 Stone masons, on the ads for British Columbia, the buildings he designed are often on travel literature, very much in the media, another bizarre love triangle..

You're likely thinking of the sensational 1935 Rattenbury murder trial in Victoria, British Columbia, involving architect Francis Rattenbury, his much younger wife Alma Rattenbury, and her lover/chauffeur George Stoner, who murdered Francis in their home, not the Parliament Buildings, but Rattenbury designed those buildings, making the case deeply tied to the city's elite, with Alma acquitted and Stoner convicted before Alma's suicide. 
Key Details:
  • Victim: Francis Rattenbury, renowned architect of the BC Parliament Buildings and Empress Hotel.
  • Accused: His wife, Alma Rattenbury, and their teenage chauffeur, George Stoner.
  • Crime: Francis was bludgeoned with a mallet in 1935.
  • Outcome: Stoner was found guilty and executed; Alma was acquitted but later died by suicide.
  • Connection: The case shocked B.C. due to the scandalous affair, the victim's prominence, and the location in Victoria, home to the Parliament Buildings

In addition, the Soviet Navy takes steps to protect its  ballistic missile submarine  fleet in coastal waters behind minefields and ASW assets, freeing up its attack submarines to engage and destroy NATO shipping. Thus, the Soviet Navy is able to act as an offensive weapon contrary to pre-war NATO expectations, becoming a major strategic threat against  resupply convoys coming from North America  with both aircraft and submarines. This advantage is put to immediate use as a NATO carrier battle ...
