24: The Brighton Trunk Mystery

On the 17th June 1934 workers at Brighton Railway station were going about their usual duties. William Joseph Vinnicombe, in the process of his shift, noticed a terrible smell at the station. He did a quick search of the area of the station and discovered that the smell appeared to be emanating from the left luggage room. It seemed to be permeating throughout the station and Vinnicombe noticed there was a plywood trunk that had been left in the room. The trunk got his attention and the location of the trunk itself seemed to match up with the awful smell. Vinnicombe attempted to open the trunk to see what the foul smell was however he was unable to as it was locked. When the trunk was opened they would make a gruesome discovery. The dismembered torso of an unidentified woman. This discovery would lead to the discovery of a second trunk and ultimately a controversial trial that would cause uproar in the community.
