Marc,
I contacted the link and got this reply:
"I do not have any presscuttings on this case but I have found an article in a reputable crime book . Louis Van De Kerkhove murdered Clemence Verelst in Room 10, Shaftesbury Hotel, Station Street, Birmingham.The Trial took place on 18 March 1918. The article gives all the basic details of the case and from this you would be able to go to the local Birmingham papers for further information.
If you want a copy of the article let me know. Say £5 would cover my time, postage and copying?
Over to you.
Regards
Paul
You could try the main Library for these dated details.
