    Interesting, but likely impossible to corroborate.

    I always thought that the Miller's Court key had resurfaced and was found shortly after the murder.

    I am sure I read that somewhere, but I may be wrong.

    Does that key in the photo have any engravings or inscriptions?

      The key of the murdered woman's door has been found, so that her murderer did not carry it away with him, as was at first supposed.

        Presumably, as the door had been forced, the rediscovered key wouldn't have been much use anyway. Maybe the man who found it was allowed to keep it, which makes it at least posssible that it has survived as a souvenir. It would be hard to prove that this key is one and the same, however.
        Kind regards, Sam Flynn

            Hi there
            No markings or engraving on the key!! I did ask him for additional information and history but no reply as of yet!! To be fair it’s quite a wild statement regarding the key

                        Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

                              I dont see a reason why the key couldnt have been for the door, but it also could have been for a padlock on the dustbin itself. Or maybe the tap could be shuttered and locked.
