This shocking article of Mary Halliwell finding out that she found a skeleton 189 years later of the son of her great great great grand father's brother. The skeleton, 'named' Jon Horwood, is found in Bristol University where his body is displayed in a cabinet.
Why is the skeleton kept there? well, after the lad was sentenced to death after spotting sweetheart Eliza Balsom with a new love and lobbing a pebble at her and accidentally killed her, the surgeon whom operated on Eliza Balsom, Dr Richard, smith publicly skinned the corspe of Jon Horwood, keeping his skeleton at his house before moving it to the bristol university, and he used the tanned skin from Jon Horwood to bind a book, called the "Book of Skin" is currently kept at the Bristol Records Office.The "Book of Skin" is currently kept at the Bristol Records Office.
However, Mary Halliwell launced a legal battle against Bristol university and won the legal rights to gain the skeleton back and she plans to bury the skeleton beside his family's burial plot in nearby Hanham.
This shows that human bestiality has been around far longer than we have ever knew and that we are fortunate that such death penalties do not happen anymore in the world, and that people who are sentenced to death would have died a more peaceful manner such as by hanging.
