Excerpt from the book:
"The photograph found was of a torso with nothing shown above the shoulders. This was commonplace, as other pictures taken at the time of the post-mortem would have identified the body.
"It's unbelievable; they just assumed it was him?" Tom stuttered.
"I knew instantly it wasn't Colin, as the guy in the picture was shorter and weightier. I told them so, and they apologised. They had no idea who the person in the picture was, as no other pictures had been found, so they surmised it was Colin," Stephan looked incredulous, "They are still investigating."
Evelyn, although shattered by the news, was relieved to discover Colin had not been assaulted before he died."
