Splif Bantom of Scotland Yard – Crime scene

by

Splif Bantom’s genius spills over in his latest image of a crime scene exactly one year after the crime was committed. Splif often prefers not to mention the crimes that were committed, but in this case he has mentioned that the scene is in Carlinhgy Castle near Aberdeen. Basic research tells us that it is the scene of the hushed up Theft of the Scottish Crown Jewels, which Bantom solved using a powerful pair of binoculars and the offer of a cheese sandwich. Full details have never come out, but this image spectacularly shows how Splif’s success allows normal castle life to continue.

Splif Bantom of Scotland Yard and his photos of crime scenes one year after the crime was committed

by

As well as being an artist Splif Bantom is a high-ranking detective at Scotland Yard. He has solved many cases including the Bewley Havant disappearance and the case that became known in the press as The Mystery of the Poisoned Shoe. But it is in fine art that Splif always wanted to have a career, and he has now managed to combine his two great loves, viz, art and crime.

”I return to the scene of a crime exactly one year after the crime was committed,” Splif explains. “I take one photograph and then leave as though I had never been there. My work examines memory, pain, and just how good a job has been done by the cleaners.”
