Collection of high-profile crime artifacts on display
Print Edition
ARTEFACTS from many of London’s most notorious and grisly crimes, including the “Jack the Ripper” case, are to go on public display for the first time this year.
Usually housed in a dark corner of the London police force’s headquarters, the little-seen objects are from Scotland Yard’s Crime Museum.
They range from the death masks of executed prisoners and an unexploded bomb planted by Irish nationalists at Paddington train station in 1884 to champagne and wine bottles recovered from the hideout of the gang behind the 1963 Great Train Robbery.
“What we do not want is something that’s a kind of macabre police version of going to the London Dungeon. That is not what this is about,” London police Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt said.
“Every one of these cases involves real people and real people’s lives.”
