- The murder of Mona Tinsley is a British child murder case from 1937. On 5 January 1937, 10-year-old Mona Lilian Tinsley disappeared after leaving her Newark-on-Trent school. A former lodger of Mona's parents, Frederick Nodder, became the prime suspect in her abduction. However, despite the fact both strong physical and circumstantial evidence existed attesting to his guilt, because no body could be found, Nodder could not be tried for her murder, but was instead convicted of Mona's abduction and sentenced to seven years in gaol. On 6 June, Mona's strangled body was recovered from the River Idle, and Nodder was subsequently charged with her murder. He was found guilty of Mona's murder and hanged at Lincoln Prison on 30 December 1937. The murder of Mona Tinsley was a prime case study cited in English law as leading to the abolition of the no body, no murder principle. This principle was abolished in 1954. As such, a murder conviction can now be obtained based on circumstantial evidence, should this evidence be sufficiently compelling and convincing. (en)

- "As I took it [Mona's silk dress] from its wrappings and held the soft material in my hands, I knew at once that Mona was dead ... Mona spoke to me, saying she had been taken to a small house where she had been strangled. She gave me a picture of a house, with a water-filled ditch on one side, a field at its back, a church close by, and an inn within sight. In my vision ... I was taken to a graveyard, over a bridge, and across some fields to a river beyond. There I stopped, unable to go further." (en)
