Trial of Neill Cream (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781026053324)

"Trial of Neill Cream" provides a comprehensive and chilling account of the legal proceedings against one of the most notorious serial killers of the late Victorian era. Thomas Neill Cream, famously known as the Lambeth Poisoner, was a physician who used his medical knowledge to commit a series of cold-blooded murders across multiple countries. This volume focuses on his final capture and the dramatic 1892 trial at the Old Bailey in London.

The work documents the intricate web of evidence that ultimately led to Cream's conviction, highlighting the early use of forensic toxicology and the testimonies of those who encountered the elusive killer. Readers are presented with a detailed view of the judicial process, including the arguments of counsel and the examination of witnesses, offering a window into the darker side of 19th-century society.

As a significant record of criminal history, "Trial of Neill Cream" serves as an essential resource for those interested in the evolution of forensic science and the history of British law. It captures the atmosphere of a city gripped by fear and the methodical efforts of the justice system to bring a calculating predator to account.
