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!

If you can’t afford a funeral maybe you should consider moving to Honduras where the government have decided to pay for funerals for their poorer inhabitants.
’ve recently read that Honduras has the highest murder rate in the world per capita. Most of the victims are at the low end of the food chain and so it’s hard for them to give their loved ones a good send off when they finally shuffle off this mortal coil.

Forgive me for this extremely short and hastily written article but this is an emergency “mission of mercy”. Many of us here in the UK are concerned about government plans to set in motion a badger cull due to a major epidemic of bovine tuberculosis which is supposedly spread from the migration of badgers.
