A special report from crime and justice correspondent Mr Edgar Ellis.

Confidential sources have revealed exclusively to this reporter the details of the unconscionable deed perpetrated only miles south of London in this last week.

According to these sources, police believe two or more brigands broke into the Surry home of Major the Right Hon. Lord Churchill and following a violent struggle, succeeded in absconding with his Lordship ‘s person to parts unknown.

In the prosecution of their execrable deed, the brigands ruthlessly took the life of his Lordship’s loyal manservant who it is thought died selflessly defending his master.

The motivation for the callous and vandalic action has not yet been established; police reportedly have not received and demands or other communications from the assailants.

Police have confirmed this morning that they believe three bodies discovered in the last twenty four hours to be further victims of the Belgravia Butcher.

Following the discovery of the headless remains of the first victim on the 6th of this month, police admitted to having no leads as to the identity of the deceased or the assailant.

However with the discovery of two intact bodies and a severed head, police have now been able to identify three of the four individuals.

Shockingly, two of the slain have been confirmed as high-ranking British Museum scholars: Keeper of Books, Sir Richard Rivington Holmes and his subordinate, Alister Tinsdale.

The third victim identified as been revealed as Lee Quan, a Chinese resident of Limehouse while all that is known of the last is that she was a fallen woman working in the area close to the Museum.

Police are still at a loss to explain the relationship of the disparate casualties.
