Alfred Stratton (born c. 1883) and his brother Albert Ernest (born c. 1885, both died May 23, 1905) were the first men to be convicted in Great Britain for murder based on fingerprint evidence. The case, otherwise known as the Mask Murders (due to the black stocking-top masks that had been left at the scene of the crime), the Deptford Murders (due to the location) or the Farrow Murders (the last name of the victims), is widely regarded as the case that truly launched forensic science.
