208. Murder at DuPont Plaza Hotel | Krishna Maharaj

In June 1974, at Royal Ascot, a horse called King Levanstell completed the race ahead of the Queen's own runner. Standing in the winner's enclosure was a thirty-five-year-old Hindu man from a village in southern Trinidad, who had arrived in London fourteen years earlier with nothing and drove a lorry for a living. By then he owned a hundred racehorses and had gone through twenty-four Rolls-Royces. Twelve years later, he was eating dinner at a Denny's near Miami airport when a detective slid into the booth beside him, pressed a gun into his side, and told him to get up and act like a gentleman. Because he was now being charged with double murder. This is the story of that one man, his life and the one afternoon that changed it all. This is the story of Krishna Maharaj.
