The Jigsaw Murders - Murder Maps S04E03 - True Crime

Dr Ruxton was an Indian born physician. He lived a quiet, respectable life in Lancaster but had a violent jealous streak. He had accused his wife of infidelity for years and even drove her to attempt suicide in 1932. But in September 1935 Ruxton’s jealousy got the better of him. He beat, strangled and stabbed his wife to death then did the same to the housemaid who witnessed the killing.

Ruxton dismembered the bodies to remove identification marks and dumped them across the Scottish border. Local police were dumbfounded as to who the bodies were, the press had a field day. However a scrap of newsprint used to wrap the bodies was identified as a publication only available in Lancaster and Morecambe. The police soon honed in on Ruxton and after an eventful trial he was executed at HM Prison Manchester by Albert Pierrepoint.
