What to expect
Your guide will lead you methodically through the neighbourhood, stopping at locations tied to each victim and the wider investigation. Rather than sensationalism, expect a grounded examination of the crimes within their social context—the slums, the police response, the theories that endured. The tablet lets you study photographs and details at each stop without squinting at distance. The pace is steady but involves roughly 90 minutes of walking; bring comfortable shoes. The narrative weighs evidence and challenges popular myths, treating the victims as people rather than plot points.
