I’ve been on my fair share of nightmare holidays. Sank on the Nile, cars blown up, marooned in a live mine-field… that sort of thing but even I haven’t had quite as rough a time as Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov, Russia’s answer to Michael Palin or Levison Wood.

The mysterious case of Lord Lucan
It was one of the most mysterious disappearances in the modern era when Lord Richard John Bingham, Seventh Earl of Lucan seemingly vanished without trace.

Travelling by land was a slow and arduous thing to do at the best of times. After the Romans, the roads largely… Continue reading Dick Turpin Highwayman – Stand and Deliver
Jack The Ripper Breakthrough: Identified as Aaron Kosminski

Jack being the legendary serial killer in Victorian London for whom police identified over 100 suspects. However, several British newspapers have printed a story that his identity has finally been proven, again. This time… Continue reading Jack The Ripper Breakthrough: Identified as Aaron Kosminski
