Grisly exhibits linked to some of Britain’s most notorious criminals are set to go on display for the first time – after years hidden away in Scotland Yard’s “Black Museum”.
The museum – which is not currently open to the public – contains items relating to some of the UK’s most infamous crimes including the so-called “From Hell” letter purportedly written by Jack the Ripper, the pans that serial killer Dennis Nilsen used to boil his victims’ flesh. It also houses the noose that hanged Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be executed in the UK.
