You know I was talking official statistics when I thought about the idea that Rose could have strangled herself. Is this not I thought as we were dissing official statistics in my seminar last week, a classic case of how crime statistics cannot be seen as a fact. Now I would have brought this up, but I was thinking, I couldn’t actually remember what it eventually got recorded as.

I was also realising that I was assuming the idea she could have strangled herself was out there and not possible.

That’s almost a question

Surely if she had strangled herself then the cord would still have been present? or are you just reafirming Dr Bonds idea that she had accidently choked on her stiff collar?

The same Dr Bond who thought it unlikely she had had children when she clearly had a son?

However one must agree with you that the lack of a second pair of foot prints was somewhat puzzling?

I guess the question that needs answering is...Is it possible for the suposed finger prints around the neck could have faded in the five day period between two examinations?

Jeff
I posted this over on the Murder in the LVP thread recently:

(I have included this case after finding a report in The Times of December 29 which does appear to verify the fact that Mylett was murdered.)

That report - which I hadn't seen before - seems to confirm that Mylett was strangled by another person, something to do with the amount of blood found under the skin when it was removed.
Worth a look.
