Police discovered messy side rooms strewn with rubbish at the Legacy funeral home in Hull.

Boxes of tissues sit on a coffee table in a front room at Legacy Independent Funeral Directors. There are opulent chairs, upholstered in pale yellow; a black and white print of a trawler that nods to Hull's fishing heritage. It feels like an attempt to put customers at ease, painting the picture of a caring, community-led business. But on the other side of a partition wall - an area Legacy's director Robert Bush ordered an employee to keep hidden from others in the industry - is a labyrinth of dimly-lit corridors. A police officer shines her torch into messy side rooms, strewn with rubbish and in total disorder. Ashes, bagged up by police, were found at Legacy Independent Funeral Directors in Hull Some 35 bodies and more than 100 sets of ashes were found by police when the business was raided in March 2024. During his arrest, Bush accused Humberside Police of treating him like the Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara and attempted to downplay his crimes. He questioned why he had been held at gunpoint, claiming the way he had been treated "feels vindictive" and he was not a "complicated" character.
