Stratton Brothers case
Alfred Edward Stratton (born 1882) and his brother Albert Ernest Stratton (born 1884, both executed at 9am on May 23, 1905 at HM Prison, Wandsworth) were the first men to be convicted in Great Britain for murder based on fingerprint evidence. The case, otherwise known as the Mask Murders (due to the black stocking-top masks that had been left at the scene of the crime), the Deptford Murders (due to the location) or the Farrow Murders (the last name of the victims), was one of the earliest convictions using forensic science.
==The crime==
On Monday, 27 March 1905, at 8:30 am, William Jones went to Chapman's Oil and Colour Shop in the High Street in Deptford where he worked. When he arrived at the shop he found it closed and shuttered, which he found very unusual. The manager of the paint shop Thomas Farrow, aged 71, lived with his wife, Ann, aged 65, in the flat above the shop and he was not in the habit of having the shop still closed at such a late hour. Unable to open the door, Jones tried knocking but since he did not get any response from either Mr or Mrs Farrow he peeked through a window and saw that there were chairs knocked over.
Alarmed at what he saw, he ran for help and found Louis Kidman, a local resident who worked in a nearby store, and the two men forced their way into the shop. It was not long before they found the body of Mr Farrow on the ground dead, while Mrs Farrow was found barely alive but unconscious in the couple's bed in the upstairs flat. Both bore the signs of having been repeatedly beaten. A doctor and the police were called and Mrs Farrow was taken to hospital.
