The Nanavati Case, 1959

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KM_Nanavati_v_State_of_Maharashtra

This was the most sensastional case of my childhood in India. 1959. The English-language tabloid "Blitz" took a stand on the case and sent circulation through the ceiling. EVERYONE talked about it. Years later, Salman Rushdie fictionalized the case in an episode in "Midnight's Children."
