Diabolical Deed

In this episode, called “Diabolical Deed”, 4-month-old William John Davies was removed from his cradle in his home in St. Ives, Cornwall. He was then bathed and his head decapitated from his body, it being discovered by a child alight in the fire. His killer was thought to be a neighbour, 13-year-old Thomas Paynter Polmeor.
