On Friday, April 28, 1732, between 7 and 8 p.m. Thomas Turbeville was murdered in his Carpenter Shop in the County of Gloucester, England. He had been beaten to death upon the face with a broad Axe. At the time he was a widower and living alone he was not found till the next day. The Axe was found lying by his body.
A Weaver of the same town was last seen with Thomas. He had followed Thomas to his home and Thomas wasn't seen afterward. The Weaver was committed to Gloucester Castel and was later executed. His name was not mentioned in the article.
I could only find one article on this case.
