As a London Month of the Dead regular, I was chuffed to have an event around Christmas. The performance was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect!

Join former Scotland Yard
detective Steven Keogh for a compelling talk that will re-examine
the Jack the Ripper murders through the lens of modern policing.
Drawing on his book Murder Investigation Team: Jack the Ripper,
Keogh will explore how a 21st-century investigation would approach
these infamous crimes — from the use of DNA analysis and digital
forensics to the ways witness statements, CCTV footage and
timelines would be constructed today.
By comparing the original 1880s investigation with current
investigative techniques, Keogh will highlight how far police work
has advanced, while also considering what core principles remain
unchanged. Through careful analysis of the evidence, he will offer
new insight into the motives and possible identity of the killer,
giving a thought-provoking perspective on one of history’s most
enduring mysteries.
Steve Keogh
Steve was a police officer with London's Metropolitan Police for 30 years, with over half of that time spent as a Scotland Yard detective, investigating murder and terrorism. Now retired from the force, his first book allows the reader to step inside the mind of an investigator in a never-before-seen look into what it takes to catch killers and bring them to justice. His second book, Murder Investigation Team: Jack the Ripper, is a fresh, new assessment of the unsolved Whitechapel murders, from a modern-day police expert.
His practice interrogates media, perception, and ideology,
encouraging viewers to question the familiar and see from new
perspectives. Committed to accessibility and inclusion, Jason’s
work explores otherness, human behaviour, and the stories we tell
ourselves and each other.
