The Jigsaw Murders: Lancaster and the Crimes of Dr Buck Ruxton

A talk on Dr Buck Ruxton's notorious Lancaster murders, with author Jeremy Craddock, aimed at adults.

Author Jeremy Craddock, who wrote The Jigsaw Murders, uses archive photographs and documents to tell the shocking true story of Dr Ruxton's murders in Lancaster, the landmark police and forensic investigation that followed, and the impact it had on the local community. The talk lasts about an hour, with 30 minutes of relaxed Q&A afterwards, and the ticket price includes refreshments. This is designed for adults but suitable for ages 12 and up. It runs twice on the day at Lancaster City Museum, at 4pm and 7pm, so let the museum know your preferred time when booking.
