A piece of old floor carpet from a car, a patterned pinafore dress and an old Guinness sign from a pub. A sparse and bizarre collection of clues detectives were left with to find a killer.
On a cold January day in 2010, the Angel Meadow site just outside the city centre - no stranger to tragedy as the home of one of the largest and most notorious Industrial Revolution slums of its day in Manchester - gave up a violent secret. The covered body of a woman.
