Buck was well-liked among his patients, but behind closed doors he had a very different side 👀
In the 1930s, a decade before the NHS was formed, a charming and altruistic doctor made his home in Lancashire.
Dr Ruxton's first port of call was Edinburgh, where he in 1927 he began his studies towards a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons. Despite failing his entry exams, he was granted authority to practice medicine by the General Medical Council, based on the qualifications he gained in India. Isabella gave birth to the couple's first daughter Elizabeth while they were living in London, shortly followed by their second daughter Diane, who was born in Lancaster in 1931. Following the birth of their third child William, in 1933, they employed a young maid, Mary Jane Rogerson, to keep house and care for the children. On the face of things, the successful young couple had it all.
At Lancaster Police Station, Buck would talk erratically before bursting into tears. Such was the strain on Isabella that in 1932 she attempted suicide by gas asphyxiation, resulting in her suffering a miscarriage. A grim discovery On the morning of 29 September 1935 a young woman named Susan Haines Johnson was out walking in Dumfriesshire, two miles north of the town of Moffat, when she glanced over the parapet of an old stone bridge. On the banks of the stream she saw a bundle wrapped in fabric, lodged against a boulder, with a partially decomposed human arm protruding from the package.
Missing persons reports showed that five days before the bodies were discovered, Buck told Lancaster police his wife had once again deserted him. The same day he visited the family of the maid, Mary Jane Rogerson, to tell them their daughter had fallen pregnant to a local boy with whom she had been having a secret love affair. He said his wife had taken her away for an illegal abortion, and urged them not to tell the police.
