| At three o’clock in the morning a man left 112
| | [[image:tucksreport.bmp]] |
| Liverpool Road N1. Full moon and visibility good.
| |
| First time I had seen him but knew him as Lawrence Bacon
| |
| from descriptions from neighbours. A broad man well over
| |
| 6 ft tall with greying hair and full beard. Bacon walked
| |
| via Liverpool Rd and Copenhagen St to Regents Canal
| |
| taking near towpath and heading North. After a bit he
| |
| went slower looking in alleys and doorways by the light
| |
| of an electric torch. Finally he stopped before a
| |
| sleeping tramp. I was fifty yards away. He lifted his
| |
| arms and suddenly I heard from all around a whistling
| |
| noise. The tramp screamed on and on but Bacon never
| |
| touched him. Then both noises stopped. Bacon squatted
| |
| down and then turned and came back past me. I let him go
| |
| and went over to the place where he had stood. There was
| |
| a body there, a man I think, he arms were held up to
| |
| protect it and the face was frozen in fear – mouth open.
| |
| Poor sod died in terror and pain. I would think Bacon
| |
| killed him but if he did he must be a black magician or
| |
| something as the corpse was as dry as dust
| |
