English biochemist Jack Drummond, his wife Anne and ten-year-old daughter Elizabeth were murdered when the family were travelling in France in a Hillman Minx brake. Drummond parked by the side of the road near Lurs (04) on 5 August 1952, the family camped, and the three were murdered. What has been called the Dominici affair because of Gaston Dominici's conviction is widely open to dispute, and the real facts behind the crime will most likely never be solved. The presence of Jean Giono hovers aroud here as in most parts of Provence, he attended the court case, and wrote a short book on his findings.
