Criminal hanged, up in squalid place
I believe the answer is:
dung-heap
'squalid place' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'criminal hanged up' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hanged'+'up'='hangedup'
'hangedup' is an anagram of 'DUNG-HEAP'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dung-heap that I've seen is " A foul place".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
