The Policy Of Truth.

In 1983, construction workers found a decomposing human head whilst digging in a peat bog in Cheshire. Identified as a middle-aged female, the police soon linked the head to Malika Reyn-Bardt, missing since 1960. Her husband, Peter Reyn-Bardt, in prison on different charges, when faced with the discovery, confessed to murdering her and burying her in the bogs. He was duly convicted and sentenced based on his confession, though shortly after his trial the head was radiocarbon dated to actually be 2,000 years old, and not that of his missing wife.
