Description

Parallels dominate this quarter’s issue. When Robert Bamford aided and abetted in the murder of John Timms by throwing him to his death from Trent Bridge, he was haunted – haunted by nightmares and the ghost of his victim that followed him everywhere he went. Finally, when the torment became too great, Bamford felt the need to unburden his mind.

Likewise, in the ‘Murder On Hounslow Heath’, the conscience of Benjamin Hanfield – who was lying in a fevered state in a prison hulk in Portsmouth awaiting "a new life" in Van Diemen’s Land – also felt the need to free his mind before he died, although the fates of both men could not be more different.

Why would anyone want to kill dogs with a lump of poisoned meat? Someone did just that to the animal owned by Mrs. Berta in the village of Alag near Budapest, Hungary, in 1934.
Similarly, the two dogs owned by an odd-job man in Victoria State, Australia, five years later and half a world away were poisoned. In this famous case the animals died from eating coarse-grained strychnine usually only found in Madras, India…
