IhartU Posted August 28, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2006 On September 21, a box covered in light paper was sent by rail from Manchester to Carlisle, addressed to 'Mr. Newson, County Hall, Carlisle, To Be Left Till Called for'. On December 10, as it was still uncollected, the stationmaster at Carlisle sent it down to the Lost Property Office in Euston. There it was opened, and proved to contain the decomposed bodies of two children, wrapped in a copy of the 'Manchester Guardian'. Dr. Josheph Hill, surgeon at the St. Pancras Workhouse, carried out autopsy examinations, and reported that the children appeared to be twins, a boy and a girl, approximately nine months old at the time of their death. Their faces and heads are horribly mutilated, probably with a hatchet. But their deaths were caused by violent suffocation. They may have also been given chloroform or some other volatlie poison. This dreadful overkill of two innocent babes cannot, it seems, be brought home to any person. The railway's latest contribution to crime as a dumping ground for murder victims, seems even more horrible than their exploitation by violent robbers. source: The Chronicle of Crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nile_Shaman Posted February 15, 2008 #13 Share Posted February 15, 2008 source: The Chronicle of Crime This is a book, published in Feb 2000, written by Martin Fido The Chronicle of Crime provides an authoritative and compelling account of the history of the world's most infamous murderers and villains, from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the nineties. http://www.amazon.com/Chronicle-Crime-infa...s/dp/1858688531 This *sounds like* it was more likely written in the late 1800's - this particular crime mentioned. JMO for those wondering why it isn't in the news anywhere today, NS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
