    I was on the Clan Menzies in 65-67. Chief Cook stabbed or cleavered the second cook to death. We carried the body in the food handling space in front of the meat room and fish room and veg room.

    One ship-board murder that I heard of when at sea was when I was told told by an old Irish AB that when he was sailing through the Suez Canal (in the 1950s or early 60s?) a fellow rating, lying in wait for an Arab thief to furtively enter his cabin, killed him with one blow from a baseball bat before dumping his body at night over the side. The other murder I have indirect experience of was when I was a DHU on the Penelope Everard in the early summer of 1969. I was ordered to carry a holdall of the possessions of a murdered seaman (I am not sure if he was an ex-crewman of the Peneope Everard) to the office of the h.arbour master in Cork.
