<p>[QUOTE="Madeline, post: 692392, member: 11106"]I know that this was a while ago, but I only just came across this post, while searching for further information about Paul Beecham. He was indeed a very good painter, & made a lot of copies of old works while inside Broadmoor, while in prison for the murder of his parents & grandparents. Or so it says in the book 'Talking with Psychopaths', by Christopher Berry-See. Christopher (a highly respected Criminologist) interviewed Beecham & it seems had many further conversations with him as they shared an interest in oil painting. So if you still have it, it's highly possible he did paint this as apparently his work was exceptional. Unfortunately after his release he slowly lost his mind again, became paranoid & delusional, & 12 years after his release ended up hitting his wife (who he'd met while in prison, & who had campaigned for his release) on the head with a spade, burying her under the patio, then shooting himself in the head while in bed a few days later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
