life murder case of  Patrick Mahon. In 1924, in Sussex, England, Mahon murdered his  pregnant mistress, Emily Kaye, and dismembered her body. In the  modern interview, Alfred Hitchcock (I) (qv) claimed that Mahon  threw the body parts out of a train window piece by piece and burned  the head in his fireplace. Another modern source, however, states  that Mahon quartered the body and stored it in a large trunk, then  removed internal organs, putting some in biscuit tins and a hatbox  and boiling others on the stove.
