The curious case of William Bull.

[Mike Covell]

I have read numerous reports on William Bull, the self confessed Medical Student, who confessed to having committed the Mitre-square murder, and who was brought before the Guildhall Police-courts.

Although it is quite obvious from Inspector Izzards inquiries that Bull could have not committed the murder, his case interests me, as he put himself forward as a suspect!

For news reports on William Bull,

Other than the news reports, what is known of this gentleman?

Thanks Mike. An extremely interersting character.

All the best

He is indeed Glenn. I guess I am interested in why him, or anyone, would put themselves forward as a suspect. I was having a rare ripper discussion with the wife last night, and she proposed that he could have done it to be famous, but why risk imprisonment, hard labour or worse!
