Skulls of grisly 'Jigsaw Murder' victims found in Scots uni store cupboard 90 years later

A search for the families of two women killed in the grisly 'Jigsaw Murders' 90 years ago is underway after their skulls were rediscovered in a store cupboard at Edinburgh University.

Evil Dr Buck Ruxton killed his wife, Isabella and their children's nanny, Mary Rogerson, in 1935. He removed their eyes, teeth and fingertips to prevent identification and dumped their remains in a ravine close to Moffat in the Borders, which later became known locally as “Ruxton’s Dump”.The case hit headlines across the globe when police discovered 70 body parts - including two severed heads - in areas nearby.

The murder broke new ground in forensic science when Edinburgh University helped build evidence against Ruxton, who was hanged for his wife's murder.

Almost 90 years on, scientists at the university have rediscovered the victims skulls and other bones in an archive. Professors have issued a public appeal to trace their families so the two women can be laid to rest.
