  • Scotland Yard opens its 'Black Museum' to the public

    The exhibition at the Met Police's Crime Museum in London will include details of a gruesome murder which transformed the gathering of forensics with the help of pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury.

    Now all I need to do is work out how to get there.

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

      From a Guardian article on the exhibit: All 600 objects chosen for the exhibition have been vetted by an ethics committee including representatives of the police, victims of crime, and the London mayor’s policing and crime office. Their verdict ruled out a gruesome reminder of an infamous serial killer, the cooking stove on which Dennis Nilsen boiled down parts of the bodies of young men he murdered in the 1970s and 80s.

      This disappoints me greatly. Not that I can possibly find a way across that large body of salt water that lies between it and myself.
      I’m often irrelevant. It confuses people.

            Great news. No Bill Waddell there anymore but if nearly everything is on show it will be a veritable Aladdin's cave.
