Episode 44: The Scottish Gentlemen Killer
Episode description
Archibald Thomas Hall, also known as Roy Fontaine, was a Scottish career criminal who minored in petty thief at a young age but by the time he had reached his early 50’s in 1977 had begun majoring in killing using a variety of blunt objects. Over the course of a year, Archibald would claim the lives of five victims including his own brother. He would eventually become known as the Killer Butler or the Monster Butler after committing murders while working in service as a butler to members of the British aristocracy. In January of 1978, at the age of 53 Archibald was arrested and convicted of first-degree murder, receiving a life sentence and in 2002 at the age of 78 would die from a stroke in prison. So, what caused this sinister mind to go from petty thief to murder?
