Deptford, south-east London, March 1905. Thomas Farrow, the elderly manager of an oil-and-colour shop on the High Street, is found dead; his wife Ann is found gravely injured upstairs and dies four days later. The shop's cash box lies empty – and on its inner tray is a single thumb mark. This animated documentary from British Crime Vault follows the investigation into the Deptford murders: Sergeant Alfred Crutchett's careful handling of the cash box, Chief Inspector Frederick Fox and Assistant Commissioner Melville Macnaghten, and Detective Inspector Charles Collins of Scotland Yard's new Fingerprint Branch, who ruled out Thomas Farrow and the officers who had handled the box before finding a match with Alfred Stratton's right thumb. We follow the witnesses who placed the Stratton brothers on the streets that night, the trial at the Old Bailey in May 1905 before Mr Justice Channell, the defence challenge to the fingerprint evidence, and why the case is remembered as an early milestone for fingerprint evidence in an English murder trial – a case that still rested on the witnesses and the police work as a whole. We remember Thomas Farrow and Ann Farrow. ⚖️ Dramatised animated reconstruction based on court records and contemporary sources. Narration is based on the published Old Bailey trial record, contemporary newspaper reports and the memoirs of those involved. Quotations come from testimony and documents; no dialogue has been invented. Where accounts differ, we follow the sworn evidence and say where a detail comes from. Images are AI-assisted artistic reconstructions, not photographs. Fingerprint charts, maps and boards are newly drawn reconstructions, not the original exhibits. Documents and newspapers shown are recreations, and the narration voice is synthetic. 📚 SOURCES • Old Bailey Proceedings Online, trial of Alfred Stratton and Albert Ernest Stratton, May 1905 (t19050502-415): https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/record/t19050502-415 • The National Archives (Kew), catalogue entries: CRIM 1/98/5 (Central Criminal Court depositions, May 1905); HO 144/788/128907 (Home Office file, 1905) • Daily Mirror, March–May 1905 (reports of the case, trial and sentence); Manchester Guardian, 21 April and 8 May 1905 • Sir Melville Macnaghten, Days of My Years (1914), ch.
