London Trunk Murder Trial Ends With Gallows Sentence
John Robinson, a solvent London house agent, killed Bessie Bonati in his office and hid her body in a trunk. He dismembered and deposited the trunk at Victoria Station left luggage, but a laundry mark and hotel cloth led investigators to his door. Medical testimony by Sir Bernard Spilsbury established suffocation by pressure and carbon monoxide absence, and Robinson was sentenced to death.
