The murder of Emily Beilby Kaye in 1924 was a crime of shocking brutality. Her body, having been dismembered, was found scattered, and her killer’s capture and subsequent trial unraveled under the glare of public scrutiny. Despite its notoriety at the time and its role in shaping modern forensic investigation, this case has been largely overlooked in dedicated true crime accounts.
This book investigates the infamous ‘Second Crumbles Murder’ with fresh eyes, drawing on archival material, trial transcripts, memoirs of investigators, and contemporary press reports. It explores the intense human drama, involving an apparently charming male protagonist, along with the gruesome details that captivated the nation, and the forensic breakthroughs – including the introduction of the ‘Murder Bag’ – that left a lasting legacy.
For true crime enthusiasts and history buffs alike, this is the definitive account of a crime that shocked 1920s Britain and continues to fascinate today.
