This is a picture of her in life https://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/3820338360/in/set-72157621757273407/ Her killer was one Edward Richard Palmer, aged 24. He was 'convicted at Wiltshire Assizes before Mr Justice Wills of the murder of Esther Swinford at Swindon. Miss Swinford was employed as a barmaid and had been engaged to Palmer. She had broken off their intended union when she discovered that he had made no plans to secure their financial future. Palmer left town but later returned with a gun and shot her through the heart when she refused to reconsider their engagement. He was immediately arrested and told officers: 'I did it. I loved her.' Hanged by William and John Billington on the 17th November 1903 in Devizes.'
