John Hutchinson

John Hutchinson was convicted of the murder of Albert Matthews 5 and sentenced to death.

He cut his throat at Narrow Marsh, Nottingham on 31 January 1905.

John Hutchinson had lodged with Albert Matthews's parents and had promised to put him to bed. However, Albert Matthews's mother later found Albert Matthews dead, his body having been terribly mutilated and dismembered.

He admitted that he had been drinking heavily for about a week before the murder with Albert Matthews's father and that on the day of the murder he had drunk about twenty cans (10 pints) of ale.
