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. Seven years later, in the seaside holiday town of Brighton, the railway station staff would also be presented with another trunk of body parts. The investigation of this trunk murder would eventually lead to a third trunk murder, also in Brighton.
Please note that this programme was made in 1995. The first Brighton trunk murder remains unsolved as of 2020.
