The Murder of Lorenz Beha

Here’s another film from the Little Bit of History series and it’s a little gory!  Lorenz was a watchmaker and was born in South West Germany but why did he come to Norwich?  So why was he travelling to Tittleshall and why was he murdered?  And why did the murderer leave a jewellery box and a pocket watch belonging to the dead man?  William Webster saw a man duck down as he passed - could this be the murderer?  Was the murderer found and what was the sentence?  To find out more, please select the following link and press play, you may need to move the red bar back to the start, and you can always give the film a thumbs up:
