The torso in the river: "Adam"

Episode 15 hears Han tell the story of the "Adam" torso case, where the discovery of a young boy's torso in the River Thames, London, on September 21, 2001 takes us on a wild ride into ritualistic murder, cutting edge scientific investigation and proper horrible descriptions of child abuse...yeh sorry Trevors! 

Over 20 years on, "Adam"s real identity is still unknown, the perpetrators of the atrocious murder are unknown and basically...everything is awful
