In Part 1 of this blog post we outlined how conducting house-to-house enquiries, analysing CCTV evidence and conducting property searches helped police to locate and convict serial killer Anthony Hardy for the murder and dismemberment of two prostitutes in Camden, North London.
This evidence alone, however, was not enough to convict Hardy for the murders of 29-year-old Elizabeth Valad and 34-year-old Bridget MacClennan. The police still needed to uncover more evidence to link Hardy to the horrific crimes, and this is where forensic science and innovative luminol search techniques helped towards Hardy’s eventual conviction for not two, but three murders.
