I invited The Great Mouse Detective over to help me delve into “A History of the London Police’s Most Infamous Murder Cases” in SCOTLAND YARD by @AuthorSimonRead 🇬🇧🕵🏻♂️

Constables discover the shot, beaten corpse of Patrick O'Connor buried beneath the kitchen floor of No. 3, Miniver Place, Bermondsey, on Aug. 17, 1849. "The Bermondsey Horror" is the first major investigation for Scotland Yard's Detective Branch.

In May 1924, at a gruesome crime scene, Scotland Yard detectives had to scoop raw flesh up with their bare hands. It led to the modern CSI kit—the so-called “Murder Bag”— to assist detectives in the field.
