New questions in 1887 murder of pregnant P.E.I. girl: ‘They hung the wrong boy’
MARGATE, P.E.I. — She was 17, single and pregnant, an uneasy combination in 1880s Prince Edward Island.
Now, more than a century after Mary Tuplin was murdered, a ceremony has been held to reunite her head with her body, amid new questions about whether William Millman, who was convicted of the murder, actually killed her.
“They hung the wrong boy,” said Bobby Williams, a Tuplin relative who lives in Alberta.
“I think I know who did it. I can’t prove it, but I’m looking harder into it.”
