... 8th July 1943 its peace was to be shattered. At this palatial house the body of Sir Harry Oakes, the colony’s richest citizen, was found by his friend Harold Christie who had been staying the night ... He found Sir Harry’s half-burned body lying on the bed with a bloody wound on his head. Great Crimes & Trials s3e7: Sir Harry Oakes, BBC 1996
The Duke and Duchess [of Windsor] despised most of the people they were forced to mix with. ibid.
De Marigny [son-in-law] was astonished to be arrested and charged with the murder. ibid.
Not guilty by a nine to three majority. ibid.
Sir Harry Oakes was a multimillionaire, the richest man in the Bahamas. He had made his fortune with gold mines he’d discovered in Canada and was seeking to protect it by living in a tax haven. He was something of a local philanthropist but his main concern was always his money and how he could keep it intact and untaxed. On the morning of 8 July 1943 his body was discovered in his bed. Sir Harry had died from blows to the head made with some sort of spiked club. Then his body was covered in petrol, the down from a pillow tipped over it and the bed was set on fire. But, even though the body was badly scorched, the fire didn’t take. All the evidence was there. The local CID made an urgent call reporting the murder to the governor of the Bahamas – who just happened to be the former king of England, Edward VIII, now His Royal Highness the Duke of Windsor ...
And so I did, years later, in my novel Any Human Heart (2002). Among the many things the novel contains is a full account of the murder of Harry Oakes, the identification of his murderer and the crucial role played in the case by the Duke of Windsor and how he did his utmost to pervert the course of justice and condemn an innocent man to death. It’s a measure of the enduring infamy and controversy of the case that it was still capable of ruffling feathers four decades later. William Boyd, article The Guardian 13th November 2010
