In the Secrets of Scotland Yard episode Blodie Belgium, the story begins on November 2, 1917, when a street scavenger known as Jack the Sweeper stumbles upon a horrifying sight in Regent Square, London. Wrapped in sacking, he discovers a dismembered body, missing its head, legs, and hands. The body is covered in delicate lace and a note scrawled with the words 'Bloody Belgium' raises immediate questions about the victim's identity, suggesting she may be a Belgian refugee amidst the turmoil of World War I.
