All of Hutchinson's killings and the rape were carried out during one combined attack on a family who had only the day previously celebrated the marriage of one of their daughters:-
In 1983, 28-year-old Robert Laitner was stabbed to death by Hutchinson in his bedroom in the South Sheffield suburb of Dore. His father solicitor Basil Laitner went upstairs to investigate the noise and was also stabbed to death. Basil’s wife, Avril was downstairs and was stabbed twenty-six times. Returning upstairs the assailant then attacked the youngest of the Laitners’ daughters, Nicola. She was repeatedly raped. The previous afternoon the family had enjoyed the wedding reception of the other Laitner daughter, Suzanne.
Hutchinson was caught, found guilty and later sentenced to life imprisonment.
Arthur Hoyt Valentine was born in Elliott, Illinois, on June 4, 1891, the son of Robert and Betty (Mathis) Valentine.
Arthur had been operating his lunchrooms in buildings he'd purchased or leased from others, while at the same time Ablah Hotel Supply Company of Wichita was making prefabricated lunchroom buildings.
Arthur appears to have been experimenting with different types of buildings for his lunchrooms, because in 1933 he also bought a "porcelain" lunchroom that the Martin Perry Company of New York made for Wichita's Metal Building Company (which had closed by the end of 1935).
