25 July

On 25 July 1987, Harry Harvey made his weekly trip to Smithfield Cemetery, a cruising ground for gay men. There, he witnessed the violent murder of Simon Jenkins, and sustained a significant knife wound himself. Someone — maybe something — he couldn't fully identifier scared away Jenkins' murderer before Harvey himself was killed. Fearful of awkward questions at a hospital, he chose to stitch his wound up himself. (PROSE: Damaged Goods)
