2w ago00:30:03Tap to summarizeIt was a small village in Hertfordshire, where very little ever disturbed the peace - certainly not the kind of brutal violence that unfolded when retired Army Colonel Robert Workman was shot dead on his own doorstep.Robert was an old-fashioned military man: well spoken, private, proud, and known for his calm and easy-going nature.
