12: The Haw Bridge Mystery Part 1

On February 3rd 1938, three fisherman would come across a body floating the River Severn at a crossing called Haw Bridge. The puzzling thing about it was the body had no head or arms and legs. The torso caused a sensation in the town of Tewkesbury and a huge investigation began which included Scotland Yard and well known pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury. The investigation would uncover a suicide and a missing captain but were they all connected? Who did the unidentified torso belong to? The mystery has baffled many over the years and in this part 1 episode we delve into how the police connected these cases together and why they are still being brought up in the news today.
