Drunken ruffians fight the police, a doctor prescribes poisen, a jealous husband hides the pieces of his dis-membered wife.

This collection of murder cases covers the bizarre, the pitiful and the plain nasty, and they come from Worcester, the Black Country, leafy Warwickshire and rural Staffordshire. Some lead to hanging, some to a suspect freed, but several were never solved.
