Back in 2009 I published a true Victorian tale surrounding the murder of a 4 year old boy in Wiltshire. The local police weren’t able to solve the crime so the magistrates called for the assistance of Scotland Yard and to that end Jonathan Whicher took on the case although it ultimately resulted in his loss of credibility. I have now republished this, as a new TV drama is about to hit our screens on ITV here in the UK surrounding another Whicher tale and I thought some of my readers might be interested!

Over a two year period in the Swinging Sixties it seemed a serial killer was on the loose in London. At least six women and possibly eight were callously murdered seemingly by the same killer and, to this day, nobody has been arrested for the crime.

It has been months since Hosni Mubarak been out of power. On Tuesday three of his former ministers face charges in court. They were acquitted of graft though but the three former ministers are not scotch free though. The three men still face other charges or were sentenced to jail time in separate cases.
