Cleft Chin Murder
The cleft chin murder was a killing which occurred as part of a string of crimes during 1944, and was mentioned in George Orwell's essay " Decline of the English Murder". It became known as the "cleft chin murder" because the murder victim, George Edward Heath, a taxi driver, had a cleft chin. The culprits were Karl Hultén, a Swedish-born deserter from the U.S. Army, and Elizabeth Jones, an eighteen-year-old waitress. Jones later said she dreamed of "doing something exciting," and fantasized about being a stripper. At the time, Hultén described himself as an officer and as a Chicago gangster, both of which were false. History Jones was born in Neath, Wales, in 1926.

Hultén was born in Sweden in 1922 and had enlisted in the U.S. Army after the Attack on Pearl Harbor. On 3 October 1944, Jones (married but separated from h ...
