Description

When a sword-wielding young man, dressed up like the Star Wars character Darth Vader, visited the Kronan School in Sweden, pupils posed for photographs with him, not knowing that this was a killer in the midst of a murderous rampage. What had gone on before and what was still to happen remains deeply shocking.

The case of Belle Gunness is often mentioned but rarely told in as much detail as in this month’s not-to-be-missed MD Forum report, How Many Victims For The Black Widow?

Our series on Scotland’s Classic Cases continues with a murder story that made legal history.
