Here's another collection of short but gruesome vintage true crime cases from the 1800s. Let’s go back in time for a whistle-stop tour of three Victorian crimes that are intriguing, shocking, and little known, including a spate of unidentified body parts which appeared all over Norwich, a sinister servant who bludgeoned his employer with a rolling pin, and the first murder case ever to be solved by a bloodhound.
