==============================================================================================================
A poem about a true-life murder, the murder of Charlotte Dymond.
Much research has been carried out regarding this murder case and at least two books have been written into the murder trial and its conclusion.

The Shire Hall in Bodmin, Cornwall, UK has a murder trial reconstruction several times a day, so visitors can make their own mind up to whether Matthew Weeks was guilty of the murder, or not. In the video which is shown before the trial reconstruction, Clive Blake plays the part of Thomas Good the surgeon. The poem by Clive Blake (early version of) is hung on the ground floor to the left of the staircase.
