Constance Emily KENT

Constance Kent

Road Hill House, Wiltshire.

The substance of the Constance's confession was that she had waited until the family and servants
were asleep, had gone down to the drawing-room and opened the shutters and window, had then
taken the child from his room wrapped in a blanket that she had taken from between sheet and
counterpane in his cot (leaving both these undisturbed or readjusted), left the house and killed
him in the privy with a razor stolen from her father.

Mary Pratt Kent, Constance's step-mother.

Jonathan Whicher was one of the original members of the Detective Branch which had been
established at Scotland Yard in 1842. Called 'the prince of detectives' by his colleagues,
Whicher was 'a stout, scuffed man with a delicate manner'.
