In the summer of 1901, a brutal double murder shook the island of Rügen.
A landmark trial ensued, intensely debated by an appalled public all over Germany as it set new standards in forensic science, psychiatry and jurisprudence.
My new book investigates this murder on Rügen, opening a window into the fascinating world of crime, insanity and justice in Imperial Germany.

A bride leaving her recently bombed home to get married in London, November 1940.
Her name was Ena Squire-Brown, a dancer famous for her “Dove Dance,” and that morning she was on her way to St. George’s Church in Forest Hill to marry a young Royal Air Force officer, J.C. Martin. London was in the middle of the Blitz, with German bombers attacking the city night after night, and her home had just been hit. Behind her, the windows are shattered, the roof has been torn open, and the front garden is buried under twisted metal and rubble.
By the end of the Blitz, more than a million London homes had been damaged or destroyed. Hers was one of them, and still she walked out of it in her wedding dress, smiling, as if nothing in the world could spoil that day for her...

🚨🇬🇧 Turning Point UK's CEO was filmed offering an undercover reporter a menu of beatings, stabbings and killings through a Glasgow contact who says he arms the UVF
Al Jazeera’s undercover operation started in 2021 when a reporter joined the British offshoot of the American student group.
Its CEO Jack Ross, a Conservative candidate in 2023, introduced the reporter to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal and self-described UVF member, agreed on camera to pay him to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally, and priced out what Nesbitt’s friends could do to a person, from cutting faces to MURDER.
The UVF is the Ulster Volunteer Force, a Protestant loyalist paramilitary from Northern Ireland’s Troubles that killed over 500 people between 1966 and 1999, including 33 in one day in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, and is still banned as a terror group.
Since the peace deal it has run mostly as a drug gang that kept the name and the guns.
Nesbitt reportedly met the reporter in a London hotel, offered to have a fictional business rival “finished,” claimed he’d personally stabbed a man to death, showed a shotgun and pistol on a video call and said the fee would buy weapons smuggled from Scotland into Northern Ireland.
Ross says it was a joke. The joke came with a price list, a weapons demo and a smuggling route, and the police now have a name and a video... and wasn't particularly funny.
Somebody in Turning Point UK’s donor base should be asking when the fundraising dinners turned into this.
