The woman arrived at a hospital in Peshawar after trying to extract the 5cm (two-inch) nail with pliers.

I knew as a kid that if I stepped on a nail, I would have to get a Tetanus shot. The woman risked a nasty case of lock-jaw. I bet the quack doctor knew that. He wanted to make sure he kept her shut up.

Doug and Dinsdale Piranha were born on 27 , January 1928 and then again on 30, January 1928.

Their father, Arthur Piranha , a retired scrap metal collector and tv quizmaster was very well known to the police.

In 1927 he married the then “Kitty’’ Malone, an up and coming East End boxer.

That would have been known as the M&M murders.

And they shove his head in face down and Spilotro turned the vice till his eyes popped out.

I believe you know who they were trying to get info on. He died Aug of 2020.

The Family secrets trial was about the Killing of Tony Spilotro and his brother...If I remember right. That trial they identified 38 murders/hits by the Chicago outfit.
