Description

A body in a freezer, a body in the boot of a car…two cases in this month’s MD (“Her Body’s In The Freezer,” and “Who Put Gill’s Body In The Boot Of Her BMW?”, one from Croatia, the other from South Africa, illustrate the desperate desire of two killers to hide the truth about their heinous crimes. Nearly two decades would pass by before the tragic truth about Jasmina Dominic, from Zagreb, emerged from the chilly depths. As for the killer of Gill Packham, his intention was to throw police off the scent by staging the effects of a hijacking gone horribly wrong.

Elsewhere, don’t miss the absorbing Northern Ireland case of George Bratty, “I Don’t Remember Killing Josephine”, and the latest instalment in our series on The Hangings Of Albert Pierrepoint – Nottingham’s Case Of The Homicidal Nurse.
