BLACK MAN is Arrested, But When Cops Find Out Who He is, They’RE in SHOCK! –

Marcus Johnson, a 45-year-old lieutenant colonel in the Atlanta Police Department, always took pride in his work. After over 20 years of service, he and his family had established a comfortable and secure life in Atlanta. His wife, Angela, worked as a nurse at the local hospital, and their teenage children, Jaden and Maya, were happy and well integrated into their schools.

One Monday morning, Marcus was reviewing reports in his office when he received a phone call from the police chief. He was summoned for an urgent meeting…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“Marcus, we have a situation,” began the police chief with a serious tone. “You’ve been transferred to Cedarville, Alabama. They need someone with your experience to lead a special operation there.”

“Transferred?” Marcus was stunned. “But sir, my family, we’re all settled here. Why Cedarville?”

“The request came directly from the governor. It’s a matter of necessity. I understand it’s a change, but we believe you’re the right man for the job.”

Marcus left the meeting feeling overwhelmed. He knew the move would be tough on his family, but duty called. When he got home, Angela was in the kitchen preparing dinner, and the kids were in the living room laughing at something on TV.

“Honey, we need to talk,” he said with a serious expression.

Angela looked at him, concerned. “What’s wrong, Marcus?”

He sighed. “I’ve been transferred to Cedarville, Alabama. We have to move in a month.”

Jaden and Maya overheard and entered the kitchen. “Move to Alabama?” Jaden asked, incredulous. “But what about our friends and school?”

“I know it’s a big change, son,” Marcus replied, trying to stay calm, “but it’s an important career opportunity. We need to support each other as a family.”

Angela nodded, trying to mask the worry on her face. “Okay, Marcus, we’ll face this together.”

In the following days, the Johnson family began preparing for the move. They said goodbye to friends and colleagues, packed their belongings, and mentally prepared for the new chapter in Cedarville.

On the eve of the move, Marcus and Angela talked about the future as they packed the last few items. “I’m worried about how we’ll be received there,” Marcus said, looking out the living room window.

“It will be okay, Marcus. You’ve always overcome challenges, and we’ll all be in this together,” Angela said, squeezing his hand.

“I hope so, Angela. I really do.”

With a mix of anticipation and apprehension, the Johnson family set off for Cedarville, ready to face the unknown and determined to stay united no matter the challenges that lay ahead. The journey from Atlanta to Cedarville was long and quiet. Marcus drove the family car while Angela and the kids watched the landscape gradually change. The tall buildings of Atlanta gave way to open fields and quieter roads. The anxiety was palpable in the air.

When they finally arrived in Cedarville, the small town seemed asleep. It was a stark contrast to vibrant Atlanta. The houses were smaller, the streets narrower, and the pace of life clearly slower.

“Well, welcome to Cedarville,” Marcus said, trying to sound upbeat, though he knew his family felt the same nervousness he did.

“It’s different,” Maya commented, looking out the car window.

“It’s definitely not Atlanta,” added Jaden, crossing his arms.

Angela tried to remain optimistic. “Let’s give it a chance. Who knows, it might be a good change.”

They drove to the house the precinct had arranged for them. It was a simple house but spacious enough for the family. As they unloaded their bags, neighbors watched from their porches, some with curious looks, others with less friendly expressions.

The next morning, Marcus went to the Cedarville police station to introduce himself. The building was old, with red brick walls and a faded sign. He entered and was greeted by a receptionist who seemed surprised to see him.

“Good morning, I’m Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Johnson. I’m here to take command of the special operation.”

The receptionist, a middle-aged woman with gray hair, looked at him for a moment before responding. “Ah, yes, of course. I’ll get the chief.”

While he waited, Marcus took in his surroundings. Several white officers eyed him with suspicion. The precinct chief, Captain Harris, finally appeared. He was a burly man in his 50s with a stern expression.

“Johnson, right? Let’s talk in my office.”

Once inside the office, Harris closed the door and sat down, gesturing for Marcus to take a seat. “Listen, Johnson, I know you’ve been sent here by the higher-ups, but we have our own way of doing things here.”

Marcus remained composed. “Understood, Captain. I’m here to help and collaborate in any way I can.”

Harris smiled, though the smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Great. I hope we can come to an understanding.”

Back at home, Angela and the kids were unpacking the last few boxes. Angela paused for a moment and looked out the window, watching the neighbors. “I hope we can adapt here,” she said more to herself than to the kids.

“We will, Mom,” Jaden said, trying to be positive. “It’ll be tough, but we’re strong.”

Maya, who was organizing her books on the shelf, looked at her mom. “Yeah, together we can do this.”

That night, the family gathered for dinner. Despite being in a new environment, the familiar ritual brought some comfort. Marcus recounted his first day at the precinct and the impressions he had.

“It won’t be easy,” Marcus admitted, “but we’ve faced tough things before. We’ll get through this together.”

Angela held Marcus’s hand for a moment. “We’re all in this together, one day at a time.”

And so, the Johnson family began to adjust to life in Cedarville, aware of the challenges they would face but determined to remain united and strong. In the early days in Cedarville, the Johnson family tried to settle into their new routine. Marcus left early for the precinct, where the reception was still cold and the suspicious glances persisted. Angela started at the local hospital, where she also felt a certain distance from her colleagues. However, her kind and professional nature soon began to break down barriers. Jaden and Maya started classes at their new school, where they faced both curiosity and prejudice.

At the precinct, Marcus realized it would be a long road to earn the trust of his new team. One morning, arriving for the daily meeting, he noticed the conversations abruptly ceased as he entered the room.

“Good morning, everyone,” Marcus said, trying to sound confident. Some responded with murmurs, while others just glanced at him briefly. Sergeant Peters, one of the veterans, seemed particularly resistant to Marcus’s presence.

“Let’s start with the updates on the ongoing cases,” Marcus said, looking at the papers in front of him. “Peters, can you update us on the status of the Main Street robbery investigation?”

Peters gave Marcus a cold look before responding. “We’re following the usual leads. Nothing new so far.”

Marcus remained calm. “All right. We’ll need more effort on this. Can we talk after the meeting?”

Peters nodded half-heartedly. “Sure.”

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Angela also faced her difficulties. During a break, she tried to mingle with some fellow nurses, but the reception was lukewarm.

“Hi, I’m Angela Johnson. I just moved here with my family.”

One of the nurses, Sarah, smiled briefly. “Ah, you’re the new wife of the transfer policeman. I hope he adapts well.”

“Thank you,” Angela replied, trying to hide her disappointment at the vague answer. “I’m excited to work here and get to know all of you.”

At school, Jaden and Maya were trying to find their place. At lunch, Jaden sat down with some classmates, but the conversation quickly turned to his father.

“I heard your dad’s a great Atlanta cop,” one of the boys said in a tone Jaden couldn’t decipher. “Has he ever arrested anyone famous?”

“Not that I know of,” Jaden replied, trying to keep the conversation light. “But he’s very good at what he does.”

“I hope so,” said the boy, casting a glance at the others. “Things are different here.”

Maya, in turn, faced more direct comments. As she walked through the halls, she heard whispers and laughter. One of the girls approached her.

“So, you’re new here, right? Where did you come from?”

“Atlanta,” Maya replied, trying to sound confident.

“Ah, a big city. I hope you can get used to our small town,” said the girl with a smile that did not look friendly.

That evening, the family gathered for dinner, a moment that everyone was looking forward to after a hard day. Marcus recounted his interaction with Peters and the indifferent response of the sergeant.

“This is unacceptable, Marcus,” Angela said, worried. “You cannot continue to be treated like this.”

“I know, Angela. I’m documenting everything, but I need to be careful. I can’t lose my cool.”

Jaden agreed. “Today on the basketball team, one of the boys started making jokes about you, Dad. They don’t understand.”

Maya nodded. “And in school, the girls make it look like I don’t belong here.”

Marcus sighed. “We are all facing this, but we need to be strong. They want us to give up, to show weakness, but we will not give in.”

Angela held Marcus’s hand. “We’re in this together, and we’ll get through it.”

With the unwavering support of his family, Marcus knew he could rise to the challenges of Cedarville. The fight against prejudice would be long and difficult, but together they could overcome any adversity.

It was a Friday night when Marcus decided to head out for a brief jog through the quiet streets of Cedarville. He always found peace in running, a chance

to clear his mind and relieve the accumulated stress of the week. He put on his running clothes, put on his headphones, and left the house.

As he ran, Marcus reflected on the challenges his family had been facing: the resistance at the police station, the prejudice at school for Jaden and Maya, and the suspicious looks of some neighbors. But he also thought of the strength of his family, the togetherness that held them together.

The night was cool and the streets were deserted. After about 30 minutes, Marcus decided to return home. On the way back, he noticed a police car patrolling the area. Marcus waved casually, but the car stopped and two policemen quickly got out.

“Hey, you there!” shouted one of the policemen with his hand on his waist near the holster. “Stop where you are!”

Marcus stopped and took off his headphones. “Good evening, officers. Any problems?”

The policeman who had spoken, a burly white man, approached with a stern expression. “What are you doing here at this hour? You don’t seem to be from around here.”

“I’m just running,” Marcus replied calmly. “I am Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Johnson, recently transferred to Cedarville police station.”

The second policeman, a young man with a thin face, looked suspiciously. “Documents?”

Marcus took a deep breath, feeling the tension rise. “I don’t have my documents now. I’m just running close to home.”

The first policeman laughed contemptuously. “Right, Johnson. Do you expect us to believe that a man like you lives in this neighborhood?”

“Exactly what do you mean by ‘a man like me’?” Marcus asked, keeping his voice steady.

“You know very well what I mean. Now, lie on the floor, hands on your head,” ordered the older policeman.

Marcus raised his hands in a calm gesture. “Officers, this is a big misunderstanding. I’m actually a police lieutenant colonel. We can solve this without any problems.”

“Get down on the ground now!” shouted the young policeman, pulling out his baton.

Feeling the situation spiral out of control, Marcus slowly knelt down, laying down on the floor. The officers quickly handcuffed him, ignoring his attempts to explain.

“What a beautiful catch,” said the older policeman, lightly kicking Marcus’s side. “Let’s see what else we can find out about you.”

Meanwhile, at home, Angela began to worry about Marcus being late. He usually didn’t stay out that long. She called his cell phone, but there was no answer.

“Jaden, Maya, come here,” called Angela, trying to hide the growing anxiety in her voice.

“What is it, Mom?” Jaden asked, entering the room with Maya.

“Your father is taking longer than usual. I’m worried.”

Jaden took the car keys. “I’ll look for him. He must be around.”

Maya held her mother’s hand. “It will be all right, Mom.”

Jaden drove through the nearby streets looking for Marcus when he saw the flashing lights of a police car in the distance. His heart raced. As he approached, he saw Marcus handcuffed, being pushed into the back seat of the car. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Dad!” Jaden shouted, getting out of the car and running in the direction of the officers.

“Son, stay calm,” Marcus said, trying to look calm. “Please take my documents at home and bring them here.”

The older policeman looked at Jaden disdainfully. “Who are you?”

“I am his son. I’ll get the documents now.”

Jaden ran back home, grabbed Marcus’s wallet, and was back in a few minutes. He handed over the documents to the police officers, who finally verified Marcus’s identity.

“Damn,” muttered the younger policeman, realizing the mistake.

The older policeman looked furious, but he knew that they had made a big mistake. “Take off the handcuffs. Sorry for the misunderstanding,” said the young policeman, clearly uncomfortable.

Marcus stood up, rubbing his wrists. “This misunderstanding will not be forgotten. You will answer for it.”

Back home, Angela hugged Marcus tightly, relieved to see him safe and sound. “Are you all right?” she asked, her voice trembling.

“I am, but it can’t stay that way,” Marcus said, determination clear in his eyes. “They need to be held accountable.”

And so, the incident not only shook the Johnson family but also lit a flame of justice in Marcus, who knew that the fight against prejudice in Cedarville was just beginning.

After the humiliating incident, Marcus Johnson returned home with a mix of frustration and determination. The situation he had faced the night before could not be ignored. He needed to act, not just for himself, but to make sure other people didn’t go through the same situation.

The next morning, the house was silent, each member of the family absorbed in their thoughts about what had happened.

“Let’s have coffee together,” Marcus said, trying to sound calm.

As they sat at the table, Angela looked at him with concern. “What are you going to do, Marcus?”

“I will report the incident to the chief of police. They need to know what happened. In addition, I intend to file a formal complaint.”

Jaden, visibly still shaken by what he witnessed, looked at his father in admiration. “Do you think this will change anything, Dad?”

“Maybe not right away, son,” Marcus replied, “but it’s a start, and it’s the right thing to do.”

After coffee, Marcus headed to the police station. As he entered, he felt the stares of his colleagues fixed on him. He went straight to Captain Harris’s office and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Harris said without lifting his eyes from the papers in front of him.

“Captain, I need to talk to you about something serious that happened last night,” Marcus said, closing the door behind him.

Harris looked at him, finally looking up. “What happened, Johnson?”

Marcus told him in detail about the incident, from the approach of the police officers to the humiliation he suffered. Harris listened in silence, his expression becoming more and more serious.

“This is unacceptable,” Harris finally said. “Do you have witnesses?”

“My son, Jaden, saw it all, and I want to file a formal complaint against the police officers involved.”

Harris sighed, running his hand through his hair. “I’ll take care of it. We will investigate and take appropriate action.”

Meanwhile, at school, Jaden and Maya were also dealing with the repercussions. During the break, Jaden was approached by Brian, the boy who used to tease him.

“I heard your father was detained last night,” Brian said with a sarcastic smile.

“It was a mistake,” Jaden replied, trying to remain calm. “They didn’t know who he was.”

“Yeah, I heard that. But you know, Jaden, sometimes even if you’re someone important, people will still judge you by the color of your skin.”

Jaden stared at Brian, trying not to let his anger show. “My father will do what is right, and that will change things.”

Brian shrugged. “We shall see.”

At the police station, investigations began. Marcus continued to do his job, but the atmosphere was more tense than ever. Some colleagues began to avoid eye contact, while others looked at him with open disdain. He knew he was being watched closely.

One afternoon, while he was reviewing reports, the door to his office opened abruptly. It was Peters.

“Can we talk?” said Peters with an indecipherable expression.

Marcus nodded, gesturing for Peters to sit down. “What do you want, Peters?”

“I heard about what happened,” Peters began, avoiding Marcus’s gaze. “I’m not going to lie; I don’t like how things are changing around here. But no one deserves to go through what you went through.”

“That’s good to hear, Peters,” Marcus said, expressionless. “But words are not enough. We need action. It can’t go on like this.”

Peters stood up, hesitant. “I know. I hope things will change.”

That night at home, Marcus and Angela talked about the next steps. “Do you think they’re really going to do something about it?” Angela asked, worried.

“I hope so,” Marcus replied. “But if they don’t, we will take it forward. Let’s go to the media if necessary. I’m not going to let this go unpunished.”

Angela held Marcus’s hand. “We are all with you. Let’s get through this together.”

With the firm decision to fight injustice, Marcus knew the battle was just beginning. He was prepared to face the challenges, knowing that his family and justice were on his side.

The next morning, Marcus Johnson arrived at the police station with renewed determination. He knew the road ahead would be arduous, but he was ready to fight for justice. As he entered, he noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere. Whispers ran through the corridors, and curious glances followed him. Captain Harris had ordered an internal investigation into the incident, and the presence of outside investigators at the police station only added to the tension.

Marcus met with the lead investigator, Detective Wallace, a middle-aged man with a keen eye.

“Good morning, Lieutenant Colonel Johnson,” Wallace said, shaking Marcus’s hand firmly. “I am here to conduct the investigation into what happened on Friday night.”

“Good morning, Detective Wallace,” Marcus replied. “Thank you for being here. I am willing to cooperate in any way possible.”

Meanwhile, at school, Jaden and Maya also faced the consequences of the incident. During history class, the teacher, Mrs. Carter, addressed the topic of civil rights and the fight against racism. Jaden knew that everyone in the room was thinking of him and his family.

“We can learn a lot from history,” Mrs. Carter said, “but we also need to reflect on what happens in our own lives and communities.”

After class, Brian approached Jaden again. “Dude

, it looks like your dad is in the middle of a storm.”

“Yes, and we are fighting for justice,” Jaden replied, trying to remain calm. “This will not stop us.”

At the police station, Marcus sat with Wallace and two other investigators, recounting the events of the night of the incident. “I was just running near my house,” Marcus explained, “when the police approached me. I tried to explain who I was, but they wouldn’t listen.”

Wallace took detailed notes. “I understand. We will speak to the officers involved and review what happened.”

As the investigation continued, tension in the police station increased. Many police officers began to feel the pressure, knowing that their actions were being scrutinized. Sergeant Peters, who had been resistant from the start, now seemed more cautious.

“Johnson, can I talk to you?” Peters said, approaching Marcus in the hallway.

“Of course, Peters,” Marcus replied, maintaining a neutral tone.

Peters hesitated before speaking. “I don’t agree with everything that’s going on, but no one deserves to go through what you went through. If you need anything, I’m here.”

Marcus looked at Peters, surprised by the sudden change in attitude. “Thank you, Peters. We need to work together to change things around here.”

At home, Angela was worried about the safety of Marcus and the children. “Marcus, I’m scared of what might happen. What if they try to retaliate?”

“I know it’s hard, Angela,” Marcus replied, holding her hand, “but we have to be strong. I’m doing this for us and for everyone who faces the same prejudice.”

Maya, who was listening to the conversation, approached. “Dad, we are with you. Let’s get through this together.”

The following week, investigators completed their analysis of the evidence and statements. Captain Harris called a meeting with Marcus and the officers involved.

“Johnson, we want to inform you that after a thorough investigation, the officers responsible for the incident have been found guilty of misconduct and will be suspended immediately,” Harris said, looking directly at Marcus.

“This is a step in the right direction,” Marcus replied. “Thank you for your support, Captain.”

As he left the meeting, Marcus felt a weight being lifted from his shoulders. He knew the battle was far from over, but this was a beginning. He walked out of the police station, looked up at the sky, and felt a new hope grow within him.

Back home, Marcus shared the news with his family. Angela smiled, relieved, and Jaden and Maya hugged him.

It had been a few weeks since the officers involved were suspended. Marcus Johnson was focused on preparing for the next step, the trial. The case had gained notoriety in the city, and the community was divided between supporters of Marcus and those still resisting change.

On the morning of the trial, Marcus arrived at the courthouse accompanied by his lawyer, Mr. Thompson, and his family. Angela held his hand firmly, while Jaden and Maya stood beside her, both with determined expressions.

Inside the courtroom, the mood was solemn. Lawyers for both sides were prepared to present their arguments. The judge entered the room, and everyone stood up.

“You may sit down,” said the judge as he settled into his chair. “We are here today to determine the culpability of the defendants in the case of misconduct and abuse of power against Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Johnson.”

The defense lawyer, Mr. Walker, stood up first to present his case. “Your Excellency, my clients acted on limited information and in a situation of high tension. They acted according to police protocol to ensure the safety of the community.”

Then Marcus’s lawyer, Mr. Thompson, made his statement. “Your Excellency, this case is not just a procedural error. This is a pattern of racial discrimination that cannot be tolerated. My client was the victim of unfair treatment and humiliation simply because of his skin color.”

During the trial, witnesses were called to testify, including Jaden, who described the emotional impact of the incident on his family. Maya also spoke about how the event affected her vision of justice and equality.

After days of arguments and deliberations, the judge finally delivered his verdict. “Based on the evidence presented and the testimony of witnesses, this court finds the defendants guilty of misconduct and abuse of power. They will be suspended from their duties immediately and face additional disciplinary consequences.”

A murmur of approval went through the room. Angela shook Marcus’s hand with relief, while Jaden and Maya hugged each other, thrilled.

“We did it, Dad,” Jaden said with a smile on his face. “We got justice.”

Marcus looked at his family gratefully. “Yes, we did. But this is not just a victory for us; it is a victory for all who fight injustice.”

After the trial, Marcus and his family were surrounded by friends, supporters, and reporters. Local media wanted to know his views on the verdict and the impact of the case on the community.

“This verdict shows that justice has prevailed,” Marcus told reporters. “But our struggle does not end here. We will continue to work to create a community where everyone is treated equally and with respect.”

At home, after a long day, Marcus sat down with his family for a quiet meal. They talked about the trial, reflected on the challenges they faced, and celebrated the victory.

“I’m proud of you, Marcus,” Angela said, smiling at him. “You have shown courage and determination throughout this process.”

Marcus held Angela’s hand. “I couldn’t have done it without you by my side. You are my strength.”

Jaden and Maya exchanged a look of pride. “We’re here to support you, Dad,” Maya said with a smile.

With justice finally achieved, Marcus Johnson knew he had made a difference not only for his family but for the entire Cedarville community. The fight against prejudice and discrimination would continue, but they were more united and determined than ever.

Guy Fawkes’ punishment was one of the most severe in English history – here’s what happens when a body is hung, drawn and quartered

After their infamous plot to destroy parliament was foiled, Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators received one of the most severe judicial sentences in English history: hanging, drawing and quartering. According to the Treason Act 1351 , this punishment involved…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution, where you shall be hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, your privy members shall be cut off and your bowels taken out and burned before you, your head severed from your body and your body divided into four quarters to be disposed of at the King’s pleasure.

This process aimed not only to inflict excruciating pain on the condemned, but to serve as a deterrent – demonstrating the fate of those who betrayed the Crown. While Fawkes reportedly jumped from the gallows – which meant he avoided the full extent of his punishment – his co-conspirators apparently weren’t so lucky.

By dissecting each stage of this medieval punishment from an anatomical perspective, we can understand the profound agony each of them endured.

Torture for confession

Before his public execution on January 31 1606, Fawkes was tortured to force a confession about his involvement in the “gunpowder plot”.

The Tower of London records confirm that King James I personally authorised “the gentler tortures first”. Accounts reveal that Fawkes was stretched on the rack – a device designed to slowly pull the limbs in opposite directions. This stretching inflicted severe trauma on the shoulders, elbows and hips, as well as the spine.

The forces exerted by the rack probably exceeded those required for joint or hip dislocation under normal conditions.

Substantive differences between Fawkes’ signatures on confessions between November 8 and shortly before his execution may indicate the amount of nerve and soft tissue damage sustained. It also illustrates how remarkable his final leap from the gallows was.

Stage 1: hanging (partial strangulation)

After surviving the torture of the rack, Fawkes and his gang faced the next stage of their punishment: hanging. But this form of hanging only partially strangled the condemned – preserving their consciousness and prolonging their suffering.

Partial strangulation exerts extreme pressure on several critical neck structures. The hyoid bone , a small u-shaped structure above the larynx, is prone to bruising or fracture under compression .

Simultaneously, pressure on the carotid arteries restricts blood flow to the brain, while compression of the jugular veins causes pooling of blood in the head – probably resulting in visible haemorrhages in the eyes and face.

Because the larynx and trachea (both essential for airflow) are partially obstructed, this makes breathing laboured. Strain on the cervical spine and surrounding muscles in the neck can lead to tearing, muscle spasms or dislocation of the vertebra – causing severe pain.

Fawkes brought his agony to a premature end by leaping from the gallows. Accounts from the time tell us:

His body being weak with the torture and sickness, he was scarce able to go up the ladder – yet with much ado, by the help of the hangman, went high enough to break his neck by the fall.

This probably caused him to suffer a bilateral fracture of his second cervical vertebra, assisted by his own bodyweight – an injury known as the “hangman’s fracture” .

Stage 2: Drawing (disembowelment)

After enduring partial hanging, the victim would then be “drawn” – a process which involved disembowelling them while still alive. This act mainly targeted the organs of the abdominal cavity – including the intestines, liver and kidney, as well as major blood vessels such as the abdominal aorta.

The physiological response to disembowelment would have been immediate and severe. The abdominal cavity possesses a high concentration of pain receptors – particularly around the membranous lining of the abdomen . When punctured, these pain receptors would have sent intense pain signals to the brain, overwhelming the body’s capacity for pain management . Shock would soon follow due to the rapid drop in blood pressure caused by massive amounts of blood loss.

Stage 3: quartering (dismemberment)

Quartering was also supposed to be performed while the victim was still alive. Though no accounts exist detailing at what phase victims typically lost consciousness during execution, it’s highly unlikely many survived the shock of being drawn.

So, at this stage, publicity superseded punishment given the victim’s likely earlier demise. Limbs that were removed from criminals were preserved by boiling them with spices. These were then toured around the country to act as a deterrent for others.

Though accounts suggest Fawkes’s body parts were sent to “the four corners of the United Kingdom”, there is no specific record of what was sent where. However, his head was displayed in London .

Traitor’s punishment

The punishment of hanging, drawing and quartering was designed to be as anatomically devastating as it was psychologically terrifying. Each stage of the process exploited the vulnerabilities of the human body to create maximum pain and suffering, while also serving as a grim reminder of the consequences of treason.

This punishment also gives us an insight into how medieval justice systems used the body as a canvas for social and political messaging. Fawkes’s fate, though unimaginable today, exemplifies the extremes to which the state could, and would, go to maintain control, power and authority over its subjects.

The sentence of hanging, drawing and quartering was officially removed from English law as part of the Forfeiture Act of 1870 .
