About the event
This walk will explore many chilling stories straight from the memoirs of the detectives themselves, through the places directly associated with these crimes. We will also discuss why certain murders received more attention in the contemporary press than others as an extension of the deeply entrenched patriarchy of the time. The walk will also interrogate contemporary socio-cultural racial and gender dynamics to situate the victims, perpetrators and the police.
Please carry hand torches (not phone torches) in this tour.
This is a night walk. Please make sure you can return home by 11:00pm before the curfew kicks in.
The walk will be conducted in English.
Walk Leader: Dr Tathagata Neogi
