Camden curler killer

 On September 12 of  September 1907, Bert Shaw discovered his fiance, Emily Dimmock, dead at their lodgings at 29 St Pauls Road, Camden. Her throat cut so deeply she was nearly decapitated. Robert Wood was tried and acquitted of her murder.

On the 14 of July 1910 the police discovered a portion of a human flesh underneath a flagstone in the cellar of the vacant house at number 39 Hill drop crescent, Camden. It was claimed the torso was a part of Dr Crippen's missing wife Cora. Dr Crippen was tried and hanged for her murder.

Serious doubts are cast on the circumstantial evidence used to convict Crippen.

Emily and Cora lived just a ten minute walk from each other. They were attractive women who took care of their appearance. Both women wore Hinde's patent curlers in their hair at the time of their death! The Camden curler killer.
