Southampton Murder Victims, v. 2 (Paperback)

Much anticipated sequel to 2010's "Southampton Murder Victims". Each case is arranged in chronological order, allowing the reader to dip into the period of their choice. It contains over 200 pictures, some of them official police photographs. This book is a sequel to "Southampton Murder Victims", produced in 2010 by DB Publishing and the present book is a joint publication with DB Publishing and the Hampshire Constabulary History Society. The former book explained, in some depth, the various amendments to the original mandatory death penalty for murder; the stages of penal servitude that were imposed, until abolished in 1948; an explanation of the former Assize Court system, and the establishment of the Crown Courts that replaced them in 1972. "Southampton Murder Victims Vol II" is the result of painstaking research by the author, who had unrivalled access to police and other archive files normally unavailable to the general public. It has resulted in fascinating accounts of over sixty murders committed in Southampton between 1873 and 2012. The accounts are arranged in strict chronological order, allowing the reader to dip into the period of their choice, the earlier cases arousing nostalgia for parts of the city that have long since vanished. The book contains many illustrations, some of them official police photos showing the scene of the crime and published for the first time, making "Southampton Murder Victims Vol II" a must-read for the bloodthirsty, the historians and the just plain curious.
