The record of D.15 has more than just a pathological description and a number. It’s recorded as being “from a man named Latham who was shot by Burinelli in 1885”, a murder which became known as ‘The Foley Place Tragedy’ in newspaper articles across the country as the fate of Burinelli (also referred to as Buranelli) was decided.
