4)  The Trunk Murders
Trunks left in railway left baggage departments eventually revealed their grisly secrets. Only when the police re-examined vital evidence did the murderers get caught. A breakthrough for early forensic science.
As the Charing Cross railway station in London began operating on the morning of 10 May 1927, station staff noticed an unpleasant smell coming from an unclaimed trunk. Prising it open, they were presented with the horrifying sight of five severed body parts from a woman's body. The person responsible had eliminated most evidence that could be used to identify her. But he had not removed everything, and was eventually caught.
In 1934, police were conducting a house to house search in Brighton. At number 52 Kemp Street, they discovered a trunk containing a body in an advanced stage of decomposition. The body was soon identified as 42-year-old prostitute, Violette Kaye. The resident of the house, Tony Mancini had long since disappeared. When the police later picked up Mancini, he told them that he had discovered his girlfriend Violette dead on her bed, apparently killed by one of her clients. He panicked and hid the body in the trunk. But the police didn't believe his story, when they discovered the charred remains of a hammer in his basement. Mancini was charged with murder on 17th July. At the trial five months later, the jury returned with a verdict of not guilty. 42 years later, Mancini finally confessed to a British newspaper that he had indeed murdered Violette.
