Following Minnie Dean's arrest in May 1895, police undertook a search of her garden at
The Larches, near Winton. They unearthed the recently buried bodies of two babies
and the skeleton of an older boy (whom she later claimed had drowned).

These newspaper reports cover the arrest and sensational murder trial of Minnie Dean in 1895.
By the time of the second report, on 21 June, all of the charges against Minnie's husband,
Charles Dean, had been dismissed.

Dean leaves the Milton courthouse in 1895 during the inquest into the deaths
of one-year-old Dorothy Edith Carter and one-month-old Eva Hornsby.
