Join crime historian Adam Wood for an evening of local true crime tales, when he reveals some of the darkest stories from Leicester’s Victorian past.

Cases include the man stabbed to death after arguing with five Italian organ grinders, the argument between two local quarrymen which ended with a pickaxe being buried in the skull of one, and the man who resolved his long-running feud with his father - by smashing him on the head with a hammer.

That’s not to mention the young man who told anyone who would listen that alcohol was the path to ruin - but not before he had had a skinful himself, and almost decapitated his sweetheart and thrown her body in a ditch.
