The Beauty in the Bath murder was one of the highest profile cases in UK history. John Taft was arrested for the killing of beautician Cynthia Bolshaw 16 years after the crime was committed. He was married to his wife for just 19 days before he was arrested. His wife refused to believe that Taft was guilty of the murder, in which the victim was found face down, naked and dead in her bath at a bungalow in Heswell, Cheshire.


David Wilson, a professor of criminology, tells the story about how this murder case was finally cracked by scientists. Utilizing the latest forensic techniques, police were able to go back to the original evidence and make an arrest nearly two decades after the crime had occurred. Taft’s DNA was found on Bolshaw’s negligee, however he claimed she was alive when he left her bungalow.


This overview of one of the highest profile and most captivating murder cases in UK history is worth watching for any criminal justice students, professors, and those who are interested in how forensic evidence can be used to convict someone of a crime years after it was committed.
