Errores
In 1945, the widow Olive Durand-Deacon describes her husband as having served in "The Glorious Glosters". Although a common nickname for the Gloucestershire Regiment, it derives from their heroism at the battle of the Imjin River during the Korean War - in 1951.

Citas
[for the third time, Haigh is in prison for fraud]
John George Haigh: Do you realise, without a body, there can be no conviction for murder?
Morrison: Blimey. Gerra way.
John George Haigh: It's true. The law is called "corpus delicti".
Morrison: So who are you gonna murder, then?
John George Haigh: Well, if you get 21 months for doing very little, might as well do something big.

A is for acid, memories of meeting Det Sgt Heslin

I have just seen a repeat of this TV film and was very impressed. I had the opportunity of doing some gardening work for the Sgt Inspector Heslin (Ret'd) before he died, when he lived in Torbay. As one of the detectives who interviews Haigh and discovered his gun, he showed me photographs which very much resembled the film set of Haigh's workhouse.

I also specialized someone in the RAF when, as a medic, I saw just what Sulphuric acid can do. Now I am a prolific author and wish I had taken more notes about this case. Heslin and I enjoyed good conversation and he was very proud to have been one of the main detectives to interview Haigh.
