Title: Dick Turpin E Fit
Post by: Miss Demeanour on July 17, 2009, 06:38:50 AM
Police e-fit specialists have drawn up the first "realistic" picture of infamous highway man Dick Turpin, 270 years after he was sent to the gallows.

The image has been created using descriptions published in an 18th Century newspaper.

The notorious criminal was executed in York in 1739.

The e-fit will appear on a 'Wanted' poster as part of a York Castle Museum exhibition of the cells in which Turpin spent his last night alive.

Is this really where police resources should be being used?  noooo: - although I appreciate it may still be an open case and they still have a squad looking for him  whistle:

I presume the museum must have paid for the service but why must everything these days have to have a definitive image  evil:

This is after all based on a description by someone else,  nothing more factual than that  Shrugs:

Whatever happened to people being able to use their own imaginations,  to create their own images that they feel may be  appropriate for the character .


Looks far too much like Mandleson to me  whistle:
