    Thanks GUT.

    Although death by strychnine sounds like an absolutely horrible way to go, the poison was used by one James Maybrick in non-fatal doses for 'recreational' purposes, along with many other noxious substances.

        It has taken more than a year to identify the man in a case which has attracted global interest.

            Oh, what a surprise. I really didn't hold out much hope that this gentleman would ever be identified.

            Great work from the Police, on this one.

                That is interesting. At least his family knows now.

                    There's a documentary on this case coming up on UK tv this week.

                    Channel 4 Wed 15th March 10pm

                    Possibly timed to coincide with the inquest mentioned in Robert's link on Tue 14th March.
