7. Cursed
A shocking miscarriage of justice which led to the execution of Mahmood Mattan.
It happened 70 years ago but the story didn't end there...
Mahmood Mattan's family received a six-figure compensation pay-out after his conviction for murder was quashed - but it didn't bring them the peace of mind they craved.
The "blood money" brought with it its own problems, as his sons increasingly struggled to cope.
And that was compounded by a police re-investigation which failed to identify any "new lines of enquiry". Lily's killer would never be found.
