EXCLUSIVE Trial+ Series Out Now: Constance Marten & Mark Gordon
In this special three part Trial+ series, we’re looking into the backgrounds of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon following their guilty verdicts. Join The Crime Desk to hear shocking new details of the case that we haven’t been able to bring you until now.
Description
While Shipman and Bodkin Adams made their grisly mark on history as doctors who killed their patients, they weren’t the only men of medicine to murder. Dr Buck Ruxton and Dr Robert George Clements created their own wretched legends. Ruxton became infamous for the so-called Jigsaw Murders, pathologists concluded the mutilation of his two victims would have taken approximately eight hours to complete - and that the two bodies had been drained of both blood and internal organs at the time of their dismemberment. He would eventually be found out by pioneering forensic science work.
Clements was the doctor who killed all four of his wives for financial gain before taking his own life when he realised the game was up. He was charming, captivating to women, a high functioning psychopath wearing ‘the mask of sanity’.
