More than 120 years ago, London was not done with horrible murders. It had been barely ten years since Jack the Ripper had terrorized Whitechapel.
This story became known as The Oven Tragedy as reported by the newspapers of the time.
A shocking murder was committed at 82 William Street, Hampstead. It was alleged that two men quarreled and that one of the men after killing the other, cut the head off and threw both body and head into a baker's oven.
