News of the Times: Recent Episodes
Robin Coles
News of the Times was derived through my fascination with news articles from as early as the 1790’s through Victorian Times and beyond. Newspapers supplied the social media of their day and are a fascinating insight into the lives, trends, and world of the everyday person. Through actual news articles of our past, I review the social media stories of their day touching upon the lives, trends and world of the every day person. In this channel, stories are collated from a wide variety of sources and gathered into spans of 3 years at a time from actual newspapers and periodicals. New podcast episodes will be uploaded every Tuesday. This is News of the Times.
In October 1892, a young woman arrived quietly at a respectable house in Putney.
Within four days she was dead.
The death certificate appeared entirely straightforward — embolism, thrombosis, and chronic kidney disease. Natural causes. The body was buried, and the matter might easily have ended there.
But suspicion soon began to grow.
Within weeks the Home Secretary ordered the grave to be opened, and what Victorian forensic surgeons discovered during the post-mortem revealed that the medical certificate had told a very different story.
A doctor and his wife were arrested.
An undertaker was accused of helping conceal the truth.
And the man believed to have carried out the fatal operation — Dr Richard Freeman — had already vanished.
The newspapers soon gave the case a name:
The Putney Mystery.
Tonight we explore the strange death of Ellen Matilda Franklin — the hurried burial, the evidence hidden inside the coffin, and the sensational Old Bailey trial that followed when Victorian forensic science began to expose what had really happened in a quiet house in Chelverton Road.
Today we travel to Cambridge in the summer of 1871, where a young labourer collapsed after his morning meal and died within hours.
The symptoms pointed unmistakably to poison.
The chemistry insisted there was none.
And between the two, a newly married wife found herself facing the full weight of public suspicion.
This is the story of Henry Day — a sudden death that baffled doctors, divided neighbours, and revealed just how uncertain early forensic science could be.
A case of meat pudding, mixed evidence, and a courtroom struggling to make sense of answers that simply refused to align.

Settle in — Cambridge awaits.
Tonight we travel to Brighton in the summer of 1866, where the sudden illness of a newly married woman set in motion one of the most troubling Victorian inquests of the decade.
Ellen Warder’s decline was abrupt, her symptoms baffling, and every doctor who attended her agreed on one unsettling point: nothing about her illness could be explained by natural causes.
But it was only when investigators began looking more closely at her husband’s past that the real unease began. For Ellen was not his first wife to die suddenly. Nor his second.
As the evidence gathered pace — and as the era’s leading toxicologist was called to examine her organs — the case widened into a far darker question:
How many tragic “misfortunes” can surround a single man before coincidence becomes impossible?

Settle in, and let’s step back to Brighton, 1866.
A quiet Surrey hotel. A routine morning remedy. And within minutes, a respected publican is dead on the floor in violent convulsions. When the doctor arrives, nothing makes sense: the salts taste bitter, the bottle has been mysteriously rinsed clean, and strange white crystals are scattered across the bar parlour.
This is the Byfleet Poisoning of 1924 — a case that led detectives from a village inn to a French chemist’s shop, a Biarritz hotel, and finally to one of the most dramatic murder trials of the decade. Was Alfred Jones the victim of accident, jealousy, desperation… or a calculated plan carried out under his own roof?
Tonight we follow the forensic trail, the conflicting testimonies, and the sudden appearance of a charming stranger whose arrival in England would change everything.

A quiet summer evening in 1919.
A country lane in Leicestershire.
A young woman found beside her bicycle… and a mystery that would grip Britain for the next year.
In this episode, we unravel the Green Bicycle Mystery — a case that began as a presumed cycling accident but quickly deepened into one of the most perplexing investigations of the early 20th century. A bullet overlooked for nearly a day, a vanished cyclist on a distinctive green B.S.A., and a courtroom battle led by the formidable Sir Edward Marshall Hall all combine to create one of the era’s most enduring puzzles.
Join us as we follow the investigation step by step: the forensic misjudgements, the conflicting witness accounts, the disappearance and dramatic recovery of the bicycle, and the question that still divides historians more than a century later — what truly happened on that quiet Leicestershire lane?

Settle in.
The lane is quiet, the evidence is troubling, and the mystery remains unsolved.
A young woman found beside her bicycle in 1919, a missing cyclist on a green B.S.A., and a bullet no one noticed for nearly a day — we unravel one of Britain’s most perplexing early forensic mysteries.
Today, we travel to Paris in the spring of 1887, where an elegant apartment off the Rue Montaigne became the centre of one of the most sensational investigations of the Belle Époque.
A courtesan of considerable means, her trusted housekeeper, and a twelve-year-old girl were found murdered behind locked doors — no struggle, no intruder seen, and only the faintest collection of clues left behind.
What followed was a case that gripped Europe: a chase across France, a courtroom overflowing with spectators, and a man whose shifting identity and charm made him both captivating and deeply suspect.
This is the story of Henri Pranzini, and the triple murder that shocked Paris to its foundations.
And in our Further Particulars, we lighten the mood just a little with a gastronomic scandal from the Boulevard Haussmann, involving a pâté, an unexpected pigeon, and a delicatessen owner whose confidence exceeded his culinary accuracy.

Today we travel back to Boston in 1849, to one of the most unsettling disappearances of the Victorian age.
Dr George Parkman — a man known for his precision, his routine, and his unshakeable punctuality — leaves home one afternoon and never returns. The last place he was seen? The quiet, red-brick halls of Harvard Medical College.
What follows is a mystery that gripped Boston, unsettled Harvard, and pushed the courts into the earliest days of forensic science. Locked rooms, burning furnaces, shifting statements, and a breakthrough that would change criminal investigation forever.
Settle in as we explore the disappearance — and the murder — that became known as the Harvard Mystery.
And for listeners who enjoy diving deeper into Victorian true crime, we also have an archive of more than 500 ad-free episodes, exclusive series, and early releases over on Patreon.
Now — let’s step into 1849.
n 1844, the quiet town of Crewe was shaken by a crime that startled even seasoned Victorian magistrates. When Richard Gallop fell suddenly and violently ill, suspicion soon turned to the person closest to him: his young daughter, Mary.
What began as a family dispute over a forbidden romance spiralled into one of the era’s most unsettling arsenic cases. Drawing entirely from surviving inquest testimony, courtroom reporting, and contemporary medical evidence, this episode traces the final days of Richard Gallop, the repeated poison purchases, and the investigation that revealed a carefully executed plan inside an ordinary household.
We also close with a remarkable Further Particulars tale from Northumberland — involving two burglars, a fearless servant girl, an elderly woman armed with a scythe, and the sort of Victorian resourcefulness that belongs in a novel rather than a police report.

London, October 1880.
A quiet walk in Finsbury Park ends in horror when three gunshots echo across the lake and a young woman collapses to her knees. Her name was Jane Messenger, twenty-nine years old, respectably dressed, navigating a troubled marriage and an increasingly fraught entanglement with her brother-in-law, William Herbert.
What followed was one of the Victorian era’s most startling public murders — a broad-daylight shooting witnessed by families, park-goers, and off-duty officers. In this episode, we trace the tangled domestic history behind the crime, Herbert’s delusional hopes of an Australian inheritance, and the months of emotional turmoil that led to a fatal confrontation on a cold October afternoon.
We explore the police response, the medical findings, the inquest before Dr Hardwicke, and Herbert’s chilling admissions that revealed his intentions long before he walked Jane into the park. The case would grip London, dominate the papers, and end at Newgate with a crowd waiting for the black flag.
And in Further Particulars, we lighten the mood with the story of a gentleman who believed the most effective way to critique the House of Lords was to break a window and demand a publishing contract. As one does.
If you enjoy archival Victorian true crime, forensic history, and carefully reconstructed storytelling, this episode brings together jealousy, delusion, and the darker side of respectability in 1880s London.

In the spring of 1881, a quiet butcher’s shop in Slough became the centre of one of Victorian England’s most baffling crimes. Mrs Reville, the butcher’s wife, was found murdered in her own back room — no struggle, no witness, and barely a minute in which her killer could have acted.
The shop layout offered no hidden corners. The doors were visible from her desk. Anyone entering would have been immediately seen. And yet, within this impossibly narrow window of time, an assailant struck four blows, removed the money from her pocket, and vanished without leaving a trace.
Suspicion soon fell on the young apprentice, Augustus Payne, whose movements, handwriting, and prior disputes raised troubling questions… but whose innocence the jury ultimately upheld.
Tonight, we walk through the original testimony, the strange timings, the “H. Collins” letter, and the unanswered questions that left Victorian investigators — and later generations — utterly at a loss.
A quiet evening. A familiar shop. An impossible crime.
And still, after more than a century, no one can say how it was done.
In our Further Particulars: a lighter tale from 1881 involving missing cabbages, a suspiciously woolly sheep-dog, and a gardener whose evening surveillance took a most unexpected turn.

A young wife collapses in agony inside her Warminster cottage, and within minutes she is gone. Arsenic in the house, strychnine in the chemist’s shop, and whispers of fear and family tension stirred a scandal that gripped Victorian England. In this episode, we follow the final hours of Elizabeth Pearce, a 25-year-old newlywed whose sudden death in 1886 set off one of the era’s most troubling poisoning investigations.
With conflicting witness accounts, uncertain forensic evidence, and a household divided by suspicion, the question remains:
Was this a deliberate poisoning, a tragic accident, or a catastrophic failure of Victorian justice?
Join us as we trace the case from Elizabeth’s last meal to the inquest room, examining the powders, testimonies, and courtroom drama that still raise questions nearly a century and a half later.

The spring of 1911 brought one of Britain’s most disturbing domestic mysteries into the ancient walls of Lancaster Castle. Three members of the Bingham family died suddenly, each showing the same violent gastric symptoms. As whispers of arsenic poisoning spread, suspicion fell upon the last surviving daughter, Edith Agnes Bingham — a quiet woman already viewed by neighbours as “simple” and vulnerable.
In this episode, we return to the original Edwardian newspaper reports to follow the case exactly as it unfolded: the baffling medical testimony, the exhumations at dawn, and the courtroom drama that gripped the country. Was this truly a triple poisoning, or a tragic sequence of illnesses misinterpreted by early forensic science?
We also look at what became of Edith after the verdict — a fate far quieter, and far sadder, than the headlines suggested.
Plus: today’s Further Particulars brings a musical disturbance from Leamington Spa, where The Blue Danube echoed through a street in the middle of the night… despite no one owning a piano.

A quiet Sunday in the Liverpool suburbs took a shocking turn in 1882 when a young maid, Mary Cremen, was found shot in the scullery of a respectable Crosby home. Her employer, Arthur Golding, immediately presented himself at the police station, insisting the death was a tragic accident. But as investigators examined the revolver, questioned the household, and uncovered a tangle of jealousies and clandestine relationships, the tidy façade of middle-class respectability began to crumble.
Was this truly a mishap with a six-shooter? Or was someone in the Golding household hiding far more than they revealed?
In this episode, we explore the forensic puzzle that troubled Victorian investigators, the shifting testimonies, and the domestic tensions that set the stage for one of Crosby’s most perplexing inquests.
And in this week’s Further Particulars, we turn to an extraordinary 1880s insurance tale involving a widow, a policy form, and a husband who managed to exit the world before completing the paperwork.

Step back into Victorian Wales, where quiet lanes and morning mist concealed one of the era’s most disturbing disappearances. In 1874, Susan Gibbs — a hardworking Cardiff housekeeper — travelled to St Mellons to meet her young husband, James, a butler with ambition and secrets to protect. Three weeks later, her body was discovered beneath a tangle of briars, so hidden and decomposed that even the cause of death was uncertain.
What followed was a landmark investigation built not on forensics, but on behaviour: unanswered letters, midnight movements, missing belongings, and a chain of lies that revealed far more than any single piece of evidence.
Tonight we explore the life Susan hoped for, the double life James was living, and the extraordinary inquiry that led to one of Wales’s most chilling convictions. And in our Further Particulars, we lighten the gaslamps for a brief detour into Victorian chaos—this time involving a hotel, a missing parrot, and entirely too much commotion in Bath.

In the winter of 1879, the quiet Somerset parish of Knowle St Giles was shaken by a death that seemed, at first glance, to be nothing more than a tragic household accident. Eighty-three-year-old Samuel Churchill was found burned beside his hearth, his wife insisting he had fallen into the fire during a fit.
But the scene told a different story.
There was blood on the walls.
Defensive wounds on Samuel’s hand.
A bill-hook hidden beneath a chair.
And the very morning he died, Samuel had dressed in his best clothes to change his will.
In this episode, we trace the investigation from the first suspicious observations to the Taunton trial that followed. Using contemporary newspaper accounts and inquest testimony, we explore the forensic limitations of the 1870s, the conflicting statements that defined the case, and the chilling question at the heart of it all:
Was this truly an accident—or a murder carefully staged by fire?

In 1927 County Durham, a miner calmly declared that his wife had taken her own life.
But from the moment police stepped inside the cramped kitchen of 2 Lumsden Buildings, nothing about his story made sense.
A rope that didn’t fit.
A noose too small to pass over the victim’s head.
A bed he claimed to have slept in—yet had never been touched.
And the quiet, devastating testimony of a child who heard far more than any child ever should.
This episode unravels the forensic evidence, contradictions, and courtroom drama that ultimately exposed the truth behind Ada Dunn’s death. Drawing entirely from period newspaper coverage, we reconstruct how investigators dismantled Thomas Dunn’s account piece by piece—culminating in one of the era’s most striking murder trials.
In Further Particulars, we travel far from County Durham to 1959 Papua New Guinea, where a remarkably sensible priest documented one of the most politely perplexing UFO encounters ever recorded.
If you enjoy historically grounded true crime with strong investigative detail, this is an especially gripping case.

The Meader Case (1922) is one of those rare British true-crime stories where everything feels uncertain: a troubled marriage, a blind ex-soldier, a fatal struggle behind a closed door — and a courtroom battle led by the legendary Sir Edward Marshall Hall.
Was Mabel Meader the victim of murder?A tragic accident?
Or did early 20th-century medical science misunderstand a death that hinged on a single, extraordinary detail?
In this episode, we explore:• The Meaders’ strained post-war marriage• Alfred Meader’s blindness, trauma, and desperate decisions• A dramatic suicide attempt that exposed a far deeper tragedy
• The inquest that shocked the public• Medical testimony that changed the course of the trial• And the Old Bailey verdict that continues to raise questions today
This is a story of post-WWI Britain: shifting gender roles, silent trauma, legal assumptions, and a nation still learning how to understand domestic tragedies.

In 1829, English law allowed for a remarkable—and troubling—possibility: a person could be condemned for murder even when the victim survived.
This week we explore the case later known as The One-Penny Wife, a story in which domestic hardship, early forensic science, and a deeply unusual legal statute entwined to produce one of the strangest verdicts of the late Georgian era.
Mary Jardine lived on a starvation allowance of a single penny a day. When she collapsed after drinking her morning tea, her symptoms were unmistakable. Proving arsenic poisoning, however, was far from straightforward. Investigators had only the earliest forms of the stomach pump, inconsistent chemical tests, and a medical profession still decades away from reliable toxicology.
The result is a case that sits at the uneasy intersection of intent, law, survival, and the limits of early forensic practice—a case in which the courts treated an attempted poisoning as if it were wilful murder.
In Further Particulars, we leave the dangers of arsenic behind for a very different peril of Victorian life: a breach-of-promise scandal that shows how even a broken engagement could spiral into a courtroom drama.

A quiet Victorian street. Three sudden deaths. One woman at the centre of them all.
In the spring of 1886, Turner Lane in Ashton-under-Lyne was the sort of place where neighbours knew everything — or believed they did. But when a daughter, a husband, and finally a well-liked young wife died in violent, agonising circumstances, the small community began to sense a pattern too troubling to ignore.
Their suspicions would spark one of the most striking poisoning cases of the Victorian age.
In this episode, we follow the chain of events that haunted the neighbourhood:• the mysterious “mouse powder,”• the late-night spasms and clenched hands,• the uneasy intimacy between households,• the neighbours who noticed what the doctors missed,• and the forensic discovery that dragged the entire affair into the courts.
Was this a tragic series of coincidences — or a deliberate dismantling of every obstacle in one woman’s path?
We also travel to 1887 Croydon in Further Particulars, where runaway horses, broken reins, and unrepeatable language in a country pub raise the eternal question: have youths improved at all? (Spoiler: absolutely not.)

On a cold November night in 1930, a small saloon car was found blazing on a quiet Northamptonshire lane. Inside lay the charred body of a man, burned beyond recognition. But when police traced the registration number, the supposed victim walked into a London police station — very much alive.
So began one of the most extraordinary investigations of the early 20th century.
Tonight, we follow the case of Alfred Rouse, the travelling salesman with a tangled private life, mounting financial pressures, and a so-called “harem” of women who believed themselves promised marriage. As detectives pieced together witness accounts, petrol traces, and forensic testimony from Sir Bernard Spilsbury himself, a grim picture emerged — one that shocked the nation.
But at the heart of the story lies a question that has haunted true-crime historians ever since:
Who was the man in the car?

In March 1872, a quiet domestic tragedy in Boston, Lincolnshire became one of the most consequential moments in British criminal justice. When William Horry shot his estranged wife, Jane, the case was tragic enough — but what followed would transform the future of capital punishment in Britain.
This episode explores how Horry’s crime became the first test of William Marwood’s new “long drop” method, a calculated attempt to make executions swift, scientific, and far less agonising than the old short-drop approach. It was a turning point that reshaped British practice for more than a century.
We trace:
• the collapse of William and Jane’s marriage and the jealousies that spiralled out of control
• the inquest, trial, and evidence that left the jury with little doubt
• Marwood’s debut on the gallows — and why officials were desperate for change
• how a private tragedy became a national moment of reform
• and the Victorian press reaction that helped cement this case in history
Our Further Particulars this week takes us to Cambridge, where a particularly delicate publican refuses to serve lady cyclists in “rational dress” — proving that in 1898, nothing caused moral panic faster than women in trousers.
Settle in for a story where domestic heartbreak meets legal transformation, and where a single moment on the scaffold marked the beginning of Britain’s modern execution era.
A landmark case that reshaped Victorian justice
In the spring of 1868, Britain crossed a threshold it could never uncross. For centuries, executions had been public events — spectacles that drew tens of thousands, shaped moral debates, and filled the columns of Victorian newspapers. But with the passing of the Capital Punishment Amendment Act, everything changed. For the first time, a condemned prisoner would die behind the closed gates of a prison, witnessed only by officials.
The case that carried Britain into this new era began not in London or a notorious criminal underworld, but at Dover Priory Station, where an unsettled young railway worker would commit a murder that shocked the country.
When 18-year-old carriage cleaner Thomas Wells shot his stationmaster, Edward Adolphus Walshe, the crime seemed at first merely tragic. But the circumstances were so stark, the evidence so immediate, and the public sentiment so charged that the case quickly became the test through which the new law would be judged.
This episode follows the story step by step: Wells’s growing resentment, the tense confrontation in the cramped station office, and the moments leading to a single violent act that ended a respected man’s life. We explore the swift investigation that followed, the testimony from railway workers and townspeople, the courtroom atmosphere thick with expectation, and the public’s uneasy fascination with the new manner in which justice was to be carried out.
As Wells faced the gallows inside Maidstone Gaol, the nation confronted something larger than the crime itself:
What does justice look like when removed from the public gaze?
Is a hidden execution more humane — or simply more palatable?
And what does it mean when the first man to be hanged privately is barely out of boyhood?
⭐ This episode includes:
• A railway dispute that spiralled into an unprecedented murder case
• A remarkably airtight chain of evidence from witnesses at the station
• Wells’s unsettling calmness — and how Victorians interpreted it
• How the press framed Britain’s first private execution
• What officials behind the prison walls actually saw
• And in Further Particulars: a Norfolk ferret incident so chaotic and so darkly comic that even Dickens would have raised an eyebrow
Through archival detail, atmospheric reconstruction, and careful historical context, we trace how one violent moment on a railway platform reshaped the entire future of British executions.
This is more than a true crime story — it is the moment Victorian Britain stepped into a new age of justice, reluctantly, awkwardly, and under the shadow of a single gunshot at Dover Priory.
Settle in for a vivid journey into a pivotal turning point in British legal history.
In 1845, Britain witnessed a murder investigation unlike anything seen before.
When Sarah Hart died suddenly in the quiet village of Salt Hill, suspicion fell upon a seemingly respectable Quaker gentleman, John Tawell. What followed became the first manhunt in history conducted through the electric telegraph, racing ahead of a fleeing suspect along the Great Western Railway line.
In this episode, we explore the extraordinary case that blended poison, secrecy, telegraph wires, and Victorian morality, uncovering how a single message sent from Slough changed the future of policing.
You’ll hear about:
• The hidden life behind Tawell’s quiet exterior• Prussic acid and the Victorian obsession with poisons• How the telegraph outpaced a murderer for the first time• The dramatic arrest in a London coffee house• A sensational trial that gripped the nation• Tawell’s final confession — and the truth it revealed
And in Further Particulars, we close with a chaotic vignette from the 1880s involving a German labourer, a lover’s quarrel, and an improvised breakfast melee.

London, 1829.
A city of industry, elegance, poverty, and hidden brutality.
In this episode, we uncover the shocking case of Frances Colpit, a ten-year-old parish apprentice sent to learn tambour embroidery — and instead drawn into a household where overwork, starvation, and violence were woven into everyday life. When the child’s suffering finally came to light, the courts uncovered a pattern of cruelty that stunned the nation.
At the centre of the scandal stood Esther Hibner, whose trial at the Old Bailey revealed not only the tragic fate of Frances, but the wider exploitation of impoverished children across early-19th-century London. Her conviction led to one of the most discussed executions of the decade — and marked William Calcraft’s first execution of a woman, a moment that would shape the reputation of Britain’s most notorious hangman.
Using contemporary court testimony, medical reports, and Victorian press accounts, we explore:
• the hidden world of parish apprenticeships• the booming demand for tambour embroidery and the children who powered it• the conditions uncovered at Platt Terrace• the forensic evidence presented at trial• the public response to Hibner’s execution• and the lingering questions the case forced Victorian Britain to confront
This is a story of poverty, exploitation, legal theatre, and the beginning of a national reckoning with child protection.

In 1868, a cramped labourer’s cottage in the village of Stickney, Lincolnshire became the centre of one of Victorian Britain’s most dramatic murder cases. When farm labourer Richard Biggadike suddenly fell violently ill after tea and shortcake prepared by his wife Priscilla, suspicion spread through the community with astonishing speed. What followed was a tangle of marital resentment, rumours of impropriety, forensic certainty — and a legal outcome that made national history.
This episode explores the poisoned marriage of Richard and Priscilla Biggadike, the presence of arsenic in overwhelming quantities, and the inquest that relied heavily on the findings of leading forensic toxicologist Dr Alfred Swaine Taylor. His analysis, combined with Priscilla’s own contradictory statements, led to one of the most significant executions of the century: the first private execution carried out in the city of Lincoln, following Britain’s newly passed legislation ending public hangings.
Along the way, we examine Victorian forensic science, rural domestic life, legal practice, and the intense social pressures inside a one-room household shared by a husband, wife, three children, and two lodgers. Was the verdict secure? Was justice served? And how did this case shape the early years of private execution in Britain?
Further Particulars:
We also travel to County Mayo for a remarkable 1867 discovery — a forgotten subterranean chamber, bricked up for nearly a century, containing two mysterious skeletons dressed in the fashions of George II. A true Victorian gothic moment that captured the imagination of readers across the UK.

The Parcel of Death: How a Handwriting Clue Solved a Victorian Murder (1873)
Horfield, near Bristol, 1873 — a small parcel arrives at a cottage, addressed in a neat feminine hand. Inside: a polite note, a shilling’s worth of stamps, and three teething powders marked Steedman’s. Within minutes of taking one, a healthy ten-month-old child is dead.
What followed became one of Victorian Britain’s most unsettling murder investigations: a case of postal deception, disputed toxicology, forged identities, and a deadly plan undone by the smallest of human details — the choice of stationery, a familiar turn of phrase, and a handwriting expert who spotted what others had missed.
This is the story of how an ordinary envelope unravelled the lives of a Bristol shoemaker and the woman who aided him, ending in one of the last double executions in British history.

The Clerkenwell Explosion: The Outrage That Shocked Victorian Britain (1867)
A quiet December afternoon in 1867 — and then a blast so powerful it shattered windows for half a mile, reduced homes to rubble, and sent shockwaves through Victorian London. What unfolded at Clerkenwell was far more than an attempted prison rescue. It became one of the most notorious tragedies of the era, triggering public panic, political fury, and the final public execution in British history.
In today’s episode, we explore:
• What really happened outside Clerkenwell Prison
• How a rescue attempt by Fenians spiralled into catastrophe
• Why the investigation became frantic, emotional — and deeply flawed
• The trial of Michael Barrett, and the lingering question: was the right man convicted?
We trace the explosion, the crowded neighbourhood it destroyed, the conflicting witness accounts, and the extraordinary political pressure that shaped the outcome.
And in Further Particulars, we leap back to 1814 for the unforgettable tale of a woman who somehow accumulated three husbands simultaneously, leaving a magistrate — and all three gentlemen — thoroughly bewildered.

Symptoms point to poison — but toxicology finds nothing at all.In today’s episode, we uncover one of the most unsettling cases in early forensic history — the story of Dr Edmé Castaing and the Ballet brothers, a case that forced Europe to confront a chilling truth:👉 Science, in 1823, was simply not good enough to catch a clever poisoner.Before the era of Marsh tests, Reinsch tests, Victorian toxicologists, and forensic certainty, courts still had to reach verdicts — even when chemistry returned empty-handed. This case became the first major crisis in forensic toxicology, shaping British and French legal thinking for decades.🔍 In this episode we explore:• How two sudden deaths exposed the limits of Georgian forensic science• The rise of arsenic panic across Britain• Why morphine (“morphia”) terrified early toxicologists• The puzzle of a will, missing money, late-night letters, and locked rooms• Orfila’s cautious testimony — and why it shocked British experts• How a man was executed for poisoning with no poison ever found• The legal turning point: Can you convict on circumstances alone?And in Further Particulars, we detour to 1888 for a marvellously absurd tale from the American West — as reported in an East Kent newspaper — featuring:a Pullman carriage, a polite stranger, and a horse thief whose reputation travelled rather farther than he did.🔬Hosted by Robin Coles📅 New episodes: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 🎞️ Long-form historical crime compilations: Final Sunday of every month 📚 Related cases from the archive: 1824: Murder by Exorcism | EP443 https://www.patreon.com/posts/shocking-1824-120965771?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 1828: Deadly Betrayal: The 1828 Mother’s Assassination Conspiracy | EP457 https://www.patreon.com/posts/deadly-betrayal-123227277?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 1827: Sisters, Poison, and Betrayal: The Forfar Murder Case of 1827 | EP540 https://www.patreon.com/posts/sisters-poison-136840522?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link ❤️ Support Independent History If you enjoy our ad-free, archive-based storytelling, help us keep the lantern lit: 👉 Patreon – Full archive, early access, bonus compilations (and it keeps us independent): https://www.patreon.com/NewsOfTheTimesHistoricalCrime ☕ Prefer a one-off thank-you?

The Office Murder That Shocked Edwardian Britain — And the Detective Who Died Investigating It | True Crime 1911News of the Times | Episode 602 | 1911On a quiet September afternoon in 1911, a respected Hastings building society manager sat down to continue his paperwork. Minutes later, gunshots echoed through the office — and one of the town’s most trusted citizens lay dying on the floor. What followed was one of the most baffling cases in Edwardian true crime history: a double tragedy involving financial ruin, contested testimony, early forensic science… and a detective who died while examining the very same revolver used in the killing. Today we uncover a murder that refused to resolve itself, leaving behind shocked witnesses, contradictory accounts, and a police force shaken by the sudden death of their own investigator.• The shooting inside a quiet Hastings office that stunned 1911 Britain• The troubled chemist whose life collapsed under financial strain and hereditary mental illness• Conflicting witness accounts and forensic evidence that transformed the case• The inquest that wrestled with accident vs. intent• The extraordinary twist: the detective found dead while preparing evidence• How uncertainty, stigma, and early-20th-century justice shaped the verdict📰 Further ParticularsWe finish with a remarkable Edwardian society lawsuit involving Lady Dean Paul — a woman for whom the courtroom was practically a hobby. Expect family quarrels, Cairo gossip, theatrical denials, and a damages award so small the judge had to squint at it.🔎Hosted by Robin Coles📅 New episodes: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 🎞️ Long-form historical crime compilations: Final Sunday of every month 📚 Related cases from the archive: 1911: The Kidsgrove Tragedy: Murder, Madness, and the Man Who Vanished Into Himself” | EP582 https://www.patreon.com/posts/kidsgrove-murder-144289983?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1875 - 1911: The Poison Files: Britain's Most Chilling Victorian Murder Cases | EP583 https://www.patreon.com/posts/poison-files-144027249?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1911: Two Killers, One Scaffold: The December Double Hanging of 1911 | EP589 https://www.patreon.com/posts/two-killers-one-145441104?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1918: Stalked by Her Brother-in-Law: The Christmas Murder That Shook Post-War Britain | 1918 | EP595https://www.patreon.com/posts/stalked-by-her-146402625?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link❤️ Support Independent History If you enjoy our ad-free, archive-based storytelling, help us keep the lantern lit: 👉 Patreon – Full archive, early access, bonus compilations (and it keeps us independent): https://www.patreon.com/NewsOfTheTimesHistoricalCrime ☕ Prefer a one-off thank-you?

What happens when privilege, violence, and the full weight of Georgian justice collide?In today’s episode, we uncover one of the most extraordinary moments in British criminal history: the 1760 execution of Laurence, Earl Ferrers — the last aristocrat ever hanged at TyburnThis astonishing case has everything that captivates lovers of historical true crime:• a nobleman whose violent temper shook his household,• a murder that shocked Georgian society,• a sensational trial before the House of Lords, and• the rare spectacle of a peer of the realm facing the gallows alongside common felons.We follow Ferrers from the oak-panelled rooms of his Leicestershire estate to the packed streets of London, where thousands gathered to witness a moment the country had never seen before — and would never see again. His downfall reveals the tensions of class, power, madness, and justice in 18th-century Britain.And to finish, we lighten the mood with a rollicking trip to Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, 1894 — where Victorian democracy meets spirited heckling and public oratory at its most colourful.If you enjoy:• Georgian & Victorian true crime• forensic and legal history• executions at Tyburn• scandals among Britain’s elite• stories where society’s “untouchable” finally meets the law……this is an episode we think you'll like.👤 Narrated by Robin Coles 📅 New episodes: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 🎞️ Long-form historical crime compilations: Final Sunday of every month 📚 Related cases from the archive: 1718 - 1767: Remarkable executions | EP388https://www.patreon.com/posts/remarkable-1718-113160724?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 1729 & 1768: The Dark Side of Aristocracy in 1700's | Ep290https://www.patreon.com/posts/dark-side-of-in-112156703?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1761: Terrible Theodore Gardelle | Ep208 https://www.patreon.com/posts/terrible-artist-116300250?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link❤️ Support Independent History If you enjoy our ad-free, archive-based storytelling, help us keep the lantern lit: 👉 Patreon – Full archive, early access, bonus compilations (and it keeps us independent): https://www.patreon.com/NewsOfTheTimesHistoricalCrime ☕ Prefer a one-off thank-you?

Catherine Wilson: Britain’s Female Borgia — The Last Woman Publicly Hanged in LondonNews of the Times | Episode 600 | 1862A quiet lodger. A trail of unexplained deaths. And the last woman ever publicly hanged in London.In this episode, we investigate Catherine Wilson — the Victorian poisoner newspapers called “Britain’s Female Borgia.” Her story begins with a near-fatal “soothing draught” in a Kennington sickroom and unfolds into one of the most disturbing murder investigations of the 19th century.What seemed at first like a single attempted poisoning soon revealed a far darker truth. As police traced Wilson’s movements through London and Lincolnshire, they uncovered a pattern of sudden illnesses, vanished savings, altered wills, and victims who died in unmistakable agony.And behind each death stood the same gentle, soft-spoken woman.Join us as we explore:🕯️ The failed poisoning that finally exposed her🕯️ The lodging-house world of mid-century Britain — where killers could hide in plain sight🕯️ The suspicious deaths of Mrs Jackson, Peter Mawer, James Dixon, Mrs Soames, Mrs Atkinson, and others🕯️ The Victorian forensic limits that allowed her to evade justice for years🕯️ The Old Bailey trial that shocked the public🕯️ And the execution at Newgate that ended an era of female public hangingsAtmospheric, unsettling, and drawn entirely from the historical record, this is the chilling true story of a woman who moved unnoticed through the sickrooms of Victorian England — leaving devastation in her wake.✨ Further Particulars — A New Year’s Collection of Curious ProverbsTo open 2026 on a suitably elevated note, this week’s Further Particulars turns to that most scholarly of Victorian institutions… The Illustrated Police News.We’ve gathered a handful of wonderfully odd foreign proverbs from 1890 — sayings that range from the poetic to the practical to the frankly unhinged.Expect buffaloes, bears, burnt children, and at least one pig with questionable table manners.A light New Year’s reminder that across time and continents, human wisdom has always been a very mixed bag.👤 Narrated by Robin Coles

A wheelbarrow… a body… and a husband insisting it had all been a terrible accident. But as investigators examined the quarry, the path to Mortimer’s Cross, and William Haywood’s shifting story, a far darker truth emerged.This is The Wheelbarrow Murder — the brutal killing of Jane Haywood, the sensational trial that followed, and the historic execution that marked the end of an era in British justice.A story of poverty, exhaustion, domestic tension, forensic evidence, and a community forced to confront the thin line between accident and intention.We explore:🔸 Quarry life and the harsh world of rural labourers in 1903🔸 The discovery of Jane Haywood’s injuries — and why the “accident” story never held🔸 Witness testimony that unravelled the defence🔸 The inquest, the shocking medical findings, and the national press response🔸 The Hereford Assizes, the judge’s reasoning, and the final death sentence🔸 The last execution ever carried out at Hereford GaolFurther ParticularsBecause Victorian Britain could make even a funeral dangerous. Tonight’s final tale involves a coffin, a narrow pathway, six bearers, and one very unfortunate bystander — proving once again that the 19th century was not for the faint of heart.👤 Narrated by Robin Coles 📅 New episodes: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 🎞️ Long-form historical crime compilations: Final Sunday of every month 📚 Related cases from the archive: 1902: Scotland Yard Casebook: Jealousy on Judd Street - crime of passion | Kitty Byron | Ep545 https://www.patreon.com/posts/jealousy-on-judd-141707777?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1903: The Scampston Murder | The Riverbank Crime That Shocked Edwardian England (1903) | EP568 https://www.patreon.com/posts/scampston-murder-142037739?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1909: Too Drunk to Hang?

The Workhouse Path Murder — South Wales, 1902 | A Fatal December Evening
News of the Times | Episode 597 | 1902
Southeast Wales, 1902.
A woman runs bleeding down a narrow workhouse path, four children behind her screaming “Murder!” into the cold December air.
Moments earlier, she was walking with the man who had vowed she would never have another home.
Today we uncover one of the most chilling and deeply human domestic murder cases of Edwardian South Wales — a tragedy witnessed entirely by children, shaped by poverty, jealousy, alcohol, and the harsh realities of the workhouse system.
This episode explores:
• The world of the lodging houses and the Bedwellty Workhouse
• The final walk up the walled footpath
• Eyewitness testimony from neighbours and children
• Medical evidence and early forensic interpretation
• The attempted defence of delirium tremens
• The Edwardian court and the rapid machinery of justice
• The social pressures that gave rise to the crime
It is a case that shocked the valleys — not for mystery, but for its stark inevitability.
Join us as we retrace the final hours of Hannah Shea, and the violent jealousy that ended her life on a cold winter evening beneath the shadow of the workhouse.
🕯️ FURTHER PARTICULARS
Today’s end of episode lighter (and explosively cautionary) tale comes from Belfast, where a Christmas pudding met its untimely end via a tin of petrol mistaken for syrup.
The results? Flaming dessert, melted gas pipes, and a moral lesson for us all...

Stalked by Her Brother-in-Law: The Christmas Murder That Shook Post-War Britain | Liverpool, 1918
News of the Times | Episode 595 |1918
As Britain celebrated the end of the Great War, one young Liverpool widow was facing a danger far closer to home.
This week, we step into December 1918, a moment when church bells rang for peace, soldiers returned to broken households, and thousands of war widows tried to rebuild lives reshaped by loss.
But for Mary Ellen Rooney, a 32-year-old widow raising four children, the threat did not come from the battlefield —
it lived across the street.
After months of unwanted attention, jealousy, and open threats from her brother-in-law, Mary’s attempts to find safety ended in a Paddington corner shop on a cold November afternoon.
Witnesses would describe what happened next as sudden, furious, and chillingly deliberate.
Why did this case — shocking, public, and tragic — receive almost no press coverage at the time?
What can it tell us about post-war Britain, the pressures on returning soldiers, and the precarious position of the women left behind?
And how did one man’s fixation escalate into murder just weeks after the Armistice?
In tonight’s episode, we uncover:
The realities of life in 1918 Liverpool after the war
The hidden dangers faced by war widows
A deeply unsettling pattern of stalking and threats
A murder that played out in broad daylight
A trial that passed almost without notice
And an execution carried out one week before Christmas
For our Further Particulars, we turn to Widnes in 1881, where a revolver accident led to…
another revolver accident — a Victorian tragedy so bizarre it defies summary.

Murder on the Winter Road: A Christmas Killing in Ballinrobe | True Crime 1880
News of the Times | Episode 594 | 1880
A Christmas walk home… a dark boreen outside Ballinrobe… and two figures lying in wait.
Tonight we return to County Mayo, Ireland, 1880, for a chilling winter murder that stunned a rural community and left questions hanging over the snow-covered road for generations.
This is the story of Peter Mullen, a small farmer whose final journey took him through family quarrels, a mysterious sprinkling of holy water, and—according to his son—an ambush by two tall, clean-shaven men on a moonlit December night.
But who really knew he would pass that way?
And was this tragic killing a random act… or something far more calculated?
In this episode we explore:
• Life in Ballinrobe at Christmas, 1880
• Domestic tensions and a bitter marital quarrel
• Holy water, strange choices, and a wife in hiding
• A son’s account that raised more questions than it answered
• The midnight ambush on the frozen road
• Why the suspects—his wife and two nephews—were ultimately released
• How this case slipped quietly into the long history of unsolved Irish rural killings
As always, we draw from contemporary newspaper reports and inquest testimony to follow the story as people of the time understood it.
This episode includes material from:
And in today’s Further Particulars, we detour briefly to Derbyshire—where a Victorian vicar, a bread knife, and a very excitable evening led half the parish straight to the magistrates’ court.
Settle in with something warm and join us for The Christmas Road Murder: Ballinrobe, 1880—an atmospheric winter mystery where small choices, quiet tensions, and old grievances may have led a man straight into the line of fire.

THE WHITELEY MURDER (1907) — The Crime That Shook Edwardian Britain
News of the Times | Episode 593 | 1907
In January 1907, William Whiteley — London’s famous “Universal Provider” and the man who transformed British shopping — was shot dead inside his own department store.
The killer? A well-dressed young man who calmly announced he was Whiteley’s illegitimate son.
What followed was one of the most sensational murder trials of the Edwardian age: a story of hidden relationships, vast wealth, respectability, scandal, and a public so captivated that hundreds of thousands signed a petition to save the killer from the gallows.
In today’s episode, we uncover:
• The moment gunfire shattered Britain’s most modern store
• The extraordinary claim that turned a murder into a national reckoning
• A tangled family history of secrecy, money and legitimacy
• How the press shaped public outrage — and unexpected sympathy
• Why the Whiteley case still echoes through British legal and social history
Plus:
A remarkable Further Particulars story — when a runaway horse smashed through a Moorgate jeweller in 1922 and left London’s pavement literally covered in diamonds.

The Wardrobe Murder: The Grim Discovery in 1889 Bury
News of the Times | Episode 592| 1889
A missing businessman. A manager with too many stories. A wardrobe that no one was meant to open.
In 1889 Bury, Lancashire, a routine visit to a bustling Bolton Street furniture shop ended in one of the most shocking Victorian murder discoveries ever recorded. Behind drawn blinds, shifted furniture, and a locked cupboard with a missing key, police found a scene that stunned even seasoned detectives.
This is the true story of George Gordon, a respected young businessman who vanished after a mid-week meeting — and the extraordinary investigation that exposed deception, forged letters, a fake customer, suspicious errands, and a chilling attempt to conceal a body in plain sight.
From disturbed flagstones in a cellar to charred ledgers in a hearth, every clue pointed toward one man: shop manager William Dukes.
Tonight, we unspool the lies, the forensic twists, and the Victorian policework that led to the discovery that would dominate northern newspapers and remain one of the most disturbing cases in Bury’s history.
🕯 PLUS: Today’s Further Particulars
A New Jersey gaol, a hands-on ghost, and a haunting with far more initiative than anyone wanted…
If you enjoy atmospheric Victorian true crime blended with real archival reporting, this is one to settle in for.
Warm drink ready, lights a little low — and perhaps… keep wardrobes firmly shut.

The Christmas Execution No One Tried to Stop | True Crime 1898
News of the Times | Episode 591 | 1898
In today’s episode, we travel to Bugsworth, Derbyshire, where the brutal murder of Hannah Cotton shocked Victorian reporters… but what stunned them even more was this:
When her husband John Cotton was sentenced to hang — just four days before Christmas — no one asked for clemency.
No neighbours.
No friends.
No anti-capital-punishment campaigners.
Not even the canal community who had known him for decades.
Victorian newspapers called him “friendless,” a man whose violence had driven away every human tie long before the gallows claimed him. Tonight, we examine how a life shaped by hardship, jealousy, and cruelty ended with an execution that the public accepted without hesitation.
Along the way, we uncover:
• the shadowy world of Victorian canal-boat life
• allegations surrounding two previous wives
• the testimony of three schoolgirls who saw the murder
• why even at Christmastime, no voice rose to save him
• shifting attitudes toward capital punishment in 1890s Britain
And in a lighter Further Particulars: a wedding at St John’s, Hammersmith, collapses spectacularly when someone stands mid-ceremony to announce, “Stop! That man has a wife already!”

The Clergyman Who Hid His Wife’s Murder: The Shocking Case of Rev. Selby Watson | True Crime 1871
News of the Times | Episode 590 |1871
London 1871
A quiet Stockwell street.
A respected clergyman.
A locked room… and a truth no one wished to imagine.
In October 1871, Reverend John Selby Watson — scholar, headmaster, and a man thought incapable of violence — calmly told his servant that his wife had “gone out of town.” What followed was one of the most chilling domestic murders of the Victorian era: a brutal killing, a body hidden behind a library door, and a carefully written confession that raised as many questions as it answered.
Was this a momentary lapse?
A lifetime of strain erupting all at once?
Or a premeditated act disguised as madness?
Tonight, we walk through the investigation as it unfolded — from the servant’s first suspicions, to Dr Rugg’s devastating discovery, to the courtroom debate that divided Victorian London.
This is the case of a clergyman whose life unravelled in a single, terrible moment
And in today’s lighter end-of-episode Further Particular's tale:
Three cats, two furious ladies, and one judge who absolutely did not sign up for any of this.
A “Persian stud” turns out to be more “Camden wanderer,” and Victorian justice must decide which whiskers are genuine.

Two Killers, One Scaffold: The December Double Hanging of 1911
News of the Times | Episode 589 | 1911
On a cold December morning in 1911, the bell at Strangeways Gaol tolled across Manchester.
Inside, two very different men walked the same final corridor — strangers in life, now bound together by the narrow platform of a double scaffold. One was a jealous, violent husband; the other a quiet young labourer who claimed he never meant to kill. Their crimes were months apart, their tempers and histories worlds away — yet both met the same fate on a winter morning the city never forgot.
In today’s episode, we trace the paths that brought them there. From the cramped terraces of Royton and the busy mills of Manchester, to the quiet footpaths of Plumpton Wood, we follow the investigations, witness accounts, court proceedings, and newspaper reports that shaped two capital convictions. This is the story of Two Killers, One Scaffold: The December Double Hanging of 1911.
Manchester in 1911 was a city of contrasts — electric trams, cinemas and industry, but also long shifts, low pay, overcrowded homes and tempers stretched thin. Through these two tragedies we glimpse Edwardian life as it was lived by ordinary families: relentless labour, domestic pressures, and communities shocked by sudden violence.
And in today’s Further Particulars: a festive tale from New York in 1921, where the Christmas shopping rush produced not just queues but an entire court-room of shoplifters — ages sixteen to eighty-two — all caught in the season’s light-fingered spirit. .

The Ivy Inn Murder: A Single Wound and a Vanishing Killer | True Crime 1891
News of the Times | Episode 588 | 1891
A shocking Victorian crime in which a trusted 16-year-old servant was killed in broad daylight… and her killer vanished into the hills of Huddersfield. What followed was a frantic manhunt, a wrongful arrest, mass public hysteria, and finally, a confession overheard in a prison infirmary.
This episode unravels the full story — from the moment Catherine Dennis was found on the landing, to the dramatic return of the chief suspect James Stockwell, who evaded police for 17 days before creeping into his mother’s house at dawn. Did she give her son up to police? Yes, she did.
Based entirely on detailed period reporting and inquest testimony, this case reveals:
• The discovery of Catherine’s body at the Ivy Inn
• The suspected outrage committed upon her
• The tiny but deadly wound that puzzled doctors
• Two innocent strangers arrested amid public fury
• A missing local man whose behaviour grew increasingly suspicious
• The relentless police search through Linthwaite, Slaithwaite & Crosland Hill
• And the confession that finally sealed the case
This is one of Huddersfield’s most haunting Victorian tragedies — a story of fear, misjudgement, and a community shaken to its core.
And in today’s Further Particulars:
A second fugitive — entirely naked — hiding on a ship for more than a month after stabbing a crewman off the Cape of Good Hope. Victorian journalism truly never disappointed.
Settle in with a cup of tea as we return to Yorkshire in 1891, where quiet afternoons could turn extraordinary in an instant.

The Essex Poisoner: Mary May & the Five-Year Hunt for Britain’s Husband Killers
News of the Times | Episode 587 | 1848
One quiet Essex village. One determined woman. And a trail of death so shocking it forced Victorian police to investigate an entire county.
Today we uncover the chilling case of Mary May, the Essex wife whose actions in 1848 sparked Britain’s first major hunt for domestic poisoners. What began as a single suspicious death soon expanded into rumours of a murder ring, burial-club schemes, and a series of sudden “illnesses” that looked far too similar to be coincidence.
In this episode we explore:
🔸 The sudden death of Mary May’s half-brother — and why villagers accepted her explanation… until they didn’t.
🔸 How Victorian burial clubs created a deadly financial loophole.
🔸 The growing panic across Essex as husbands and children linked to Mary May or her close friends began dying in identical ways.
🔸 Professor Alfred Swaine Taylor — the era’s leading toxicologist — and the forensic breakthrough that exposed the truth.
🔸 Fears of a female “death club” operating across Tendring, Wix, Bradfield, and Ramsay.
🔸 The extraordinary five-year government investigation into suspected poisonings across the county.
Was Mary May a lone murderer?
A catalyst?
Or the central figure in a network of women using arsenic to rid themselves of inconvenient husbands?
Victorian Britain had never seen anything like it.
And in today’s Further Particulars, meet the fortune-teller who could predict everyone’s future except his own — including his arrest and three months’ hard labour.

The Sheffield Poisoning Case – The Artist, the Housekeeper and the Fatal Fowl (1881)
News of the Times | Episode 586 |1881
A quiet December dinner in Victorian Sheffield ends in horror — and a respected artist whispers his final words: “I am poisoned.”
In today’s investigation, we unravel the 1881 case of Thomas Skinner, a brilliant Sheffield craftsman and etcher whose sudden collapse after a simple meal of fowl and onion stuffing sparked one of the most controversial poisoning mysteries of the Victorian age.
At the centre of the storm stood his striking young housekeeper, Kate Dover — admired locally as “The Heeley Beauty” — whose purchases of arsenic, chloroform, and laudanum in the days before the tragedy drew the eyes of detectives, chemists, and an increasingly suspicious public.
Was she a fellow victim?
A naïve young woman caught in scandal?
Or did forensic science — still in its infancy — uncover the truth?
Join us as we explore:
• The Victorian forensic tests that revealed arsenic in the stuffing
• Conflicting medical testimony and the limits of 19th-century toxicology
• A missing packet of poison
• A mysterious £10 cheque found in the street
• Trial drama, a shocking verdict, and a courtroom collapse
• And the strange, quiet life Kate Dover lived after her release
This episode blends historical investigation, forensic analysis, and archival reporting, drawing directly from 1881 newspaper accounts and court testimony.
📜 Further Particulars:
We close with a wonderfully absurd 1830 tale of a man whose thunderous snoring during a London church service caused such chaos that the beadle considered divine intervention the only possible explanation…

The Abergavenny Christmas Massacre (1175) — The True Story Behind a Medieval Betrayal
News of the Times | Episode 585 | 1175
Step into the frozen winter of 1175, when a Christmas peace gathering at Abergavenny Castle turned into one of the most shocking betrayals in medieval Britain.
This is the real story behind a massacre so infamous that historians believe it helped inspire Game of Thrones’ Red Wedding.
In this episode, we uncover:
• William de Braose, the marcher lord with a score to settle
• Seisyll ap Dyfnwal, the Welsh chieftain lured into a deadly trap
• A Christmas feast where weapons were surrendered… and treachery waited behind the door
• The brutal aftermath that set Wales ablaze with vengeance
• The chilling curse said to have followed the de Braose family for generations
From Marcher politics to clan loyalty, from massacre to medieval “justice,” this is Dark December at its bleakest.
And in our Further Particulars:
A disastrous 1738 case from Faversham, where a man “testing for witchcraft” proved that superstition is dangerous…
but stupidity is lethal.
If you enjoy historical true crime, medieval history, forensic folklore, and long-form storytelling, this episode is made for you.
🕯 Settle in — and maybe don’t accept any Christmas invitations from Norman lords.
This is News of the Times.

The Wife Killer of Watchfield: The Brutal Case of John Carter (1893)
News of the Times | Episode 584 | 1893
In 1893, the quiet Berkshire hamlet of Watchfield discovered a horror hiding in plain sight.
Rhoda Carter — a young wife with no reason to run — vanished overnight. Her husband, John Carter, insisted she’d gone to tend her pregnant sister. But every part of his story began to crumble.
A locked washhouse.
A fire burning far too hot for a July night.
A nine-year-old boy woken by thuds, cries, and something heavy dragged down the stairs.
And beneath the blacksmith’s floor… a shocking discovery that shook the entire county.
What no one realised at first was this:
Rhoda was John Carter’s third wife — and the last in a disturbing pattern of women who died or disappeared around him.
In today’s episode, we follow the investigation step-by-step — from neighbours’ whispered suspicions, to the police search, to the inquest that exposed a brutal killing, and finally to the execution that confirmed Carter as one of Berkshire’s most chilling murderers.
This case would become so notorious that John Carter’s wax figure stood for years in Madame Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors.
Along the way, we also explore the extraordinary Victorian reporting that surrounded the case — including a wonderfully outraged commentary from the Illustrated Police News, who never missed a chance for melodrama.
So sit back, settle in, and let us take you to Watchfield, Berkshire, 1893 — a place where life moved slowly… until the night it didn’t.

The Kidsgrove Tragedy: Murder, Madness & the Vanished Mind | Staffordshire, 1911
News of the Times | Episode 582 |1911
In October 1911, the quiet mining town of Kidsgrove was shaken to its core.
Inside a secluded villa, three people — a widow, her four-year-old daughter, and their 16-year-old servant — were found brutally murdered. No forced entry. No screams. Just silence… until an eight-year-old child came running for help.
The prime suspect? Karl Kramer — a German labourer with a forged identity, a borrowed bicycle, and a suspicious amount of stolen silver jingling in his pockets.
But when the police finally caught him, a disturbing question emerged:
Was Kramer a calculated killer… or a man whose mind had simply vanished?
This episode follows the manhunt across counties, the extraordinary behaviour of the accused in custody, and the courtroom spectacle that left a jury trying not what the man had done — but whether he knew anything at all.
A chilling story of murder, madness, and a fugue state that baffled doctors, magistrates, and the Edwardian press.
🔎 Featuring:
• The shocking crime at Avenue Villa
• Witness sightings and the frantic police chase
• Kramer’s shifting identity and sudden “collapse”
• Courtroom confusion over sanity vs. shamming
• The extraordinary decision that sent him to Broadmoor
If you enjoy intelligent historical true crime, forensic missteps, and strange Edwardian tragedies, this episode will be right up your cobblestone street.
Stay to the end for today’s Further Particulars:
A nine-year-old boy, a bit of pocket money, and one extremely deceased mother —
proving that some Edwardian “playdates” should really come with a parental advisory.
It’s grim… but in a way the Victorians would have confidently labelled “character-building."

Yarmouth’s Darkest Day Since the Plague | The 1845 Bridge Disaster
News of the Times | Episode 581 | 1845
What began as a light-hearted Victorian spectacle — a clown in a tub drawn by four geese — became one of the worst civilian disasters in British history.
In 1845, hundreds gathered on Great Yarmouth’s suspension bridge to witness a novelty act. Within minutes, the bridge collapsed, sending a crowd — mostly women and children — plunging into the River Bure. Nearly 100 people lost their lives in a tragedy the press would call “a judgment too dreadful to be forgotten.”
In this episode, we uncover:
The bizarre origins of the event
Eyewitness horror and miraculous escapes
The haunting aftermath: legal confusion, public grief, and buried truths
How one young survivor described stabbing his way to safety beneath the water
And in this week’s Further Particulars, we leave tragedy behind to share the most curious Victorian headlines of 1845 — from exploding cotton bales to a pheasant illegally entering a workhouse.
Frankly, it's the best Victorian Twitter feed we’ve ever read.
📜 Join us as we walk the fog-bound quays of Yarmouth on its darkest day. A story of broken chains, a grieving town, and a spectacle gone terribly, fatally wrong.

Murder in Uniform: The Death of William Glass and the Hanging of Inspector Montgomery
News of the Times | Episode 580 | [1871 - 1873
🔍 A Victorian bank clerk found butchered. £1,600 in notes vanished. And standing at the centre of the storm? A decorated police inspector with debts, secrets... and a very damp coat.
In 1871, the quiet Irish town of Newtownstewart was shattered by a murder so brutal — and so unexpected — it dominated headlines across the Empire. But when the evidence began to point not to a stranger… but to the very man charged with protecting the town, the story turned from tragedy to national scandal.
👮♂️ Three trials. A buried cache of bloodstained notes. A murder weapon pulled from the undergrowth. And one of the most extraordinary prosecutions in British legal history.
In today’s News of the Times, we dive deep into the case of Inspector Thomas Hartley Montgomery, the only serving Irish police officer ever executed for murder.
And in today's end of episode further particulars story...
At the end of this harrowing tale of betrayal and bloody justice, we bring you a story of crime on a very different scale:
A Halloween prank. A Glasgow cinema display. And a gang of 13-year-old fashion bandits who left poor Harold Lloyd trouserless in a shop window.
Because nothing says “festive mischief” quite like grand theft flannel.
☕ Settle in with a strong brew and join us for this atmospheric journey into betrayal, justice, and the terrifying question: What happens when the murderer wears the uniform of trust?

The Ardlamont Mystery: Murder, Money, and the Missing Man
News of the Times | Episode 579 | 1893
Scotland, 1893 — A young aristocrat lies dead on a hunting estate. His tutor claims it was a tragic accident. But as investigators dig deeper, a tangled web of insurance policies, disappearing witnesses, and suspicious identities begins to unravel.
🔍 Who was the enigmatic "Edward Scott"?
💼 Why was a life insurance policy taken out just days before the death?
🧠 And what did the famed Dr Joseph Bell — the real-life inspiration for Sherlock Holmes — conclude when he examined the evidence?
In this gripping tale of privilege, planning, and misdirection, we uncover the true story behind one of the most mysterious deaths of the Victorian age — and the courtroom drama that followed.
📜 Featuring:
Greedy tutors
Vanishing witnesses
An inheritance at stake
And the curious forensic mind of Dr Bell…
💀 Did justice prevail — or did a killer walk free?
🐇 Further Particulars: The Ghost Rabbit That Shoots Back
And finally — as a curious footnote to our tale of hunting and misadventure — we bring you a moonlit story from Cornwall involving a haunted churchyard, a full pub, and a white rabbit that absolutely refuses to be shot.
One poor soul tried.He lost.To a rabbit.
True story. Victorian weirdness at its finest.

Spectral Evidence: The Chilling Case of Anne Walker’s Ghost | A Notorious November Episode
News of the Times | Episode 579 | 1631
In 1630s County Durham, the dead didn’t just whisper… they testified.
This is the gothic true crime story of Anne Walker — a young servant girl who vanished, only for her ghost to return, describe her murder, name her killers, and send shockwaves through a superstitious society. Incredibly, the courts listened. And a conviction followed.
In an era before fingerprints or forensics, “spectral evidence” was taken seriously — and in this case, it led to the gallows. Was it justice? Superstition? Or something stranger still?
Join us as we uncover a forgotten case where the veil between life and death thinned just enough… for a voice to cross it.
🕯️ Part of our Notorious November series exploring infamous, eerie, and unjust cases from the past.
👻 Further Particulars:
If you think a ghost naming her killer is the strangest thing you’ll hear today, wait until a reaper with a sickle meets a Welsh clergyman, a vanishing horseman, and a suspiciously well-timed “Amen.”
There’s divine intervention, roadside skulduggery, and possibly the politest haunting on ecclesiastical record. The Lord moves in mysterious ways. So, it seems, do mysterious men on white horses.

A Most Inconvenient Pregnancy: Class, Murder, and the Doddinghurst Tragedy of 1850
News of the Times | Episode 577 | 1850
Step into the shadows of rural England, where a quiet field near a stile becomes the setting for a grim discovery.
A young woman is found face-down in the grass. She was pregnant. And someone wanted her silence — permanent.
As whispers ripple through the small 1850s community of Doddinghurst, a troubling picture emerges: a man with much to lose, a secret love affair, and the desperate measures taken to protect a fragile reputation.
This haunting case from the Victorian era unfolds through inquest records, witness accounts, and a telling web of circumstantial evidence — revealing how reputation could be deadlier than truth.
📜 Join us as we delve into the social pressure, forensic limitations, and moral contradictions of 19th-century England in a case that shocked its time.
And in today’s “further particulars”…
Where the Doddinghurst tragedy gave us scandal and sorrow, our next tale offers no secret liaisons, no blackmail, and no lace-bound arsenic.
Just one man.
One mousehttps://youtu.be/VFjhBenGoZw.
And a coroner’s report that should really come with a lunchtime warning.
🐭 From the Manchester Evening News, we bring you a story quite literally swallowed whole… and still squeaking.

The Murder of Vera Page: A Case That Science Couldn't Solve
News of the Times | Episode 576 | 1931
In 1931, the disappearance of 10-year-old Vera Page sent shockwaves through Hammersmith, West London. When her body was discovered days later, concealed in a garden mere yards from her home, public outrage erupted — and police turned to their most famous forensic expert, Sir Bernard Spilsbury, to help secure a conviction.
Confident in his findings, Spilsbury offered precise testimony on time of death and fibre analysis. But despite his assertions, the case never led to a conviction. In later years, his conclusions were heavily criticised, with modern experts pointing to serious flaws in his methods — raising troubling questions about how justice was pursued, and at what cost.
Featuring:• The tragic death of Vera Page• Spilsbury’s courtroom dominance• Fibre and pathology claims that didn’t hold up• An enduring mystery, and a legacy of doubt
This week’s Further Particulars takes us back to 1893 Soho, where one envelope cutter discovered — too late — that not every conversation starter needs to be followed by demonstration.
What began as a night of friendly boasting at the Carlyle Arms quickly turned tragic when someone posed the eternal question:“Do you think a billiard ball would fit in my mouth?”

Murder on Wimbledon Common: The Fireside Poker Killing | 1917 True Crime
News of the Times | Episode 575 | 1917
A quiet house. A brutal assault. And a killer hiding in plain sight.
In November 1917, wartime London was still reeling from Zeppelin raids and rations — but nothing prepared the residents of Wimbledon Common for the horror inside Winkfield Lodge. When a maid opened the bedroom door that morning, she found her employer, Captain Edward Tighe, barely clinging to life — his skull shattered by a bent and bloodied poker.
🕯️ Four days later, the retired army officer was dead. The hunt began
📜 This gripping episode includes:
• The violent murder of a decorated army veteran
• A string of burglaries, a false identity, and a fateful pawnshop visit
• Trial coverage from the Old Bailey courtroom
• The final walk to the gallows, under the hand of hangman John Ellis
• And a rare look into wartime London's underworld of crime
📰 Further Particulars:
And finally, from fireplace pokers to broken hearts, we turn now to the treacherous world of Edwardian romance — a time when courtship was conducted not by swiping right, but by cautiously wording your larder habits in the Matrimonial Advertiser.
In 1917, one hopeful woman of fifty dared to make the first move — only to be met with a red silk handkerchief rendezvous, a suspected poacher offering to keep her larder full, and a musical "gentleman" whose publishing credentials turned out to be as fictional as his hairline.
If you thought modern dating was unforgiving, wait until you hear how leap-year love fared when advertised by the column inch. 🕯️💔📬

Triple Gallows at Newgate: The Shocking Crimes Behind the 1896 Hanging | Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times | Episode 573| 1896
In June 1896, a grim crowd gathered outside Newgate Prison for a rare and chilling spectacle: three men hanged side by side, their fates sealed by two of the most brutal murder cases in Victorian London.
This episode dives deep into the shocking crimes that led to that triple execution:
🗝️ Muswell Hill: The savage killing of 79-year-old Henry Smith, a reclusive engineer who wired his garden with explosives and dined at ten.
🔨 Turner Street, Whitechapel: A violent rooftop escape, a double murder, and a criminal so brazen he nearly flattened a child in his flight from justice.
From ingenious burglar alarms and dark lanterns to courtroom betrayals and rooftop plunges, we follow Scotland Yard’s relentless pursuit across counties — and through some of the bloodiest pages of the 1890s press.
📜 Featuring rare newspaper sources, forensics from the dawn of modern policing, and a finale worthy of a gothic novel — this is Victorian crime as you’ve never heard it.
🎩 FURTHER PARTICULARS
Also in this episode:
A retired greengrocer seeks peace, quiet, and boiled vegetables.
Instead, he gets a pawned shawl, a hostage chair, and a surprise marriage proposal.
He came for lodgings. She came for commitment.
Someone’s not getting their sideboard back.

Too Drunk to Hang? The Brutal 1909 Murder That Changed British Law
News of the Times | Episode 572 |1909
In this gripping true crime episode, we head to the shadowy backstreets of Edwardian Leeds to uncover the harrowing case of Thomas Mead, a gasworker whose drunken, brutal attack on his partner Clara Howell shocked the nation — and forever altered British legal history.
When Mead claimed he was “too drunk to form intent,” the courts were faced with a pressing question: can murder be excused by drink?
The result? A landmark ruling in R v Mead (1909) that helped close a long-abused legal loophole — the so-called drink defence.
Was it rage? Was it the bottle? Or was it the end of the line for “I didn’t mean to” as a courtroom strategy?
🕰️ Join us as we explore:
A chilling crime scene concealed with old rugs
A killer who couldn't stop confessing — with increasing bravado
And a court case that became a legal turning point for crimes committed under the influence
🔍 Plus — in today's Further Particulars:
A moonlit walk, a suspiciously firm handshake, and the most humiliating proposal in County Durham.
Yes, it’s the Victorian romance that wasn’t — featuring Gentle Johnny, one “fine-looking girl,” and a final twist that left the whole village howling. Bring your own shawlet.

🔪 Six Failed Attempts to Kill His Mother-in-Law | The Spitalfields Hatchet Attack of 1874
News of the Times | Episode 571| 1874
Notorious November
London, 1874. A quiet Spitalfields lodging. A knock at the door. And a furious son-in-law armed with a pistol, a hatchet, a knife, a shoemaker’s last, a bag of stones, and — why not — some gunpowder for flair.
What followed was one of the most bizarre and dogged murder attempts ever committed in Victorian England. George French tried six separate times to kill his mother-in-law — and failed every single one.
In this darkly absurd episode of News of the Times, we dive into a case that scandalised the papers and baffled the courts. From misfiring pistols to blunt-force absurdity, it’s a tale of revenge, resilience, and wildly incompetent villainy.
⚖️ Featuring:
Inspector Abberline (yes, that Abberline — of Ripper fame)
A pistol loaded with a stone
A heroic shoemaker named Orton
A mother-in-law who refused to die politely
🎩 Further Particulars Teaser:
And if you think your vegetables are simply salad ingredients, you may want to think again.
In Monmouth, 1833, a turnip mysteriously resembling a local murder suspect’s severed hand was discovered growing in a field.
Coincidence? Or the first known vegetable-based witness statement?
Either way — check your root cellar.

Found Headless on the Marshes: Scotland Yard Casebook 1865
News of the Times | Episode 570| 1865
Welcome to another chilling episode of News of the Times.
In 1865, a gruesome discovery on the Plaistow Marshes stunned Victorian London: a man’s headless body, dumped in the reeds — his head buried nearby in a shallow grave. The case would soon unravel into an international mystery of betrayal, greed, and grim disposal methods, involving a heavy-set Prussian, a suspicious German companion, and two locked boxes hiding grim secrets.
⚖️ Was it cold-blooded murder? Or a calculated plot that spiralled out of control?
In this episode:
The shocking crime scene that drew thousands to an East End hotel
The eerie clues uncovered in the marshes — from a bloody hatchet handle to a discarded white-handled knife
The suspects' descent into suspicion, and the trial that captivated the public
A community left reeling, and a crime that has haunted the area for generations
🕯️ Step into the gaslit streets and eerie marshes of 1860s East London, where not all those who vanish stay buried…
👻 And in today’s Further Particulars…
As if Victorian true crime wasn’t theatrical enough — we’re off to Covent Garden, where the lights were low, the waltz was in full swing, and the only thing more shocking than the price of champagne… was the ghost in full armour who decided to join the party.
Yes — not your usual moaning hallway phantom. This one hovered across the dancefloor like Siegfried on a celestial zipline, causing the conductor to drop his baton and the drummer to question his life choices.
Because nothing says sophisticated London evening like a haunted opera house and a ghost in metalwork.
Do stay tuned… 🎭🕯️🫖👻

The Dundry Hill Murder: The Wedmore Brothers and the Death of Sarah Waterman, 1861
News of the Times | Episode 569 | 1861
In the winter of 1861, a savage crime shocked the quiet hills near Bristol.
George and Sarah Waterman, an elderly couple known for their quiet life and kindness, were attacked in their own cottage — ambushed by two masked men. The intruders came armed, posing as a local policeman to gain entry, and what followed was a scene of unimaginable brutality.
Sarah Waterman was left with her skull nearly shattered. George, bloodied and barely alive, was tied to a bacon rack and left to die.
The twist? The attackers were not strangers. They were family.
This is the chilling case of the Wedmore brothers — Charles and Matthew — whose descent into greed and violence ended with a double hanging that drew thousands to the prison yard at Taunton.
It’s a tale of rural isolation, broken kinship, and justice that came only after one of the most appalling home invasions of the Victorian age.
🕯️ And in tonight’s Further Particulars…
A devil in white. Rubber trousers. A glowing turnip. And a cry of “chick, chick.”
In 1867 Broughty Ferry, terror had a new name — Spring Legs. Part ghost, part gymnast, and part candle-powered performance artist, he leapt through gardens, haunted windows… and met his match in a well-aimed flowerpot.
Some say he was possessed. Others say he was just… Scottish.😉

The Scampston Murder | The Riverbank Crime That Shocked Edwardian England (1903)
News of the Times | Episode 568 | 1903
A quiet Yorkshire village. A missing maid. A borrowed revolver.
When 16-year-old Annie Marshall failed to return after Sunday evensong in 1903, no one expected the tragedy that followed. Two days later, her body was found in the reeds of the River Derwent — shot twice, violated, and with her mouth stuffed full of grass.
The prime suspect? A jealous young farmhand with a secret, a pistol, and far too much to hide.
In this episode of News of the Times, we explore the haunting real-life story of the Scampston Murder — a case that gripped Edwardian England with its blend of rural innocence, jealousy, and unspeakable violence. From mysterious gunshots in the night to a chilling confession and a gallows sentence, this is a tale that echoes with injustice and grief.
📜 Featuring period newspaper accounts, courtroom drama, and the eerie details that captivated a nation.
🕯️ Plus: In today’s Further Particulars — a macabre ghost story involving two murderers, a corpse, and what might be Death himself on a wooden bridge. It’s crime. It’s karma. It’s Victorian fog at full blast.

The Honeymoon Poisoning: The Chilling Case of Catherine Foster
News of the Times | Episode 566 | 1846
It began as a village wedding in the golden lanes of Suffolk.
Three weeks later, the bride was on trial for her husband’s murder.
In 1846, Catherine Foster—just 17 years old and newly married—served her childhood sweetheart a dumpling for supper. By dawn, he was dead. What followed became one of the most sensational arsenic poisoning cases in Victorian England, ending with Catherine’s public execution in Bury St Edmunds.
🔍 Was it calculated murder, or a tragic case of a girl trapped by circumstance, confusion, and a pot of flour?
Featuring original period newspaper accounts, courtroom testimony, and the haunting final confession Catherine left behind, this episode takes you deep into the heart of Victorian justice—and a tale that shocked the nation.
In today’s Further Particulars:
A Victorian terrier, a suspicious hedge, and a case of canine clairvoyance that may have saved a man’s life.
Bristol newspapers assert categorically that the story is factual...

The Limehouse Mystery — The 1867 Case That Divided Victorian London
News of the Times | Episode 565 | 1867
A young woman found dead.
A slashed throat.
And a chilling claim from her lover — that she did it to herself.
But the neighbours heard something different: a scream in the night, the unmistakable cry of murder.
By the time the police arrived, her body was already cold… and the timeline didn’t match his story.
In this gripping case from Limehouse, 1867, we revisit the murder trial of a lighterman accused of killing his sweetheart in a cramped East End bedroom. With blood on the walls and suspicious wounds of his own, the suspect insisted it was suicide — but the evidence pointed elsewhere.
🔎 Was it murder, self-inflicted tragedy… or a calculated cover-up involving the entire household?
Join us as we unpick the contradictions, follow the inquest testimony, and explore a case that shocked Victorian London to its core — complete with ghostly rumours, courtroom theatrics, and one very unsettling post-mortem.

The Malthouse Murder | Wolverton’s Burning Secret (1867)
News of the Times | Episode 564 |1867
Welcome to News of the Times — where true crime meets smoke, suspicion, and a suspiciously well-stacked pile of coal.
In the early dawn of 1867, the villagers of Wolverton awoke to smoke curling from the local malthouse — but the scent wasn’t malted barley.
Beneath the flames, they uncovered a charred horror: the half-burned body of Martha Britten, her wedding ring glinting defiantly through the soot. Her husband, George, stood nearby, insisting it wasn’t her. Even as the evidence said otherwise.
This is a tale of domestic darkness, blunt instruments, and a man who blamed the Devil — quite literally — for everything. From jealous rage to clumsy cover-up, The Malthouse Murder unfolds like a Victorian penny dreadful with a particularly grim punchline.

Sarah Chesham: The Essex Poisoner Who Changed British Law (1847–1851)
News of the Times | Episode 563 | 1851
In the sleepy village of Clavering, Essex, two young boys died days apart — sudden, wrenching illness, no clear explanation. Locals whispered… but the law shrugged.
Then a neighbour’s infant died.
Then her husband.
All had one visitor in common.
Her name was Sarah Chesham — but to the press, she became Sally Arsenic, a domestic poisoner whose quiet kitchen rewrote the rules of Victorian justice.
Accused of killing her children, her husband, and another child in a neighbouring village, she stood trial not once, not twice, but three times — and walked free each time. Until, finally, in a fourth trial, the evidence refused to be ignored.
☠️ This episode reveals the chilling true story behind the woman who horrified a nation.
🕵️♂️ Based on original newspaper archives and courtroom testimony, we examine:
Arsenic and the Victorian household
The tragic pattern of “illness” in Clavering
Sarah’s notorious trials and final downfall
The real-life consequences that changed English legal proceedings
📚 A tale of whispers, funeral pies, and arsenic-laced rice pudding — this is one case you may not want to watch over dinner.

Bayonet Madness in Batley: A Victorian Double Murder
News of the Times | Episode 1865 | 562
When heartbreak met a bayonet in Batley, the result was a tragedy that shook all of Yorkshire.
In August 1865, 19-year-old Eli Sykes seemed the very picture of respectability — steady, polite, a proud member of Queen Victoria’s volunteer corps. But when the young woman he loved, Hannah Brook, told him no, something inside him splintered.
By nightfall, Hannah and her mother lay dying in their own doorway — stabbed fifteen times with the very bayonet he’d drilled with that afternoon.
From jealousy and delusion to public horror and a courtroom gasping at his calm confession, this is one of the darkest and most chilling crimes of Victorian England.
🕯️ In this episode:
A love story turned lethal
A rifleman’s descent into obsession
A community’s grief, and a courtroom transfixed
And a death so brutal, even hardened reporters faltered
☕ Further Particulars
Elsewhere in 1865, a man faced a far graver Victorian crime — wearing his hat too stubbornly.
What began as jury duty soon spiralled into a courtroom showdown between a Quaker, an exasperated judge, and a hat that simply refused to leave the head it adorned.
A spiritual protest?
A fashion crisis?
Or just the world’s most dedicated haberdasher?
We present it now, as proof that even in the sternest of times, absurdity had impeccable manners. 🎩⚖️

He Slept Beside His Brother… Then Butchered Him With an Axe | The 1857 Maidstone Fratricide
News of the Times | Episode 561 | 1857
In March 1857, the quiet town of Maidstone was shaken by a killing so savage that even the local coroner faltered in describing it. Two brothers, one bed, one axe — and a brutal act that tore a working-class family apart.
By dawn, one son was dead.
The other… vanished into the woods.
Was it a calculated murder years in the making — or a sudden, frenzied explosion from a troubled mind? In this deeply atmospheric case, we follow the clues, the escape, the trial, and the chilling confession that came far too late.
🧠 Dark, grim, and threaded with questions of motive and madness — this is one of the most harrowing cases of fratricide we’ve ever covered.
🌙 Featuring:
Victorian domestic life, upended in an instant
A night of unspeakable violence
A courtroom filled with stifled grief
One of the most peculiar deathbed letters in our archive
💨 And in this week’s Further Particulars…
An enterprising gentleman decides to insure 1,000 cigars against fire. Then… he smokes every last one and tries to claim the lot. Because technically… they were destroyed by fire. 🔥💼
The result? A courtroom, a headache, and the swift death of optimism among underwriters.

The Paris Poisoning Scandal: Madame Tiquet's Fall from Society to the Scaffold (1699)
News of the Times | Episode 560 | 16999
💀 From Drawing Rooms to the Death Sentence – The Scandal That Shook Paris 🥀
In 17th-century Paris, a city alive with powdered wigs, whispered gossip, and deadly ambition, one woman’s rise and fall scandalised high society. Madame Tiquet had it all — wealth, status, and a husband she couldn’t stand. When poison entered the picture, it wasn’t just her marriage on the line… but her life.
Join us as we unravel the dramatic true crime tale of a privileged wife turned public prisoner — a story that captivated the crowds and cast a long shadow over notions of guilt, justice, and the roles of women in pre-Revolutionary France.
⚖️ Was she a victim of cruelty or a calculated killer?
🕵️♂️ What really happened behind the velvet curtains of her Parisian home?
⛓️ And why did the people of France cheer for her execution?
This episode delves into betrayal, mystery, and one of France’s most talked-about poison scandals — long before Marie Antoinette ever said a word about cake.
And in today's end of episode Further particulars segment...
Forget true crime podcasts — 17th‑century Paris had its own grisly shocker. An ‘eminent’ midwife, dozens of missing babies, a nosy neighbour… and an execution so bizarre it makes Game of Thrones look like Sunday school. Stick around for one of history’s most horrifyingly creative punishments.

Arsenic, Bonnets and Betrayal: The 1869 Dudley Poisoning of Joseph Oliver
News of the Times | Episode 559 | 1869
It began, as so many Victorian poisonings did, with an ordinary cup of milk and a sudden sickness.
In the quiet town of Hart’s Hill near Birmingham, Joseph Oliver — a healthy, hard‑working boilermaker — fell violently ill in the spring of 1869. Within weeks he was dead, and his young wife, Fanny Frances Oliver, was weeping at his funeral. But behind closed doors, something far darker was taking shape.
Before Joseph’s death, Fanny had rekindled a secret affair with a butcher named Burgess. She had quietly siphoned her husband’s life savings and purchased arsenic under a false name — supposedly, she said, to “clean bonnets.”
Was she a desperate woman trapped in a loveless marriage, or a cold, calculating killer ready to start a new life? This episode plunges deep into one of the most dramatic Victorian poisoning trials of the 19th century — a case that gripped Birmingham and Dudley with its themes of betrayal, greed, and arsenic‑laced ambition.
And in this episode's further particulars segment...
Thinking of leaving Britain in 1841? Don’t pack your trunks just yet — we’ve unearthed a marvellously well-meaning guide to emigration from a time when Florida was hailed as the Montpelier of America and Virginia was (optimistically) preparing for a progressive future...
Our correspondent helpfully steers you clear of Canada’s blizzards, prairie diseases, and “extremely rude” society — and into the silken arms of Delaware, Pennsylvania, and the subtropical citrus dreams of the American South. 🌴🧳
It’s the travel brochure you didn’t know you needed — complete with moral panic, coal optimism, and suspiciously cheerful railways.

A Ghost Story Without a Ghost: The Chelsea Parlour Murder of 1833
News of the Times | Episode 558 | 1833
In 1833, 70‑year‑old Catherine Elms lived quietly in a tiny Chelsea flat. She was well liked, friendly, and poor, with only a few modest possessions.
But one winter night she was found brutally slaughtered — her face split open by repeated blows with a sword and a hatchet, her rooms ransacked — and yet not a single thing of value was missing.
And the true puzzle:
Every door locked and bolted.
Shutters fastened.
The street‑door key lying untouched in the hallway.
It was as if the killer had melted through the very walls.
With no servants, no family at home, and her only lodger away, the killing defied sense. Who could have entered the sealed house? Was it a stranger with a secret grudge — or someone she trusted enough to let in before she locked up for the night?
This shocking “Chelsea Flat Murder” horrified England, baffled investigators, and has remained an enduring locked‑room mystery for nearly two centuries. Join us as we reopen the case.
In this episode's Further Particulars…
From blood‑spattered parlours to phantom brawls in the Welsh valleys — tonight’s palate cleanser comes from Glamorganshire, where the infamous Tondu Ghost isn’t content to rattle chains.
Lock the doors, pour another cup of tea, and meet the phantom pugilist of Tondu.

The Woman in Black and the Murder of Augusta Dawes | True Crime 1894
News of the Times | Episode 557 | 1894
🕯️ A 19th-century mystery that begins with a murder... and spirals into urban legend.
In the winter of 1894, one of London’s most refined boroughs was struck by two chilling tales — one whispered behind lace curtains, the other screamed across the front pages.
First: a shocking early-morning discovery near Addison Road Bridge. A woman found dead in the street — throat slashed, blood pooling on the pavement, and a cherrywood walking stick left behind. Her name? Unknown.
Then, just days later, a new terror crept in:
A veiled woman in black, described as gliding silently through Kensington’s polished streets, began attacking respectable women in broad daylight, striking their faces with a concealed blade — and walking calmly away.
Newspapers dubbed it “The Kensington Outrages.”
The public whispered it might be Jack the Ripper in disguise.
Was it all just coincidence?
Or was something darker — and more deliberate — hiding beneath Kensington’s genteel façade?
🕯️ In tonight’s Further Particulars segment:
We visit a haunted crossroads in Buckinghamshire… where a headless woman in black is said to appear before passing farmers — and float, quite rudely, through their hedges.

The Nolagh House of Horror: Ireland’s 1898 Family Massacre
News of the Times | Episode 556 | 1898
On a bitter January night in 1898, neighbours in rural County Cavan made a grim discovery: a silent farmhouse, a smashed-in door, and a scene of almost unspeakable horror.
Inside, the bodies of Mary Reilly, her daughter Mary King, and two small children lay motionless on the straw-strewn floor. Their skulls had been crushed with a heavy spade. One child had been smothered beneath its mother's corpse. The other—barely a toddler—may have survived two more days, dying slowly from cold, hunger, and fear.
Even the rats had arrived before the authorities.
This shocking case rocked Victorian Ireland: a locked-door family annihilation, bitter domestic violence, and a trial that revealed more questions than answers. Follow the journey from the chilling crime scene through legal wranglings in Cavan and Belfast, ending with a verdict so unexpected that even the Lord Chief Justice was left stunned.
💥 "Transcended in horror everything comprised in my experience of crime." — Lord Chief Justice O’Brien
🕯 FURTHER PARTICULARS SEGMENT:
We leave the blood-stained fields of Cavan for an icy January in London, where top-hatted gentlemen and bonneted ladies gather—white roses pinned to lapels—to mourn a beheaded king. Over 250 years after Charles I lost his crown (and his head), the Jacobite faithful still marched, toasted, and whispered of royal restoration.
A bizarre blend of political nostalgia, public theatre, and candlelit reverence—this is one of history’s strangest cult followings.
☕ So grab a warm cup of tea, draw the curtains, and let the tales unfold—from one of the darkest farmhouse murders in Ireland’s history… to a wintertime ceremony for a king few ever liked.

The Scissors Murder Mystery: Unsolved Brixton Crime Shocks Edwardian London
News of the Times | Episode 555| 1900
In May 1900, the body of Mary Waknell was discovered in a quiet Brixton basement — savagely stabbed nearly forty times, many wounds inflicted with her own sewing scissors. No forced entry. No signs of struggle. And no one was ever convicted.
Was her killer a jealous husband? A man known only as “Jack”? Or one of many nighttime visitors society refused to acknowledge?
In this episode of News of the Times, we follow the cold, bloodstained trail of one of Edwardian London’s most brutal unsolved crimes. Using original newspaper reports and forensic details long buried in the archives, we uncover a tale of judgment, hypocrisy, and the quiet brutality faced by women who lived outside the lines of respectability.
If you're drawn to forgotten murders, historical injustice, and the atmospheric fog of Edwardian London — this case is not to be missed.
🔎 Featuring:
• A killer who vanished without a trace
• Clues hidden in postcards and pawn slips
• A society that blamed the victim
• And a room that tells a hauntingly silent story
☕ Pour a strong cup of tea and settle in — tonight’s tale is one for the darker corners of the parlour.
🥊 Further Particulars
Three hooligans. One well-dressed man with fast hands.
Let’s just say their Fleet Street mugging didn’t go to plan — especially when the would-be victim turned out to be a champion boxer with no patience for nonsense.
Teeth were lost.
Dignity was not recovered.

The 1913 Sun Inn Pub Murders | True Crime
News of the Times | Episode 553 | 1913
In the quiet village of Bedlington, April 1913, a dispute over beer stock and a £30 bond exploded into one of Edwardian England’s most shocking pub tragedies.
Publican John Vickers Amos, recently dismissed from the Sun Inn, refused to leave quietly. Within hours, two police officers lay dead, a landlady was mortally wounded, and a rifle-wielding manhunt had begun.
This meticulously sourced documentary draws from 1913 newspaper accounts to reveal:
How a routine stock-taking spiralled into fatal violence
The tense standoff, escape, and dramatic culvert capture
The sensational trial and execution of John Amos
The psychological defence that gripped the nation
A chilling portrait of workplace tension, rural policing, and Edwardian justice — all unfolding beneath the thatched roof of a country pub.
🎩 FURTHER PARTICULARS
What do you get when you combine an Edwardian goodnight kiss, a poorly guarded basement, and a startled father in upside-down trousers?
Let’s just say… The Fatal Kiss was not the romance headline anyone expected.

Scottish Mystery: The Bound Woman and the Pit That Hid the Truth | True Crime 1909
News of the Times | Episode 552 | 1909
It’s 1909 in Musselburgh, Scotland.
A woman’s body—bound, sacked, and terribly decomposed—is found deep in an abandoned coal pit. Nearby: a torn necktie, broken combs, scattered shoes, and rumours of a second attack.
Who was she? How did she vanish unseen? And what links a missing sailor, a jealous miner, and a fragment of newspaper dated June 11th?
This new News of the Times true-crime documentary pieces together Georgina “Jeannie” Burnett’s final hours from contemporary newspaper reports. From a sailor’s ruined career to a miner’s suspicious quarrel, every clue leads closer to—but never quite solves—the Musselburgh Mystery.
🕯️ Further Particulars — an Edwardian Party Gone Rogue
Stay to the very end for a palate-cleansing detour: when a hundred fashionably dressed hooligans crashed a quiet London couple’s home for a midnight dance party, the hosts simply put on their silk dressing gowns, wished everyone a pleasant evening, and went to bed.
Society rebellion met its match in frosty good manners — proof that sometimes the sharpest weapon is an impeccably raised eyebrow.

The Actress Who Tried to Kill Her Mother | True Crime 1909
News of the Times | Episode 551| 1909
In this astonishing Edwardian crime, a young woman named Winifred Kirk lured her own mother to a secluded country road — and attempted to end her life with a rope and a shoemaker’s knife.
What began as a secret letter turned into a national scandal. Was this premeditated matricide... or a moment of madness, born of family disgrace, scandal, and emotional collapse?
This gripping episode includes:
Letters of alarming intent ✉️
A skipping rope turned murder weapon 🪢
A shoemaker’s knife in a corset (naturally) 🔪
A courtroom monologue worthy of amateur dramatics 🎭
And a family reputation unravelling at high speed.
Based entirely on contemporary newspaper reports, this is a tale of Edwardian shame, melodrama, and the kind of family outing that ends with hospitalisation, tears, and penal servitude.
And in our Further Particulars segment, a brief break from attempted matricide… to celebrate America’s proudest tradition: surviving the Fourth of July with all major limbs attached.
In 1912, only twenty people died — a stunning victory for restraint, rooftops, and remaining fingers.

In today’s Further Particulars, we bring you a man with strong views on trousers, public transport, and the correct way to be reintroduced into society after a spell in Wormwood Scrubs.
Meet William Willoughby, a 72-year-old pewter pot thief with a theatrical streak, a battered coat, and a mission to expose the indignities of post-prison fashion.
Within two days of his release, Willoughby was back in court — not just for theft, but for delivering what may be the most accidentally brilliant one-man show in Clerkenwell Sessions history.

The Shocking Murder of Harriet Farmer – Bound and Gagged Above Her Shop (1904) | True Crime
News of the Times | Episode 548 | 1904
Step into the shadows of interwar Britain as we uncover the horrifying 1921 murder of Harriet Farmer — a respectable shopkeeper found bound, gagged, and beaten to death in her modest flat above the store.
Set in the quiet town of Maldon, Essex, this chilling case shocked the nation: a quiet Sunday morning, a silent shop, and upstairs — a scene of unspeakable violence. Harriet’s final hours remain a grim mystery, and the hunt for her killer sparked one of the most dramatic manhunts of the decade.
In this episode of News of the Times, we explore:
The disturbing crime scene that left police baffled
Mysterious sightings of a man in a brown coat
Secret letters and unspoken relationships
The nationwide pursuit of a suspect who vanished into the fog
With original newspaper sources and carefully researched details, we revisit a nearly forgotten case that still haunts the annals of British crime.
💍 FURTHER PARTICULARS:
After a grim East End murder, we pivot sharply to Victorian romance — which, in this case, involves a Pullman carriage, a trembling bride, and a groom who goes full Gothic meltdown before they reach St Pancras. Spoiler: the honeymoon suite came with restraining straps.

The 1900 Beeston Murder: Mary Ann Blewitt Found Dead in Her Chair
News of the Times | Episode 547 | 1900
In the summer of 1900, the quiet village of Beeston near Leeds was shaken to its core. Mary Ann Blewitt, a hardworking mill hand, was discovered dead in her own kitchen chair — her throat cut, her body left untouched for days. Her husband Charles had vanished, leaving only a shaved moustache, bloodstained boots, and whispers of a troubled past.
As the manhunt spread from Leeds to Halifax, the case twisted through two dramatic trials: juries divided, neighbours stunned, and a husband who showed no sign of fear, even as the noose loomed closer. Was Charles Oliver Blewitt a desperate husband seeking work — or a cold-blooded killer hiding in plain sight?
And in our Further Particulars… we travel to Aberdeen, where the Nellfield Cemetery scandal of 1899 proved that even the dead can’t always rest in peace. With coffin lids paraded through court and gravediggers wielding shovels a little too enthusiastically, it was less a tale of solemn mourning than one of questionable job descriptions and very untidy ledgers.
🔔 Join us for this chilling Leeds murder and the curious cemetery caper that followed — only on News of the Times.
🕯️ A documentary series exploring British criminal history through primary sources — ideal for viewers who enjoy history, forensic psychology, and courtroom drama without modern commentary or filler.

The Riviera Murderer Who Lured Women to Their Deaths | True Crime 1902
News of the Times | Episode 546 |1902
The French press once whispered his name alongside Jack the Ripper’s — but Henri Vidal was no criminal genius. Instead, this so-called “Riviera Murderer” left a trail of bloodied clothing, stolen trinkets, and shameless lies across southern France in 1902. From Marseilles to Nice, he lured vulnerable women under false names and empty promises… only to meet his downfall through sheer recklessness.
Was he a calculating predator, a degenerate opportunist, or simply a vain drifter whose crimes finally caught up with him? This episode follows Vidal’s violent spree, the panic he caused along the Riviera, and the chilling courtroom testimony that condemned him to a fate he did not expect.
And in our Further Particulars segment — something a little lighter, though scarcely less scandalous. Picture this: a Leeds gentleman, a fashionable London lady, and a late-night quarrel about how to properly eat asparagus. There’s missing money, a diamond ring pawned as collateral, and accusations that end in court rather than romance. Proof, perhaps, that bad table manners can be just as dangerous as bad intentions.
🕰️ Join us as we uncover murder, scandal, and one unforgettable asparagus debate in this week’s News of the Times.

Scotland Yard Casebook: The Jealous Seamstress Who Stabbed Her Lover in Broad Daylight | True Crime 1902
News of the Times | Episode 545 | 1902
A bustling London street. A young man lies bleeding. A woman, once in love, now holds the knife.
In this gripping 1902 case from the Scotland Yard Casebook, we uncover the dramatic story of a seamstress whose jealousy turned deadly — and the scandal that followed. From courtroom theatrics to a surprising twist in motive, this real-life tale of love, betrayal, and sudden violence shocked Edwardian Britain.
🗞️ What drove her to commit murder in public view?
👗 Was it a crime of passion — or a calculated act of vengeance?
⚖️ And what did the jury decide after hearing her explosive confession?
Join us as we revisit the headlines, the trial, and the societal attitudes that shaped one of the most sensational cases of its time.
From crimes of passion to the peculiar perils of principle — we end with a wonderfully odd tale from 1922 Bermondsey, where a young heir to a vast Indian fortune voluntarily checked himself into a London workhouse.
His reason? He felt he hadn't earned the inheritance.
What followed involves lofty morals, lost money, and the timeless warning: never fall among thieves…

Body Under the Bed: The 1920 Murder That Shook Little Marlow
News of the Times | Episode 544 |1921
When police forced their way into a silent riverside cottage in Little Marlow, they made a chilling discovery: the body of a young woman, wrapped in a sheet and hidden beneath the bed.
Within hours, her husband — a self-proclaimed music tutor with a trail of peculiar newspaper ads — was arrested at a railway station. But was this a case of murder, madness… or a deadly lesson in deception?
In this episode, we trace the strange and unsettling case of Kate Lilian Bailey — a quiet wife with a young child — and the man who promised melodies but delivered mayhem. Expect poison, false identities, and one very sinister "academy of music."
🗞️ Further Particulars:
We step away from the murder itself to explore the trial’s remarkable legacy: it was the first time women served on a British murder jury.
Faced with poison, scandal, and damning evidence, these three women were expected to flinch. Instead, they helped change legal history.

Scotland Yard Casebook The Locked Garage Murder – A Chilling 1929 Crime Mystery
News of the Times | Episode 543 | 1929
In the winter of 1929, Southampton held its breath. Behind the padlocked doors of a quiet garage, the decomposed body of an oil agent was found — his pockets empty, his car silent, and the rats already at their work. No one had seen him in two months.
Scotland Yard’s finest were dispatched, and what began as a simple case of robbery soon unraveled into one of the decade’s most perplexing investigations. Was it suicide, as some dared to whisper? Or a carefully staged murder?
With hammers, missing letters, and whispers of accomplices, the case grew darker. And when the man with the scar and his golden-haired companion “Lil” entered the picture, the press erupted — a national manhunt, a courtroom saga, and a verdict that shocked Britain.
✨ And in our Further Particulars —
we trade hammers and handcuffs for gramophones and glamour. While Scotland Yard puzzled over locked garages,
Britain puzzled over talkies. Yes, 1929 was also the year Europe tried to knock Hollywood off its perch with scratchy soundtracks, Siemens, Phototone, and much patriotic optimism.
Proof, if ever needed, that history has room for both gruesome murders and mildly competitive film technology.

Scotland Yard Casebook: The Hotel Murder That Baffled London (1922)
News of the Times | Episode 542 | 1922
London, 1922. A respected widow is found in her bed at the Spencer Hotel near Oxford Street — her skull fractured, her life slipping away. No fingerprints. No weapon. No forced entry. No known enemies.
With the city in shock, Scotland Yard’s finest — including one of the legendary “Big Four” — scrambled to untangle a crime that seemed to have no clues at all. Was Lady White killed for revenge? For money? Or was she the tragic victim of a mistake that left detectives chasing shadows through the corridors of a quiet hotel?
What followed was a sensational investigation: whispering voices in the basement, a watchful stranger outside the hotel, and finally a shocking confession from the least expected suspect.
✨ In our Further Particulars — a lighter (and rather scandalous) postscript — we turn from murder to matrimony. Meet the teenage daughter of an MP who eloped with a baronet’s heir at 17… only to discover he was less Prince Charming and more “headstrong, obstinate, stupid and dictatorial” (to quote the judge, not us). Chauffeurs were dispatched like ultimatums, pocket money was scandalously withheld, and court proceedings made the gossip columns buzz.
🎧 If you’re drawn to mysteries that leave even Scotland Yard grasping for answers — with a side of history’s most ill-advised romance — this is one casebook you won’t want to miss.

Sisters, Poison, and Betrayal: The Forfar Murder Case of 1827
News of the Times | Episode 540 | 1827
IIn the quiet Scottish town of Forfar, 1827, a tragic case unfolds — one shrouded in domestic routine, whispered secrets, and the quiet horror of suspicion.
When a blind, unmarried young woman named dies suddenly following childbirth, townsfolk are gripped not only by the circumstances of her death, but by the implications that soon follow.
Her infant, born of a concealed pregnancy, dies just days later.
All eyes turn to her older sister, — the caregiver, the housekeeper… and perhaps, the woman with most to lose.
Could jealousy or a long-simmering rivalry between sisters have turned deadly?
Was there a clandestine love triangle involving a former lodger — one who may have fathered the child of the now dead sisters?
This haunting case from the early 19th century examines class, gender, and quiet desperation in a society that left little room for female autonomy — where even the smallest scandal could ruin a life, and an infant’s birth might end in more than one burial.
Drawn entirely from period sources, this case is a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century justice, forensic guesswork, and the fragile bonds of family when suspicion takes root.
📜 Expect:
• Sudden illnesses and suspicious substances
• Servants whispering in hallways
• A slow-burn trial with unexpected turns
💔 Further Particulars — The Window-Smasher's Serenade
Think Victorian love stories were all lace bonnets and piano duets? Think again.
We round out today’s episode with the tale of Miss Matilda Cronin, who took a more... assertive approach to heartbreak in 1849.
After being ghosted by one George Marsh, she arrived beneath his window at midnight to sing him a little something special — followed by a slap to the cheek and a well-timed assault on his front windows. Matilda may not have won George’s heart, but she definitely broke his glazing. 💥💘

Confessed After 22 Years — The Victorian Murder That Refused to Stay Buried
News of the Times | Episode 539 | 1879
Step into the shadowy world of Victorian secrets, where murder doesn’t always stay in the past. In today’s chilling tale, we follow a crime that baffled the community for over two decades—until a sudden confession upends everything.
What drives a man to speak after 22 years of silence?
And what does justice look like after such a long delay?
This episode reveals the twists, suspicions, and strange silences surrounding a haunting case that simply wouldn’t let go. A richly layered mystery full of deception, rural whispers, and a guilt that proved impossible to bury.
But wait—there’s more...
🪶 Further Particulars:
In this week’s bizarre bonus tale from 1879, we meet a man, a suspiciously full tub of feathers, and 30 deeply traumatised geese.
Caught mid-moult — or so he claimed — the geese were found nearly naked, with feathers clearly yanked rather than shed.
The defendant offered a flurry of excuses: moulting geese, rogue dogs, and one particularly imaginative fib about a feather-stuffed bed arriving from London. None of them held water — or feathers, for that matter.
An absurd but oddly unforgettable glimpse into the weirder corners of Victorian animal cruelty cases.
🎧 Whether you're a true crime devotee, a lover of Victorian drama, or simply curious how one ends up headfirst in a moral tub, this episode is not to be missed.

Before the Acid Bath Killer: Death in a Victorian Workhouse
News of the Times | Episode 538 |1842
Long before the notorious Acid Bath Killer horrified Britain, one quiet town faced its own chilling tragedy — not in some alleyway, but inside the walls of a Victorian workhouse. In Bromsgrove, 1842, a surgeon prescribed a sulphur bath to treat "the itch" among impoverished children. Nineteen were immersed. One never came out alive.
Was it a medical miscalculation? Or did neglect tip into something darker?
Join us as we revisit the original inquest and the harrowing details of a chemical treatment so potent, it scalded the skin from a child’s body. This is Victorian medicine at its most dangerous — a haunting echo of how society treated its most vulnerable.
🔍 Featuring original newspaper reports, inquest testimony, and expert accounts, this episode dives into one of the most shocking workhouse deaths of the 19th century — and the doctor who walked away unpunished.
🚨 Further Particulars: The Donkey Who Refused to Go
Meanwhile, in Worcester, a separate scandal unfolds. A four-legged escapee, impounded for the grievous offence of wandering into town, becomes the centre of a bureaucratic standoff — by simply refusing to move. Officials plead, owners disclaim, and hay disappears at a remarkable rate. Only the donkey emerges unbothered and well-fed.

The Murder That Stunned Victorian London — The Shocking Case of Mrs. Millson (1866)
News of the Times | Episode 537| 1866
Step into the gaslit streets of 1890s London, where scandal, betrayal, and murder collided in a case so sensational it gripped the entire city.
When Mrs. Millson’s tragic fate came to light, the press seized on every sordid detail — from whispered infidelities to the chilling evidence uncovered in the aftermath.
This is more than a Victorian murder story; it’s a glimpse into a world where reputations were everything, and one deadly night changed everything.
🔍 In Further Particulars: a decidedly less murderous — but equally eyebrow-raising — tale involving an unusual dispute, questionable judgment, and the sort of decision-making that makes you wonder whether common sense ever truly existed.
If you enjoy gripping true crime, historical scandal, and a touch of Victorian drama, this episode will have you hooked from the first word to the last.
🕯️ A documentary series exploring British criminal history through primary sources — ideal for viewers who enjoy history, forensic psychology, and courtroom drama without modern commentary or filler.

The Liverpool Doctor on Trial – Abortion, Deception, and Death | True Crime History
News of the Times | Episode 536 | 1934
In 1934 Liverpool, a respected doctor stood accused of a crime that shocked Britain. Two young woman lay dead, whispers of a secret procedure swirled, and the courtroom bristled with scandal, betrayal, and conflicting testimony.
Was this tragedy the result of medical malpractice, calculated deception… or something far more sinister?
🕰️ What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
The mysterious relationship between the doctor and his patient
The harrowing final hours before her death
Courtroom drama, damning evidence, and unexpected twists
How this case shaped public debate on morality, medicine, and women’s rights
And in our end of episode Further Particulars story, also from the same time period, an entirely different scandal — ghostly door-knockers, a nun with a lively social calendar, and bedclothes that refused to stay put.
Proof that, in 1930s Ireland, mischief could be just as newsworthy as murder. 👻

Escape from Strangeways: The Hammer Murder of Warder Webb (1888)
News of the Times | Episode 535 | 1876
🔨 A daring prison break, a brutal murder… and the most notorious escape in Strangeways history.
In January 1919, the walls of Manchester’s Strangeways Prison could not hold William Horwood, a career criminal with nothing left to lose. Armed with a hammer stolen from the prison workshop, Horwood made a desperate bid for freedom — and in the process, bludgeoned Warder James Owen to death.
What followed shocked Britain: a citywide manhunt, a terrified public, and sensational headlines chronicling every twist. But was this simply the act of a desperate man, or part of a calculated plan to outwit the law?
From the grim corridors of Strangeways to the narrow streets of industrial Manchester, this is the true story of violence, escape, and justice in post-war Britain.
📜 Featuring: rare contemporary newspaper reports, eyewitness accounts, the escape route in detail, and the dramatic conclusion that brought the case to an end.
Further Particulars:
Those inventive Victorians never did anything by halves—ballooning included. What began as a scientific flight across France ended with one man crash-landing in Belgium… completely nude.
Was it for aerodynamic reasons?
A sudden philosophical awakening?
Or simply a very French solution to a very Victorian problem?

The Woman in the Water Tub: The 1915 Murder of Carrie Jubb
News of the Times | Episode 534 | 1915
At 6 a.m. on a cold February morning, a young stable hand in Huddersfield made a horrifying discovery: a woman’s body, bruised and bloodied, was found kneeling headfirst in a horse’s water tub. Her name was Carrie Jubb, a woman of no fixed abode, with a troubled past—and no one to sound the alarm when she didn’t return home.
Who killed her? And why?
In this chilling Edwardian true crime case, we examine a life lived on the margins—of class, of safety, and of society’s concern.
With abusive partners, jealous exes, and shifting witness statements, Carrie’s story is one of silent suffering and systemic failure. No one was ever brought to trial. And her killer likely walked free.
⚖️ From newspaper accounts and inquest records, we piece together the last known movements of Carrie Jubb—and the circumstantial case that nearly led to justice.
🕯️ Further Particulars Segment
After the main case, we turn to a Victorian horror of a different sort:
💀 The Dangers of Overthinking.
In our bonus tale from 1879, a young American woman’s death is blamed not on arsenic or foul play—but on astronomy, watercolours, and excessive learning.
Prepare for a tragic warning from the annals of pseudoscience: ladies, beware—too much education may be… fatal.

The French Student Who Tried to Hire a Murderer — or Did He?
News of the Times | Episode 532 | 1876
In this true crime case from 1876, a young French student in Hertford is accused of hiring a drifter to murder his own parents with an air gun. But was Paul Bayart a cold-blooded conspirator—or the victim of a scam by a man with far more ambition than scruples?
📜 Featuring forged notes, poison research, family photographs, and a very dramatic disappearance before trial… this is one of the strangest cases ever to walk the line between parricide and fraud.
👮♂️ PLUS: In our end-of-episode Further Particulars, a drunken Victorian constable punches his sergeant, wrestles three colleagues, and attempts to strike the inspector—all while technically still on duty.
🔍 Highlights:
1876 courtroom drama from Hertford to Roubaix
Blackmail, forgery, and a very questionable £500 note
Bonus tale: “The Drunken Constable of Berkeley Square” (1872)

The Policeman Who Saw Jack the Ripper — Then Was Murdered in Whitechapel
News of the Times | Episode 531 |1900
Was Frances Coles the Ripper’s final victim?
In 1892, PC Ernest Thompson discovered her body still warm and bleeding in a dark Whitechapel archway. Some say he glimpsed Jack the Ripper himself that night. Others dismissed the killing as unrelated.
But contemporary newspapers strongly linked Coles to the Ripper murders, and Thompson’s testimony stood at the heart of the investigation.
Eight years later, Thompson would be brutally stabbed to death—in the same part of Whitechapel where he’d once stood over Frances Coles.
Coincidence? Or the final echo of a killer who vanished into myth?
This episode traces the forgotten arc of a man who may have seen the Ripper… and who met a fate hauntingly similar to one of the Ripper’s own victims.
📜 Based entirely on original newspaper reports, inquest testimony, and Victorian police records.
🗞️ Further Particulars:
Also in this episode — a most unusual legal hiccup: a Victorian juror who refused to sign the verdict because he didn’t understand what he was agreeing to. The judge was not amused… and neither was the foreman.
⏳ Step back into Victorian London and beyond — where the crimes are grim, the characters real, and the truth is often stranger than fiction.

The Shocking Case of James Tucker Who Brought a Gun to His Own Arrest
News of the Times | Episode 530 |1854
London, 1854. A disgraced salesman. A loaded pistol. A police station.
In this astonishing News of the Times episode, we follow the jaw-dropping case of James Tucker—a travelling conman who arrived at the station to answer charges of embezzlement… and instead opened fire.
What follows is one of the most brazen attempted murders in Victorian history, featuring:
A courtroom showdown with life and death on the table
A master betrayed by the very man he tried to reform
Bullet moulds, Spanish knives, and a pistol fired inside a police station
A sentence so severe it amounted to social erasure
But that’s not all. We also travel to 1893 Edinburgh, where a 20-year-old commercial traveller insists he legally married a 70-year-old widow (now in an asylum). Was it love—or something more sinister?
⚖️ Two shocking stories. One darkly compelling episode.
💥 Perfect for fans of Victorian crime, moral ambiguity, and the occasional rogue moustache.

Pushed to Her Death: Murder on London Bridge
News of the Times | Episode 529 | 1872
London, 1871. A woman lies crushed beneath a brewer’s dray on one of the city’s busiest bridges. Her final words? “My husband pushed me.”
In this chilling Victorian case, we follow the tragic final hours of Ann Pettingell, a wife abandoned, threatened, and ultimately killed — or so she claimed. Was her death an accident in the chaos of London Bridge, or the final act of a brutal campaign of neglect and intimidation?
👀 Inside this gripping episode:
A dying declaration that names her killer
Witnesses who saw the fatal shove
A husband who fled the scene — and resumed life with his mistress
A court trial that wrestles with intent, justice… and the role of women under Victorian law
And in our closing segment:
🥴 A drunken brawl in Mitcham, featuring shattered masonry, bruised shins, and one man’s philosophical stand against personal responsibility.
☕️ So brew a strong pot of tea, grab your notebook (or hobnobs), and join us for another unforgettable journey into the dark heart of 19th-century justice.

The Body in the Cupboard: A Mystery That Baffled Victorian London
News of the Times | Episode 528 |1868
In this chilling Victorian true crime, a decomposing body is discovered hidden in a cupboard beneath the stairs of a half-built house. With no missing persons report and only a single glove as evidence, the authorities must untangle a web of bizarre clues and duelling identities.
Was the victim an asylum escapee who believed himself already dead?
A vanished spirit merchant with secrets to hide?
Or someone else entirely?
🔍 Featuring:
Mysterious poisons & forensic puzzles
Conflicting widows & disputed scars
A coroner’s verdict that leaves more questions than answers
📰 Drawn from original 1860s newspaper accounts and inquest records, this astonishing case captures the fears and failures of Victorian mental health care — and a society unprepared for the shadows in its own cupboards.
🎭 PLUS:
In our Further Particulars segment, a church pew dispute escalates into holy fisticuffs in 1880s Wales. One farmer. One tailor. One divine dust-up over seating rights. (Yes, really.)

A woman found hanged.
A confession shouted in the street.
And a trial that left more questions than answers...
In this curious case from Victorian Hackney Wick, Margaret Ball — a strong, pregnant mother of two — is discovered hanging from the stair bannisters. Her young lodger, George Coulson, confesses immediately... yet something doesn't add up.
Was it murder?
A tragic suicide?
Or something far stranger?
Drawing from period newspapers and court records, we explore a deeply unsettling case that baffled Victorian investigators and still stirs debate today.

The Butler, the Gun, and the Judge: A Shocking Welsh Murder in 1876
News of the Times | Episode 526 | 1876
A trusted servant.
A quiet estate.
A double-barrelled gun.
And a judge who would not survive the day...
When the peaceful Dolaucothy estate is rocked by gunfire in August 1876, the crime that unfolds becomes one of the most shocking in Welsh Victorian history. Retired magistrate Mr Johnes is left fatally wounded, and his daughter clings to life. The man behind it all? His long-serving butler.
But was it sudden madness — or something more deliberate?
In this gripping episode, we uncover the dark path from resentment to murder, told entirely through first-hand newspaper accounts, courtroom testimony, and eyewitness statements. Join us as we unravel a tale of pride, rejection, and a man pushed too far.
🎩 Also in this episode:
Strange happenings at the Bull’s Head Inn — where ghosts ring bells, tap doors, and vanish into the walls.
A chilling mystery from 1930 you won’t want to miss.

Insane or Evil? The 1901 Murder of Emily Chapman at Hindhead
News of the Times | Episode 524 | 1901
Was it madness — or murder?
In the summer of 1901, the quiet village of Grayshott awoke to a scene of unimaginable horror. Emily Chapman, a mother of five, lay dead — brutally attacked in her own home. The killer? Her husband Walter: sub-postmaster, cabinet-maker, and now accused murderer.
This episode of News of the Times explores one of Edwardian England’s most shocking domestic tragedies. Using historical newspapers, eyewitness accounts, and courtroom testimony, we ask the haunting question: was Chapman truly insane… or simply evil?
🔪 A chilling case of jealousy, delusion, and violence
🧠 Did the court get it right—or miss the deeper truth?
📜 Original reports, strange confessions, and forgotten headlines
📍Also in today’s Further Particulars:
What happens when a best man kisses the bride a bit too soon in 1890s Essex? Clerical outrage, of course.

🔥 Murder by Fire: The Notting Hill Tragedy of 1881 | Ep522 | News of the Times
In Victorian London, fire could be a constant threat—but what if the flames were no accident?
On a quiet night in May 1881, a Notting Hill lodging house erupted into an inferno. Six people perished. One couple escaped unharmed—and fully dressed. Suspicion grew. Insurance claims were filed. And whispers turned into a murder trial that gripped the press and shocked the courts.
This gripping case follows William Nash and Anna Maria Wright from the flames of Portobello Road to the dock at the Old Bailey, as Victorian society tried to untangle the difference between misfortune... and murder.
🔍 Join us for a journey into:
Arson and insurance fraud
Victorian housing horrors
Suspicious escape stories
And a final twist that defied even the black cap of Justice Grove
👒 Stay to the end for “Further Particulars,” where a corset becomes the unexpected villain of a separate Victorian demise. Because in 1881, if it wasn’t fire, it was fashion.

Our First-Ever Q&A Special | Arsenic, Pirates & Victorian Mayhem
News of the Times | Episode 521s | 2025
You had questions. We had… tea, notes, and an unwise amount of confidence.
In this special episode, Robin fearlessly tackles viewer queries on everything from Victorian habits to pirate ethics, frying pan sorcery, and why so many 19th-century murderers owned top hats.
💬 Expect mildly factual answers, unapologetic hat-wearing, and a few too many thoughts about dairy-related crime. One answer involves a pirate cannon. We’re still not sure why.
This is News of the Times as you’ve never seen it before: unscripted, unrehearsed, and still clinging to proper punctuation.

The Goatfell Murder | Victorian Sociopath or Calculated Climber?
News of the Times | Episode 521 1889
In this gripping true crime tale from 1889, we follow mild-mannered London clerk Edwin Rose on what should have been a peaceful summer holiday to the Isle of Arran. Instead, he crosses paths with a charismatic stranger calling himself “Mr. Annandale” — a man who dresses well, speaks smoothly, and lies with alarming ease.
When Rose’s battered body is discovered hidden on the slopes of Goatfell, the hunt begins — not only for a killer, but for the truth behind a man with no past, multiple identities, and an eerie lack of conscience.
Was this a calculated murder?
A robbery gone wrong?
Or the work of a Victorian sociopath, who killed simply because he could?
🔍 Featuring:
A mountain climb with deadly consequences
A false name and a real murder
A thrilling manhunt across Scotland
And a courtroom drama soaked in suspicion
✨ Plus: In today’s “Further Particulars,” someone steals horse-plumes during a funeral. Because of course they do.

A Respectable Gentleman. A Sudden Shot. A Suspect in the Privy
News of the Times | Episode 520 | 1806
When a beloved dockyard figure is murdered in his own parlour, the streets of Rotherhithe whisper of robbery. But what unfolds is far murkier — involving fake drafts, vanishing money, and trousers hoisted just a little too late.
Was Richard Patch simply in the wrong privy at the wrong time… or was he orchestrating a murderous cover-up worthy of the gallows?
💼 Featuring:
Pistols, privies, and peculiar trousers
A maid with nerves of steel
One very dodgy draft
And the most suspicious bout of stomach trouble in legal history
⚖️ Follow the full case, from the first gunshot to the final drop of the gallows — with scandalous testimony, courtroom drama, and a twist you won’t want to miss.
🎩 PLUS: Stay to the end for Further Particulars — a Georgian scandal involving cross-dressing, bigamy, and an impressively vengeful crowd with good aim and a lot of fruit.

Terror at Bank Farm: The Tragic Case of Dennis O’Neill
News of the Times | Episode 518 | 1945
In 1945, 13-year-old Dennis O’Neill was found dead on a remote farm in Shropshire. Starved, beaten, and neglected — by foster parents approved by the state — his death shocked wartime Britain and exposed catastrophic failures in the child welfare system.
How could this happen under the nose of officialdom? Why was Dennis left to suffer, despite repeated warnings? And what did the explosive trial reveal about the people trusted with his care?
This is not just a tragic murder — it's the case that changed the law.
In this deeply researched episode, we uncover:
The harrowing truth of Bank Farm and the Goughs
The desperate efforts of Dennis’s birth mother to find her son
The media firestorm that followed
The courtroom drama that led to major reform in UK child protection
⚖️ Real history, real victims, and a legacy written in heartbreak.
And stay for our Further Particulars segment, featuring:

The Regent’s Park Murder of 1888
News of the Times | Episode 511 | 1888
While all eyes were fixed on the shadowy lanes of Whitechapel, murder found its way into the genteel heart of London.
In this gripping episode, we unravel the tragic and mysterious killing of Joseph Rumbold — a young printer, stabbed to death under the gaslights of Regent’s Park. Was it mistaken identity? Gang rivalry? Or something more sinister lurking in the shadows of respectable society?
Featuring period newspaper accounts and vivid testimony from the time, we walk through a case that stunned a city already on edge — from the moment of the crime to the courtroom’s final judgment.
And in our Further Particulars segment, we shine a sombre light on a grief-stricken mother’s desperate public plea to view the Ripper victims, believing one may be her missing daughter — a haunting reminder that not all horror wore a headline name.
☞ True Victorian crime
☞ Gang rivalries and mistaken identity
☞ Real newspaper accounts from 1888
☞ Forgotten voices, real testimonies

The Man Who Vanished: Whitechapel’s Other Attacker
News of the Times | Episode 510 | 1888
Before Jack the Ripper cast his long shadow over London, Whitechapel was already soaked in fear. In this gripping episode, we follow the shocking case of Richard Patterson, a dock labourer turned violent fugitive, whose stormy night of rage left two victims gashed and bleeding — and the police scrambling.
On 26 June 1888, just weeks before the Ripper’s infamous spree began, a thunderstorm roared over Grove Street. Amid the rain and lightning, a young woman — her throat slashed — stumbled into the street. Behind her, her brother, also brutally wounded. The man they named as their attacker? Her husband. Then… he vanished.
Patterson’s rampage, escape, and dramatic return stunned a city already teetering under the weight of poverty and panic. Though not a Ripper killing, this case was part of a rising tide of violence that left London terrified — long before the Ripper ever lifted his blade.
👉 Featuring original newspaper accounts, testimony from survivors, and the involvement of Inspector Reid (yes, that Reid), this true crime tale is a vivid, violent portrait of East End desperation.
✨ In our Further Particulars: While British detectives stumbled through the fog, American cities were already deploying telephone patrol boxes, dawn courtroom sessions, and telegraphed justice. A Pall Mall Gazette correspondent asks: Are the Americans beating us at our own game?

The Chilling Walthamstow Mystery That Shocked Victorian London 1888
News of the Times | Episode 509| 1888
London, 1888 — the Ripper loomed large in the East End’s imagination… but just a few miles away, another case was unfolding. One with no mutilations, no blood-stained alleys—just a quiet note, a mysterious bottle, and a young woman who never came home.
When newlywed Annie French stepped into a local chemist’s parlour in Walthamstow, she expected pain relief—perhaps a friendly chat. Two hours later, she was unconscious. The air reeked of chloroform, the till was empty, and William Barber, the nervous chemist’s assistant, had vanished.
Was it a botched procedure? A tragic accident? Or something far more sinister?
Join us as we unravel one of Victorian London’s most haunting and strangely overlooked mysteries—where rumour ran wild, evidence evaporated, and a case of suspected murder was lost in the shadow of Whitechapel’s terror.

Was This the Ripper’s Comeback? The 1889 Whitechapel Murder
News of the Times | Episode 508 | 1889
Welcome to News of the Times — where sinister shadows of history refuse to stay buried.
In this chilling episode, we return to the gaslit alleys of Victorian London. It’s July 1889, and another woman is found brutally slain in Castle Alley — her throat cut, her body mutilated. The location? Just streets away from Jack the Ripper’s infamous killing grounds.
Was this the return of the Ripper himself?
Or a cunning copycat exploiting London’s darkest fears?
Meet Alice McKenzie — a hard-working washerwoman, not the typical “unfortunate” cast by the press. Her quiet life and sudden, savage death stoked panic among police and public alike. With suspects ranging from madmen to maritime butchers, and a new letter ominously signed “Jack the Ripper”, the streets of Whitechapel descended once more into dread.
Was the killer interrupted mid-mutilation?
Did a foreign cattle-boat butcher slip back into the fog?
And what chilling "further particulars" did The Pall Mall Gazette reveal about Whitechapel’s women?
Featuring the tragic letter of Annie Chapman’s sister — this episode pieces together the forgotten horror of the Ripper’s suspected return.

Bradford’s Jack the Ripper: The Mutilation of John Gill
News of the Times | Episode 507 | 1888
In December 1888, the brutalised body of 8-year-old John Gill sent shockwaves through Bradford — a young boy mutilated and arranged in a grotesque parcel, echoing the horrors of Jack the Ripper just weeks earlier. As panic swept the streets, suspicion fell on a familiar milkman, and London detectives were summoned to examine the boy’s remains for Ripperesque parallels. The case exploded into national headlines, yet despite the chilling circumstantial evidence, the trial ended in discharge… and the crime remains an open wound in Victorian criminal history.
Further Particulars:
Also in Bradford, a young woman with a flair for drama is arrested for sending "Jack the Ripper" letters — to the press, to the police, and presumably anyone with a postal address. Her motive? “To make a sensation.” And she certainly did.

The Ripper Fever Spreads: The Gateshead Mutilation Murder of 1888
News of the Times | Episode 506 |1888
In the swirling fear of 1888, with the shadow of Jack the Ripper stretching far beyond Whitechapel, terror came to Birtley.
This episode brings us to the unsettling murder of 28-year-old Jane Beatmoor—a quiet woman in delicate health, found savagely mutilated at the foot of a railway embankment in the North East of England. It was the same day the inquest closed on Mary Ann Nichols, one of the Ripper's canonical victims. And with that eerie timing and grotesque wounds, panic erupted. Had the Ripper moved north?
As headlines screamed and Scotland Yard dispatched men northwards—including the very doctor who examined Annie Chapman—the mystery thickened. But what emerged was something different: a tale of passion, betrayal, flight, and a chillingly personal crime that stoked the fires of a Ripper-frenzied public.
And in our Further Particulars:
A husband returns from America to find his home sold, furniture gone, and his family shattered—manipulated by a predatory opportunist living with his teenage daughter. It's Victorian life seen through a darker, more domestic lens: seduction, starvation, and a family's ruination at the hands of one man with sinister motives.

Jack's Last Shadow? - Whitechapel Chronicles 6
News of the Times Episode 505 | 1888
By November 1888, the East End of London was no stranger to fear.
The shock of earlier murders had settled into a grim, uneasy silence—until one final killing shattered it completely.
Behind the locked door of a tiny room at 13 Miller’s Court, Mary Jane Kelly was found horrifically mutilated. This wasn’t just another Ripper murder. It was an escalation—grotesque, personal, and chilling in its precision.
In this final episode of The Whitechapel Chronicles, we follow the tragic final hours of Mary Jane Kelly—young, vibrant, and known for her kindness—and the night that transformed her story into legend.
What the killer left behind was unlike anything seen before.
He had time. He had privacy. And he had a terrible purpose.
We’ll explore original newspaper reports, inquest testimonies, and the ripple effect her death had on a city already paralyzed by fear.
A failed bloodhound trail. A heart gone missing.
And a question that still lingers:
Was Mary Jane Kelly the Ripper’s final victim—or simply his most brutal?

One Night, Two Murders - Whitechapel Chronicles5
News of the Times Episode 504 | 1888
September 30th, 1888: London awoke to horror.
In less than an hour, two women—Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes—were murdered in separate locations. The press dubbed it “The Double Event.” For the people of Whitechapel, it was the night terror took hold.
In this episode of The Whitechapel Chronicle, we follow the chilling events of that night through the words of newspapers, police reports, and public outcry. From Dutfield’s Yard to Mitre Square, the killer moved quickly—and with escalating brutality. Stride’s murder may have been interrupted. Eddowes wasn’t so fortunate: her body was mutilated with surgical precision.
As the city reeled, fear turned to fury. Crowds gathered at the crime scenes. The police faced growing criticism. The first letters signed “Jack the Ripper” arrived—mocking the authorities and vowing more bloodshed.
We explore how a city spiralled into chaos: vigilante patrols on the streets, political pressure mounting, and newspapers demanding resignations at the highest levels.
And in our end of episode "Further Particulars" segment:
A Victorian courtroom scandal erupts as a young greengrocer's marriage unravels — revealing hidden children, betrayal, and a wife living under another man’s name. Accusations fly... but who’s telling the truth?

Leather Apron and the City on Edge - Whitechapel Chronicles4
News of the Times Episode 503 | 1888
As fear gripped Whitechapel after the brutal murder of Annie Chapman, the press gave that fear a name: Leather Apron.
This episode of The Whitechapel Chronicles follows the frantic days after Chapman's body was found—when suspicion fell on local bootmaker John Pizer, infamously dubbed “Leather Apron.” His arrest, driven by media frenzy, raised more questions than it answered.
Using only 1888 newspaper reports, we trace the missteps of the investigation: false leads, public panic, and a press beginning to question not just the killer, but the world that let him flourish. Whitechapel wasn’t just the setting—it was part of the story.
Plus, in our Further Particulars segment: a lighter (and stranger) slice of 1888 life with a tale of frog swallowing. Yes, really.
Maybe don’t listen over breakfast.😉

The Butcher Escalates - Whitechapel Chronicles 3
News of the Times Episode 502 | 1888
By September 1888, fear in Whitechapel had turned to full-blown panic. When Annie Chapman’s mutilated body was found in a narrow yard on Hanbury Street, it became clear—these murders were no longer isolated horrors, but part of something far more chilling.
In this episode, we revisit the scene through the eyes of Victorian newspapers, witnesses, and police reports.
A whispered sound before the violence.
A cryptic message: “Five: Fifteen more, and then I give myself up.”
A killer growing bolder.
False arrests, whispered rumours of “Leather Apron,” organs missing with surgical precision—the East End was unraveling.
And in today's Further Particulars: a bizarre 1888 hoax involving 80 people, a ruined farmer, and a vanishing £6,000.

Blood in Buck's Row - Whitechapel Chronicles2
News of the Times Episode 501| 1888
Episode Two: The Murder of Mary Ann Nichols
August 31, 1888 — a woman is found brutally murdered on a quiet East End street. Her name is Mary Ann Nichols, known as Polly, and her death marks a turning point in Whitechapel’s descent into fear.
This episode dives into the chaos that followed Polly’s killing: eerie silences, vanishing cries for help, and a bloodied crime scene that offered more mystery than clarity. Was the killer a lone madman? A ruthless gang? Or something far worse, stalking the gaslit alleys?
Using only newspapers from the time, we uncover the frantic early theories, shifting eyewitness accounts, and the public hysteria surrounding “Leather Apron” and the feared High Rip Gang.
Polly's murder wasn't just a tragedy.
It was a rupture. A warning.
The first real glimpse of what was to come.
And in today’s Further Particulars: a courtroom case with twilight breakfasts, flaming carpets, and one very peculiar gentleman indeed.

Before Jack: The Cases They Dismissed - Whitechapel Chronicles1
News of the Times Episode 500 | 1888
"Before the name carved itself into history… before the letters, before the myth… there was only blood.”
Step into the smoke-choked alleys of 1888 Whitechapel, where dread slinks behind every corner and the gaslight barely pierces the gloom. In this premiere episode of Whitechapel Chronicles, we delve into a London not yet haunted by Jack the Ripper — but already gripped by his shadow.
The world remembers the Canonical Five. But before them came other names, almost forgotten:
Ada Wilson. Annie Millwood. Emma Smith. Martha Turner.
Women struck down with ferocity, their stories scattered and dismissed — victims of what the press called chance, what the police called coincidence. But something far more insidious was taking root.
Drawing solely from the newspapers of the era, we retrace the mounting horror that clawed through the East End long before the Ripper’s signature arrived. There were suspects — soldiers with bloodied hands, women with secrets, whispers in every tenement and tavern. Testimonies changed. Witnesses vanished. And still, the city looked away…
Until it was too late.
This is not yet the legend.
This is the forewarning.
And in our Further Particulars segment: it is the year 1887, and the Old Bailey hears a most peculiar case — a widow sues a dead man for breach of promise. Truth, as ever in Victorian England, is stranger than fiction.

Murder, Matrimony & Misfortune: The Curious Case of Mrs Portbury
News of the Times Episode 499 | 1872
In 1871 London, scandal brews as the respectable widow of a beloved doctor, Amelia Muldola, shocks society by marrying her 17-year-old groom, Henry Portbury. What begins as a salacious romance spirals into a Victorian nightmare: theft, kidnapping, and ultimately—matricide.
When Amelia’s fortune vanishes, and her children are taken by the courts, chaos erupts. A courtroom circus, deceitful oaths, and a violent family feud culminate in the death of her mother under deeply suspicious circumstances.
Was it a tragic accident or a calculated killing?
This tangled web of greed, betrayal, and scandal gripped the Victorian press.
And in today's end of episode Further [particulars segment, we have a darkly humorous bonus tale from the gallows that only Georgian / Victorian black comedy could deliver.

Hidden Wealth, Brutal Death: The Murder That Rocked Blaw Wearie
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
When greed turns deadly in the Scottish hills
In today’s episode, we travel back to 1844, to the windswept isolation of Blaw Wearie, near West Calder, Scotland.
A remote and quiet community is shaken to its core by the brutal murder of 60-year-old John Geddes — a solitary man, whispered to be sitting on hidden wealth.
When neighbours grow concerned after days without sight of him, they force open his door... and uncover a scene of unthinkable violence. Geddes is found with his eye crushed into his fractured skull, ribs shattered, nose and finger severed. It is a scene of sheer horror.
What happened in that lonely house? And who could carry out such a savage killing?
Then, in our end-of-episode "Further Particulars" feature: the year is 1801. A mysterious teak box washes ashore. Inside — wrapped in tea leaves — lies a corpse.

The Blood-Covered Publican: David Owen’s Rampage in 1818 London
News of the Times Episode 497 | 1818
Step back in time to the year 1818, in the quiet suburb of Edmonton, North London—where a shocking and violent event gripped the local community.
David Owen, a 50-year-old widower and well-known publican, was regarded as a mild and peaceful man. But one day, in a fit of apparent madness, he arrives at his sister’s home armed with several knives—and attempts to kill her, her husband, and their maid.
As chaos erupts inside the house, it takes a team of policemen and a crowd of neighbours—wielding crowbars—to force their way in and confront Owen, who stands blood-soaked and frenzied, like a man possessed.
What could have caused such a horrifying transformation in a man once thought so unassuming? And what buried seed from his past may have led to this moment of horror?
📌 In our “Further Particulars” segment at the end of the episode, we explore a bizarre court case from 1888: What is the cost of a wife? At that time, the going rate was roughly £330 in today’s money. But what happens when the first husband—who sold his wife—tries to renegotiate the price?

The Mysterious Tragic Affair at Kidwelly
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
Southwest Wales, 1881.
Eleven-year-old John Thomas sets off on a simple errand — to deliver a pair of shoes made by his father, a local shoemaker. He completes his task, collects ten shillings, and begins the short walk home.
But he never arrives.
Along the way, John encounters two local boys — David Mazey, aged 12, and his younger brother Benjamin, aged 10. A neighbor watches him enter the Mazey home… and that is the last time John Thomas is seen alive.
What follows is a disturbing tale that shocked Victorian Britain:
John's body is discovered in a nearby ditch — a place that had already been searched the day before. His small frame is battered, broken, and drained of blood, with injuries so horrific they defy belief — especially if inflicted by children.
The case becomes national news, not only for its sheer brutality, but for the eerie disappearance and reappearance of the boy’s body… and the disturbing youth of the suspected murderers.
And in our “Further Particulars” segment: a Victorian tragedy unfolds — a young woman dies shortly after childbirth. But days later, a horrifying truth emerges… she was buried alive.

The Case of the Frightful Outrage Near Norwich
News of the Times Episode 494 | 1873
1873. A quiet hamlet just six miles south of Norwich, where the silence of the night is shattered by cries of murder. An 11-year-old girl, Lucy Goodrum, barefoot and in her nightdress, desperately pounds on the door of the village washerwoman, begging for help.
Inside the house she fled from lies a horrifying scene: Edna Mitchell, a widow in her 60s who had taken Lucy into her care, is found barely alive—allegedly the victim of a brutal axe attack. The accused? Her own son-in-law, Thomas Mitchell, a local carpenter with seven children of his own, and a man whose financial ties to Edna may provide a grim motive.
We explore the origins of this dark tale
And in our “Further Particulars” segment:
We cross the Atlantic to 1874 America, where a new temperance movement is taking shape. Women, driven by a moral mission, are storming saloons—literally lying down on barroom floors in prayer and protest—to convince the public to give up alcohol. Because you know, when you have time on your hands in the wild west, what else would you do?

Was It Suicide—or Murder by His Own Brother? | True Crime Case of Dr. William Lyddon
News of the Times Episode 493 | 1891
When Dr. William Lyddon is found lifeless on the floor of his stepmother’s bedroom, all signs initially point to a tragic overdose. But as investigators dig deeper, the story begins to unravel—revealing a twisted web of jealousy, greed, and long-standing family tensions.
What begins as a possible case of morphia self-poisoning quickly evolves into something far more sinister. Could this be a modern echo of Cain and Abel, or a bitter rivalry like Richard the Lionheart and Prince John?
This chilling case captured national headlines, raising the ultimate question:
Did Dr. Lyddon take his own life—or was he murdered by someone within his own family?
And in our “Further Particulars” segment:
A recently widowed man in his 60s stuns his conservative neighborhood by marrying his 20-year-old servant. The scandal that follows was senstaional in the village!

The Curious Case of the Perryman Affair
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
In a modest lodging house, tensions run high between a mother and her son—Frances and Thomas Perryman—both known for their frequent clashes over money and mutual struggles with alcohol. But one February day, something much darker unfolds.
Lodgers hear disturbing sounds from the Perrymans' room. Thomas is seen frantically rushing in and out. When concerned neighbors investigate, they discover a horrifying scene: Frances Perryman, dead—apparently strangled.
What initially appears to be a clear-cut case soon spirals into a complex mystery of guilt, motive, and even a whodunnit—ultimately claiming another tragic victim: the suspect’s own brother.
We delve into this twisted tale that exposes the harsh realities of life among the lower classes in Victorian London.
And in our “Further Particulars” segment, we explore the strange case of a prominent flat-earther who ends up in court after a bet - is the world round or flat - does not go as he believed.

Poisoner in the Family: The Dark Tale of Ellen Heesom
News of the Times Episode 491 | 1878
In today’s story we’re going back to Cheshire in the year 1878, where beneath the quiet surface of Warrington, a dark and deadly secret is about to be revealed.
It begins in late November 1877 with the sudden and tragic death of Lydia Sykes, aged 59, while visiting her daughter Ellen Heesom and her family. In good health when she arrived, Lydia became violently ill within hours and, despite receiving the usual treatments, passed away the very next day.
Her sudden death raised alarm bells — not only because of its swiftness, but because it echoed a tragedy just six weeks earlier: the death of Ellen’s 12-month-old daughter, Sarah Heesom.
Growing unease among neighbours and authorities led Lydia’s long-time doctor to take action. Disturbed by the circumstances, he requested an autopsy — and what followed uncovered a disturbing pattern of death within the family.
Soon, another daughter’s untimely passing was recalled… and the investigation took a chilling turn that would eventually draw in none other than Dr. Joseph Bell, the brilliant analyst widely referenced as the inspiration behind Sherlock Holmes himself.
But before we close, in our end of episode "Further Particulars" segment, we’ll shift gears and head into Victorian society for a lighter, if not slightly cruel tale — that of an unlucky amateur boxer who steps into the ring with a champion... only to become the laughingstock of his neighbourhood after defeat. Did his community rally behind him? Not quite.

The Matricide in Chisenhale Street
News of the Times Episode 490 | 1873
A warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions, quoted from original 19th-century newspaper accounts
Today, we journey back to Liverpool, 1873, where a crime of unspeakable brutality shocked Victorian society — a son accused of the cold-blooded murder of his own mother.
There were no pleas of insanity. No haze of drink to blame. What unfolded was an act so savage, so devoid of compassion, it can be described only as evil.
The details stunned the public: her face, witnesses said, was left looking like pulp. Even the presiding judge, hardened by years on the bench, was visibly shaken.
And in keeping with our ongoing theme of mothers, in all their forms, today’s 'Further Particulars' story features a curious case from 1894 — a man who took out insurance on his mother-in-law… and nine years later was rather annoyed that she had the audacity to still be alive. Could he get his premium refunded?

The Case of The Vengeful Grandmother
News of the Times Episode 489 | 1874
Frances Stewart, 42, lives with her daughter, son-in-law, and their one-year-old child. But life under one roof has become tense. Frances, whispered to have a drinking problem, has worn out her welcome.
The young family makes a decision: they’re moving to new lodgings—and Frances is not coming with them.
What happens next is shocking.
Determined to express her heartbreak in the most devastating way, Frances disappears from the house… taking her infant grandson with her.
Left behind is a chilling note:
“We shall soon be in the water.”
What begins as a suspected abduction quickly unravels into something far more harrowing. Frances is eventually found—but she refuses to reveal where the child is. Not to the authorities. Not even to her own daughter.
Days drag on. There are whispers. Possible sightings. Then—silence.
Until the River Thames speaks.
This tragic case gripped Victorian England and was considered one of the first of its kind.
In this episode, we explore the heartbreaking background, the crime itself, and the dramatic courtroom verdict.
And stay tuned for our “Further Particulars” case, where we leap ahead to 1894—and the astonishing tale of a real live mermaid said to have been caught by accident.
If you're in the United States, you might just find her… at the Smithsonian Museum. We tell the strange and salty story.😉

James Gillon, a gardener from Scotland, allegedly turned on his sister with a knife and razor—over a breakfast dispute and a trip to Brighton. The result? A severed spine... and a family shattered.
What truly happened that morning?
And how did a sibling bond twist into something so violent?
In today's emd of episode “Further Particulars” segment, we are in Hyde Park, 1900—where free speech meets fierce resistance.

The Case of Backstabbing Henry Bevan
News of the Times Episode 487 | 1887
In today’s episode, we journey back to the year 1887—Crewe, Cheshire. A modest labourer, Henry Griffiths, returns home for a quiet midday meal… only to stumble upon a scene of unimaginable horror.
His wife lies savagely beaten, ribs shattered and torn from her spine—as though someone had trampled her with brutal intent. Beside her, nine-year-old Mary—his niece—clings to life, battered nearly beyond recognition, the fireplace tongs used in the attack now twisted and warped from the force.
But before slipping once more into unconsciousness, young Mary names her attacker: her own half-brother, Henry Bevan.
Today, we peel back the layers of this chilling case: the crime, the investigation, the motives, and the verdict that followed.
And in our ‘Further Particulars’—we jump ahead to 1910, where whispers are circulating in government halls… Nurses, it seems, are offering massages of a most unorthodox kind—and those receiving such pleasures are finding themselves the targets of a cunning blackmail scheme…

Murderous Mary Brophy
News of the Times Episode 486 | 1886
In today’s episode, we journey back to 1886 Ireland, where a bitter sibling rivalry within the struggling Brophy family takes a shockingly violent turn.
The Brophys are a large, impoverished family—two older sons, two younger boys, a daughter, and 23-year-old Mary Brophy, the eldest. But it’s Mary’s turbulent relationship with her 18-year-old brother Timothy that becomes antagonistic —and ultimately, horrifying.
Their animosity isn'ta secret. The two are known to come to blows—witnessed not only by family, but by neighbors as well.
But then comes the night everything changed resulting is one of the most brutal crimes the community would ever witness.
Timothy Brophy was found with 18 stab wounds, his tongue cut out, and multiple blows from both hatchet and knife. A scene so savage, no local crime since has rivaled its sheer horror.
We delve into this chilling tale of hatred, revenge, and familial violence, a case that haunted the region for decades.
https://youtu.be/0v5BCjOFEj8
And don’t miss today’s End of Episode Further Particulars—a peculiar case where fashion nearly leads to death. But the question remains: who’s really to blame?

The Sinister Mr Salmon
News of the Times Episode 484 | 1900
Today, we take you back to East London in the year 1900, to the working-class district of Bow—a modest but respectable community.
At the heart of our story is Lucy Smith, her husband, and their young daughter, living a seemingly peaceful and content life. In a gesture of generosity, the couple invites Lucy’s down-on-his-luck cousin, Sampson Salmon, to lodge with them. Mr. Smith even helps him find work.
But goodwill soon turns to terror.
Sampson’s behavior takes a dark and disturbing turn—his mood swings intensify, his threats grow more violent, and it becomes clear that a dangerous obsession with Lucy is at play. Fueled by alcohol and jealousy, Sampson is ultimately forced out of the house.
The family believes the nightmare is behind them.
But it’s not.
Sampson returns—this time with a murderous intent that shocks even the most hardened detectives. What follows is a gruesome crime, a severed head, and a trial that hinges on the question of guilt... or insanity.
Will the jury believe Sampson was mad—or will he be held fully accountable?
And stay tuned for our "Further Particulars" segment at the end of the episode, where we uncover a chilling tale of a blood-spattered phantom with a knack for recovering lost objects... in a haunted house!

The Killing in Couty Mayo
News of the Times Episode 482 | 1881
n today’s episode, we journey to Balla, County Mayo, in the year 1881 — a quiet Irish village soon to be rocked by a brutal and deeply disturbing crime.
The body of Edward Lavelle, a local laborer recently returned from England, is discovered — his lifeless form bearing the marks of savage blows and multiple stab wounds, believed to be inflicted with a hay pitchfork. The attack is nothing short of frenzied.
But what shocks the community most? The alleged culprits: Edward’s own wife, Mary Lavelle, and their two children, Edward and Catherine.
In this episode, we uncover the chilling details of the murder, the desperate attempts to cover it up, and the investigation that followed. It’s a tale of betrayal, family secrets, and a crime that left a lasting stain on a small Irish town.
And in today’s Further Particulars segment — a bit late for Good Friday — we bring you a charming and unexpected tale from Wye: the story of an orphaned wild rabbit who becomes a local celebrity with a taste for cake and stout. Yes, you heard that right — cake and stout. A delightful Edwardian curiosity to lighten the mood after https://youtu.be/z1jvqgo9dJUtoday’s grim tale.

Tragic Love Story Unfolds at Blackburn Mill in 1912
News of the Times Episode 481 | 1912
Welcome to today’s episode. We’re going back to the year 1912, in the bustling industrial town of Blackburn, Lancashire — a place known for its weaving mills and working-class spirit.
Our story centers on 18-year-old Alice, a young mill worker who has been seeing 22-year-old Arthur, her co-worker, for just over a month. Their courtship seemed innocent enough — until Alice decides she no longer feels the same way. What follows is a devastating turn of events that shook the town to its core.
This wasn’t just any breakup. It led to a crime so tragic that it captured national attention, with locals rallying behind young Arthur and even a petition reaching the hands of Queen Mary herself. But would royal intervention be enough?
We’ll explore the background, the relationship, the crime, and the shocking aftermath of a love story gone horribly wrong.
And stay tuned for our “Further Particulars” segment at the end of the episode, where we head to Wales — also in 1912 — for a light-hearted courtroom tale involving a town crier and some particularly wicked chickens. It’s a case full of Edwardian charm, rural eccentricity, and a good dose of humor.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The Grimsby Murder of 1887
News of the Times Episode 480 | 1887
In today’s episode, we travel back to 1887 in Grimsby — a quiet, murder-free port town... or at least it was. The last known murder here took place in 1831
Sarah Ann and her husband Richard, a fish trade worker, were no strangers to conflict. Their relationship was turbulent. Six months prior, Richard had been taken to court and convicted of abusing Sarah Ann. He served time and was ordered to pay her maintenance, while she moved back in with her mother.
But Richard wasn’t ready to let go.
One fateful day, he purchased a second-hand gun and ammunition, waited for Sarah Ann as she returned from her daily chores, and demanded she come back to live with him. When she hesitated, Richard pulled the trigger — not once, but five times. One shot, chillingly, was fired execution-style.
The twist? His defense: she had it coming, based on suspicions of an affair. Will the jury buy it? Or will Victorian justice side with Sarah Ann?
And in our bonus case at the end of the episode — an attempted exorcism... involving a ghost that can't spell. It seems to work... until the ghost comes back, and this time, it’s not alone.

Investigating the Mysterious Death of Mary Jenkins
News of the Times Episode 479 | 1920
Welcome to today’s episode—set in 1920s Wales.
At the quiet Cross Hands Inn, nestled about ten miles from Carmarthen and run by married couple Mary and Griffith Jenkins, tragedy strikes. In the early morning hours, 33-year-old Mary Jenkins is found fully clothed, lying lifeless on a bed. The scene sends shockwaves through the small, tight-knit community.
At first, her death appears to be natural—her husband suggests heart failure. But the truth is far more sinister. An autopsy reveals extensive bruising to her abdomen and thighs, along with three fractured cartilage rings in her windpipe. Mary was strangled.
So who was responsible — and why?
Today, we dig deep into a chilling case that shattered the peace of rural Wales.
And stay tuned for our "Further Particulars" segment at the end of the episode, where we’ll explore a curious report from the same era — an unusual tale of a blood donor and the bizarre connections he begins to experience with each recipient of his donation.

The Chilling Story Of The 1920 Ipswich Murder Trial
News of the Times Episode 478 | 1920
In this episode, we delve into the harrowing and heart-breaking case of Mrs Howard — a woman in her 30s, mother to a four-year-old child, and working as a housekeeper — whose life was violently cut short. Her body was found discarded beneath a railway fence near Ipswich, brutally murdered, her skull crushed by repeated blows from a blunt weapon. It was a death both cruel and callous.
As detectives dig deeper, a curious detail emerges: before taking on housekeeping work, Mrs. Howard had been employed as a tram conductress on the Ipswich tramways. This seemingly mundane part of her past may hold the key to understanding the motive behind her murder.
What’s more — Mrs Howard was pregnant.
This tragic tale echoes the precarious position many pregnant women and their estranged partners found themselves in throughout Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian times — where societal judgment, secrecy, and desperation often collided with devastating results.
And in our "Further Particulars" segment at the end of the episode, we bring you an astonishing true story from 1886: a frail woman left behind aboard a vessel during a fierce North Sea storm. With the crew either swept away or lost trying to save others, her miraculous solo survival became front-page news and a legend in maritime lore.
Join us as we uncover the grim details, the societal shadows, and the human stories behind both these unforgettable tales.

What Really Happened In The Clonbrook Murder Case?
News of the Times Episode 477 | 1902
In 1902 Ireland, a chilling crime captured international headlines and left one haunting question hanging in the air—who was truly guilty?
Mary Taylor, a 40-year-old mother of two, was trapped in a loveless marriage with her husband John, a coal carter. She was open about her hatred for him. But what began as whispers of marital misery soon spiralled into something far darker.
Enter Joseph Taylor—a 25-year-old man with whom Mary was allegedly having an affair. Just five weeks before a shocking crime unfolded, Joseph walked into a police station with a grim confession: Mary had asked him to murder her husband.
So, who orchestrated the deed? Was Joseph a pawn in a calculated plan—or was he acting alone, fuelled by his own motives?
This scandalous tale stirred debate across borders and brought one explosive question to centre stage: who really held the guilt?
In today’s episode, we dive deep into the twisted backdrop, the crime itself, and the verdict that stunned many.
And stick around for our "Further Particulars" segment at the end—where we explore a case that’s less about death and taxes, and more about ghosts and taxes. One man claimed his grand haunted mansion deserved a tax break... all thanks to some unwelcome spectral roommates.

Joseph Auerman's Descent Into Debt And Murder
News of the Times Episode 475 | 1806
In today’s episode, we dive into a gripping tale from the year 1806—a story of mounting debt, quiet desperation, and a man pushed to his limits. Once a respected family man and a diligent baker, he’s now hunted by a relentless bill collector who seems to take pleasure in his downfall.
When tragedy strikes, the court is left to decide: was it murder… or manslaughter?
It’s a case unlike our usual stories, but its themes—financial pressure, moral struggle, and justice—feel just as relevant today.
And then, we’re off to Ireland, where the Georgian theme continues with a chilling legend. If you ever find yourself staying in a grand Irish castle, beware the face in the window… an eerie omen said to foretell death.

Uncovering the Haunting Truth Behind the Walsoken Tragedy Case
News of the Times Episode 474 | 1885
Welcome to today’s episode — where we go back to the year 1885, deep in the countryside of Norfolk, England...
Bathsheba Goodale bursts from her home in a panic, pleading for help — her husband, Robert, is threatening to kill her. The village, all too familiar with the couple’s long-standing and volatile relationship, watches as things seem to settle once again... for now.
But then — Bathsheba vanishes.
As neighbors and family frantically search for her, Robert appears oddly calm, repeatedly insisting she’s fine. That is, until someone notices the water drawn from the well on their property... has turned a disturbing shade of red.
This chilling case of murder would shock the village — but what truly made it unforgettable was the botched execution that followed, where the prisoner was accidentally decapitated in front of onlookers.
And in today’s "Further Particulars" — a bizarre discovery from around the same time: a buried doctor is found to have been secretly replaced by... a 200-pound hog. Was it a prank? A cover-up? Or, as many claimed, an act of divine intervention?
This is one for the books — and for the cemetery records.

Uncovering The Shocking Truth Behind Edinburgh's 1818 Murder
News of the Times Episode 473 | 1818
In today’s episode, we travel back to Edinburgh in 1818, where the chilling case of a missing 8-year-old boy unfolds. When his body is finally discovered, the gruesome truth is undeniable—he has been in the hands of surgeons, used for dissection.
Regular viewers will know that the Hollywood version of Burke and Hare as mere grave robbers is pure fiction. In reality, they were ruthless serial killers who preyed on society’s most vulnerable, smothering their victims to leave no trace before selling the bodies to medical schools for dissection and the training of future doctors.
But this disturbing case predates Burke and Hare by a full decade and was infamous in its time. Could it have even served as inspiration for their later crimes?
We’ll uncover the background, the crime, the verdict, and the eerie conclusion to this macabre tale from Georgian Scotland.
And if that wasn’t creepy enough, today’s second story takes us to Ireland, where someone has made the grave mistake of cutting down a sacred banshee bush—unleashing the relentless, ghostly wails of a very displeased spirit.

The Case of the Murder of Mary Ann Weems
News of the Times Episode 472 | 1818
Welcome to today’s episode, where we journey back to Cambridgeshire in 1818.
Our story follows Thomas Weems, a young man from the lower social class who believed life had dealt him a cruel hand. After a brief affair with Mary Ann Dixon of Wendy, Cambridgeshire, Mary Ann claimed she was pregnant with Thomas’s child. Under the harsh customs of the time, the parish authorities gave Thomas an ultimatum: marry Mary Ann or face imprisonment.
Reluctantly, Thomas did what was expected—he married her. However, driven by resentment, he soon abandoned Mary Ann and fled to Edmonton, seeking a new life. There, he met another young woman who quickly captured his heart. But bound by his existing marriage, Thomas was unable to pursue this new love.
What followed was a scandal that gripped the nation, making headlines well beyond the local papers—a rare feat in those days. The story gained even more infamy due to the macabre, Frankenstein-like experiments conducted on Thomas’s corpse after his death, giving the tale a chilling twist reminiscent of Mary Shelley’s gothic horror.
In this episode, we’ll unravel the full story: from the troubled romance and the crime that followed, to the shocking verdict and the gruesome fate of Thomas’s body.
And keeping with the eerie theme, our “further particulars” segment explores a chilling case from the same era—a woman whose prophetic dream foretold a real-life murder.

Exploring The Kingsland Murders Of 1890 In Victorian London
News of the Times Episode 471 | 1890
In today's episode, we step back in time to the unforgiving streets of Victorian East End London—a place where crime was a brutal fact of life and gangs ruled with ruthless violence. Long before Jack the Ripper became infamous, the area was already plagued by relentless lawlessness. Newspaper reports from the era reveal a grim reality: murders were so common, they sometimes occurred almost weekly.
In this episode, we uncover the chilling story of the Kingsland Murder, a shocking crime that shook the district in August 1890. It all began in a local pub, where Walter Hargan, a former soldier, had a fateful encounter with a gang of thugs. When the confrontation spilled into the streets, Hargan, in a desperate fight for his life, shot and killed two of his attackers.
Dubbed the "Kingsland Tragedy", the case became a media sensation, filling the papers for weeks with tales of witness intimidation, false testimony, and ordinary people caught in a web of violence and scandal.
Join us as we dive into this gripping true crime tale—a haunting glimpse into the darker side of Victorian London.
And stick around for our "Further Particulars" segment at the end of the episode, where we uncover a bizarre story from 1899 involving Hyde Park Cemetery, a mysteriously buried cat, and a strange connection to ancient hieroglyphics!

The Murder of George Samuel Little - A Locked Room Mystery
News of the Times Episode 469 | 1856
Welcome to today’s episode, where we travel back to Dublin in 1856.
A railway cashier is discovered brutally mutilated in a locked room—with no sign of the key or the grisly tools used to carry out the savage attack. The shocking scene leaves both the police and clairvoyants baffled, unable to explain the seemingly impossible crime.
But then, a woman steps forward and points the finger squarely at her husband. Their children are brought in to testify, adding to the drama. Yet, due to the laws of the time, a wife’s testimony alone isn’t enough to convict.
We’ll unravel this chilling locked-room mystery and explore the fascinating twists that followed the courtroom drama.
And in today’s Further Particulars segment—fittingly, in honor of Mothering Sunday here in the UK—we bring you the dark tale of a mother who encourages her son to get rid of his father. Ah, family bonds… sometimes more sinister than sweet.

News of the Times Episode 468 | 1831
While on his way to a job, a turf cutter loses his bearings and wanders into the dense woods. As he struggles to find his way, he makes a grim discovery—the decaying corpse of a young boy. The body, left to the elements for weeks, is in a horrifying state of decomposition.
Police quickly descend on the scene and identify the victim as a 13-year-old boy who had been missing for nearly two months. The devastating news shatters his grieving father.
As police launch their investigation, they uncover conflicting testimonies from two individuals brought in for questioning. What follows is a shocking twist that stuns the entire nation—an outcome so disturbing, it leaves England reeling.

What Really Happened to Marie Empress the Missing Actress
News of the Times Episode 467 | 1919
Welcome to today’s episode, where we journey back to 1919 to explore the baffling disappearance of Marie Empress – a popular music hall actress and rising cinematic star – aboard a liner bound for New York.
Marie, known for her striking presence and dramatic fashion, boarded the ship dressed in her signature heavily veiled black attire. Everything seemed perfectly ordinary—until she vanished without a trace from her luxurious cabin. Despite her remarkable appearance, no one saw her leave. It was as if she had been plucked from existence. A confounidng element to the mystery was a small, locked-from-the-inside porthole.
We take a look at the strange circumstances of Marie Empress’ disappearance and explore the theories behind this haunting case.
And in today’s “Further Particulars” segment, we take you back to 1875 for an equally bizarre mystery: the curious case of a baby found in a basket, suspended high in a tree. Witnessed by several people, this peculiar and unexplainable sight left everyone baffled.

Mary Maguire, the Ripper & Carrie Brown
News of the Times Episode 466 | 1891
In today’s episode, we explore the chilling claim of a 70-year-old woman admitted to an Irish workhouse, who insists she came face-to-face with Jack the Ripper immediately after the murder of Annie Chapman. She describes him as a foreign-looking man with connections to far-off places like America.
We then follow this trail across the Atlantic to New York in 1891, where a series of grisly murders sent shockwaves through the city. The press quickly drew comparisons to the Ripper slayings in London, sparking the question: Did the Ripper continue his reign of terror in the U.S.? And could the New York police have succeeded where their Whitechapel counterparts failed?
Finally, in today’s Further Particulars segment, we rewind to 1825 for a bizarre tale that proves why it’s never wise to cross a cat!

The Mysterious Murder of Nellie Rault
News of the Times Episode 465 | 1919
In today’s episode, we’re traveling back to Bedford in 1919.
Nellie Rault, a bright and beautiful 21-year-old serving in Queen Mary’s Auxiliary Corps in post-World War I England, has mysteriously vanished. She was last seen on Friday evening, mentioning plans to meet her beau—a Sergeant Major. But she never returned.
Days later, her body is discovered brutally stabbed, hidden beneath branches and bracken, shockingly close to the camp gate—no more than 20 yards away.
We delve into this chilling case, which drew in Scotland Yard, and unravel the investigation, the suspects, and the ultimate outcome.
And in today’s Further Particulars segment, we step even further back in time to 1807, where a bizarre and brutal multiple murder began with something truly strange—a cow believed to be bewitched...

Cases of Double Black Widows
News of the Times Episode 464 | 1851 & 1875
In today’s episode, we delve into two chilling cases where a wife’s murderous intent wasn’t satisfied with just one husband.
Our first case takes us to Newcastle in 1851, where Mrs. Teasdale—well-known for her violent temper—is tending to her ailing husband, a market man who has fallen mysteriously ill. With no one else in the house to care for him, all eyes turn to his volatile wife. But when whispers of suspicion arise, another dark revelation emerges—her first husband also died under unexpected circumstances…
Our second story takes us to France in 1875, where a strikingly beautiful woman leaves an eerie trail of death behind her. Every man who crosses her path meets a grim fate, yet she continues to lure them in.
And for today’s further particulars case, we visit Notre Dame in 1892, where a monastery is plagued by violently ringing bells that refuse to be silenced. The more they try to stop them, the louder they ring…

The Mysterious Manchester Murders
News of the Times Episode 462 | 1905-1906
In this epsidoe, we journey back to Manchester in 1905.
A rag and bone man, searching for discarded treasures, makes a horrifying discovery in the cellar of an abandoned house—a battered and gagged 15-year-old boy, his life cruelly taken in an apparent act of senseless violence.
With no clear motive and the boy’s working-class background offering little in the way of explanation, the community is left reeling. His devastated family insists he was a responsible young lad, making the crime all the more perplexing.
Fast forward 18 months, and in the same area, another grim scene unfolds. As demolition workers prepare to tear down an old, derelict house, a foul stench rises from the cellar. What they uncover will add yet another layer of horror to this already chilling case.
We investigate these two shocking crimes that gripped Manchester in 1905.
And in our end-of-episode Further Particulars segment, we step into a different kind of mystery from 1908—one that left a farmer and his family utterly baffled. Objects within their home began moving inexplicably before their very eyes. Was it a trick of the mind, or something far more sinister?

The Mysterious Murderer Enabler of Norfolk: Hannah Shorten
News of the Times Episode 461 | 1832 & 1835
In today’s episode, we’re traveling back to Norfolk in the 1830s—a place left shaken by not one, but two shocking cases of multiple murder, just a few years apart. And at the center of both? Whispers of a cunning woman—another word for a witch—named Hannah Shorten.
In both cases, Hannah is said to have quietly offered her mystical advice to women desperate to change their fates.
First, in 1832, we meet Mary Wright—trapped in an unhappy marriage and seeking out Hannah Shorten for help. Soon after, both Mary’s husband and father are dead, buried on the same December day.
Then, in 1835, the small village of Burnham is rocked by another string of mysterious deaths. Once again, Hannah’s name surfaces—this time connected to two best friends, Fanny and Kate, who had also sought her counsel about their tangled love lives.
Today, we’re diving into both chilling cases and the shadowy figure of Hannah Shorten, whose influence seems to linger over them all.
And if that’s not eerie enough, stick around for our 'Further Particulars' segment at the end, where we’ll share the haunting medieval tale of the Witch of Berkeley, as recorded by the famous 12th-century historian William of Malmesbury—writing from none other than the legendary Glastonbury Abbey.

Exploring The McKay Mother Murder | A Chilling 1927 Scottish Crime
News of the Times Episode 460 | 1927
In today’s episode, we are heading back to 1927 in Glasgow, Scotland.
A man rowing along the River Clyde spots what looks like a white bundle on the shore. But when he investigates… what he finds is beyond horrifying. Inside are the dismembered remains of an elderly woman — her head brutally battered, limbs severed, and signs that someone had tried to burn her head.
The gruesome discovery quickly dominates the headlines. But the case takes an even darker turn when the prime suspect is revealed... the woman's own son.
Today, we’re digging into this shocking crime — the details of the murder, the possible motives, and the final verdict.
And if that’s not chilling enough, do take a look at our 'Further Particulars' story, where we go to 1897 to explore the mystery of a bloody footprint that appears nightly in every home of a small village.

The Isle of Wight Murder of 1877
News of the Times Episode 459 | 1877
Welcome to today’s episode, where we travel back to 1877 and uncover a shocking crime on the Isle of Wight.
Maria Barber, seeking a fresh start, returns to her father’s home on the island with her partner. Her father—living with a partner of his own—doesn’t question their relationship, and life in the house carries on despite whispers among the neighbours about its growing reputation.
Then, one fateful day, everything changes. While her father and his partner are away at the market, Maria bursts from the house in terror, desperately seeking help. A concerned neighbour arrives but, finding nothing amiss, soon departs.
Not long after, a gruesome scene is discovered—Maria’s body lies in a pool of blood, brutally hacked with an axe. Her faithful dog stands guard beside her lifeless form. The brutality of the attack shocks the island, and Maria’s partner is nowhere to be found.
A manhunt begins, and the case grips the nation. Who was behind this savage crime? What led to Maria’s tragic fate? And how did the chase for the prime suspect unfold?
In today’s Further Particulars story, we step into the world of the supernatural—a haunted house where a ghost is believed to have played a chilling role in the death of a child. Was it truly a case of a ghostly murderer?

Case of the Harley Street Murder Mystery of 1880
News of the Times Episode 458 | 1880
Welcome to today’s episode, where we step back in time to 1880 and uncover a chilling mystery in London’s prestigious Harley Street.
A newly hired butler, troubled by a terrible stench near the cellar, decides to investigate. Behind the cistern, he discovers a large cask, oddly topped with empty seltzer water bottles. Assuming it’s filled with more of the same, he pries it open—only to be met with a gruesome sight: the nearly naked body of a woman, eerily preserved in lime.
The shocking discovery captivated the press and brought Scotland Yard rushing to the scene.
Who was she?
How did she end up there?
And what dark secrets lay hidden behind Harley Street’s grand facades?
But that’s not the only mystery. For those drawn to the truly bizarre, in our end of episode further particulars segment we’re travel back to 1820, where a teenage servant girl stands accused of repeatedly setting fires inside a home — seemingly without explanation.

Deadly Betrayal: The 1828 Mother’s Assassination Conspiracy
News of the Times Episode 457 | 1828
Welcome to today’s episode, where we dive into a gripping tale from 1828—one that reveals a dark and twisted side of deadly loyalty.
Thomas Ellson, a 24-year-old member of a notorious sheep-stealing gang, finds himself at the centre of a shocking case. When fellow gang member James Harrison is caught for a different crime, he strikes a deal for his freedom: testifying against Ellson.
But before the trial can take place, Harrison vanishes. Rumours swirl that Ellson’s mother gathered enough money to hire assassins to silence the only witness against her son.
What follows is a case filled with betrayal at every turn—wives testifying against husbands, brothers-in-law turning on each other, a father called to convict his own son, and even a son condemning his own mother. By the end, five people stand accused in a web of treachery and murder-for-hire.
We’ll explore the crime, the players, and the shocking verdict that followed.
And in today’s Further Particulars segment, we rewind to 1811 for a bizarre weather event—one where a storm rained live alligators. Quite honestly, we hate when that happens!

The Morton Murder Mystery | What Really Happened at the Farm
News of the Times Episode 452 | 1933
In today’s episode, we take you to Towton in 1933, where a devastating fire has reduced a well-known cattle farm to ashes. The barn and sheds are completely destroyed—but the real horror lies in what’s left behind.
Amidst the charred remains of a car in the barn, investigators find a body, barely recognizable. Only a set of house keys and a wedding ring survive the flames, allowing for identification. But what first appears to be a tragic accident takes a dark turn when a postmortem examination uncovers a gunshot wound. This isn’t just a fire—it’s murder.
What follows is a tangled web of jealousy, lust, and blackmail. The victim’s wife, Mrs. Morton, had been entangled in an affair with the farm’s groom, the prime suspect in this chilling case. But was she truly guilty? And did the groom really pull the trigger?
And as we dig deeper, today’s "Further Particulars" takes us back even further—to 1801—where murder within a marriage becomes a family affair, with a mother-in-law and sister playing a shocking role in a deadly plot.

A Hatchet, A Gunshot & A Widow’s Denial | The Chilling Case of David Buchanan
News of the Times Episode 451 | 1881
Step back to 1881 in Derry, where a truly gruesome crime has taken place.
82-year-old ex-soldier David Buchanan is found dead in his bed, his face allegedly shattered by a self-inflicted gunshot. Blood and gore cover the walls, floor, and sheets. But something doesn’t add up.
David suffered from severe palsy, was bedridden, and needed assistance with even the simplest tasks. How could he have fired the fatal shot? Suspicion deepens when the initial medical examination reveals that his face was first attacked with a hatchet—meaning the gunshot came after death.
All eyes turn to his wife, 40-year-old Elizabeth Buchanan, who vehemently protests her innocence.
Can you count the pieces of evidence pointing to the guilty party?
And if that wasn’t bizarre enough—our further particulars story from 1903 brings you the legend of a giant dog… with a woman’s head. Woof!

Who killed William Swann in 1903?
News of the Times Episode 450 | 1903
Today, we take you to Wombwell, near Barnsley in South Yorkshire. The year is 1903.
William Swann and his wife, Emily decide to take in a lodger—John Gallagher. But what starts as a financial arrangement soon turns into something far more dangerous.

Did Gallagher, the lodger-turned-lover, strike the fatal blow? Did Emily wield the poker that ended her husband’s life? Or was it a crime committed together?
This twisted tale offers a very late revelation from the judge at the end of the trial which better answers the question of who killed William Swann.
Join us as we uncover the background, the crime, and the shocking verdict in this chilling tale.
And in today’s Further Particulars, we explore a bizarre lawsuit involving a dead body used in traveling shows—because sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.

The Case of the Fatal Refusal
News of the Times Episode 446 | 1863
In today’s episode, we journey to Derbyshire in 1863.
Elizabeth “Bessie” Goodwin, 22, is known for her kindness and remarkable talents. For years, she has shared an understanding of engagement with George Townley—a musically gifted but financially struggling young man. With Townley living miles away in Manchester, their relationship is sustained largely through letters. However, marriage remains an impossible dream.
Bessie resides with her devoted grandfather, whose guest—a charismatic and eloquent clergyman—soon catches her eye. Drawn to his charm, she accepts his proposal and ends her relationship with Townley.
But Townley, though quiet by nature, is a man of intense emotion. Unwilling to accept their parting without hearing it from Bessie herself, he seeks her out. Their final meeting ends in tragedy.
The case gripped the nation, igniting debates about love, commitment, and the morality of a woman choosing a new suitor over an old promise.
We unravel this sensational case—its background, the crime, and the verdict.
And in our closing further particulars segment…
We explore a chilling mystery from the same era: the unexplained death of an elderly woman whose image remains eerily imprinted on a glass pane—resisting all attempts to erase it.

Exploring the Gruesome 1868 Outrage and Murder in Scotland
News of the Times Episode 444 | 1869
In today’s episode, we journey back to Scotland to the year 1868 — a time of change. And at the heart of it, a crime so chilling in its day, it would capture international attention.
Robert Smith, a young drifter, and man of occasional employment one fateful day, visits a house with a lone middle aged woman with a nefarious plan in mind.
However, his plan is diverted when a nine-year-old girl crosses his path. Her errand of fetching groceries becomes her last journey. She never makes it to the store.
But Smith isn’t finished. Believing he has only one witness, he returns to silence the lone woman forever.
And so, in Dumfries, Scotland, in front of a silent crowd, Robert Smith would meet his end — his execution marking the final public hanging in Scottish history.
In our further particulars segment at the end of this episode, we take a look at one of final assignments of England’s most prolific executioner, William Calcraft. The man who hanged hundred would soon hang up his own noose.

News of the Times Episode 442 | 1883 - 1927
In today’s episode, we dive into the twisted case of James Kelly, whose story begins in 1883 with the tragic murder of his new wife. Initially found guilty, Kelly’s sentence is commuted after being declared insane, leading to his confinement at Broadmoor. But in 1888, Kelly escapes—around the same time the Ripper murders begin—and suspicion grows that he could be the infamous killer.
Kelly’s path takes him to France and America, fueling theories that he may have continued his killing spree abroad. Over the years, Kelly makes multiple attempts to turn himself in, only for law enforcement to miss opportunities to capture him. In 1927, a broken and deaf Kelly knocks on Broadmoor’s door, requesting to return—a truly bizarre and unique case in criminal history.
Join us as we explore the strange and eerie journey of James Kelly, murderer, asylum inmate, and potential Jack the Ripper suspect.
For those who like the bizarre, our end of episode "Further Particulars" segment delves into a mystic's attempt to contact the Ripper's victims to help solve the case.

The Murderess Timney - The Last Public Female Execution in Scotland
News of the Times Episode 440 | 1862
In today’s episode it is 1862 Carsphairn Ireland, a small village some 14 miles from New Galloway.
27 year old Mary Timney, with four children, sees her neighbour, Ann Hannah, a 40 year old spinster who live in and cares for the house of her brothers. The Hannah family are more affluent. Ann also enjoys a good relationship with Mary’s husband. Mary knows that her husband’s attention has become diverted from her.
More than one spat has occurred between Mary and Ann with Ann having accused Mary of being a thief more than once.
And then one day, Mary snaps. The broken body of Ann, weltering in her own blood was considered exceptionally shocking at the time and made the national papers. Police energetically chase the trail of evidence to Mary. Then, as Mary can see her position is increasingly precarious, she confesses the unthinkable - that it was her own mother who had so horrifically murdered Ann.
We take a look at this sensation tale of the time. Mary Timney would become the last female ot be executed in Scotland.
For those who wish to dip their toes into the peculiar, our further particulars segment at the end of this episode looks at a creepy take from the same time period involving a cursed clock that seems to be fatal to each owner when it starts to slow down.

Whitechapel's Shocking History Revealed 1863 to 1892
News of the Times Episode 439 | 1863 &1892
Whitechapel – an area that historically seems to attract evil.
In today’s episode we start with the shocking surprise of an initial discovery of discarded bodies – many of them children – within the roof of White Chapel church. The horrific discovery is made when some workmen are called in to repair the ventilation system.
One year later, and 18 more bodies are revealed at another nearby church – some of the corpses being headless and mutilated.
From here, we jump to 1892 and all of Whitechapel, and the rest of London, hold their breath with the capture of a man who had looked to be attempting to cut up of an unfortunate.
This story which would usually be a small paragraph in the back papers reaches the national papers on the front page. Have the police finally actually caught Jack the ripper? Or is this a copycat – in some ways equally alarming.
Today’s further particulars story carries on the same Whitechapel theme with the description of a cruel prank. A man enters a pub, only to be greeted by two drunken men he does not know who claim to be undercover detectives and who insist that he is Jack the Ripper. The unfortunate oilman finds himself running for his life as shouts are called out into the street that he is Jack the ripper.
Stories related to the wickedness of Whitechapel is today’s episode.

Case of The Dykebar Murder Affair
News of the Times Episode 439 | 1821
1926 Scotland. Dykebar Mental Hospital staff are going on a picnic, as they have done before, in the nearby beauty spot. Euphemia has recently broken off more personal relations with a fellow male nurse but remains on friendly terms with him.
The male nurse in question is known as a quiet young man, a but odd, but nothing untoward. At the end of the picnic as everyone packs up and heads back to the mental institute where they work and live, 20 year old Euphemia and 26 year old Robert Handley trail behind slowly. Staff go in and go to bed without waiting.
The next morning there is no Euphemia although Handley is there, calmly having his breakfast. When questioned, he states she had gone away.
What unfolds is a brutal outrage and murder, the prime suspect being easily named. What is more alarming – it would seem that Handley had his own psychoses with revelations of his enjoyment of inflicting cruelty.
This case was major news in Scotland at the time. Was he insane or not? And if so, how did he manage to get a series of jobs in mental health institutions?
We take a look at the background, the crime, the capture and the verdict in today’s episode of the Dykebar Murder Affair.
Today’s further particulars story at the end of this episode from 1912 recounts the end of a 5,000 year odl romance as the woman , after 5,000 years, finds her husband’s jealous nature too much to bear and wants a divorce.

The Case of Edinburgh's Last Public Execution
News of the Times Episode 437 | 1864
In today’s episode we are in Ratho, some 14 miles outside of Edinburgh in 1864. Young Isabelle brown, working as a cook at the manse has been dating local chap, George Bryce.
Bryce, who works as a carter, is known in the village as being a bit slow. He also likes to drink – a habit that Isabell does not approve her.
Her very good friend who works as a nurserymaid in the same manse distinctly disapproves of Bryce as a suitable beau for her good friend and shares her views. Isabell, listening to her friend, breaks off her relationships with Bryce.
What then infolds is a horrific murder that rocks the community and would bring some 20,000 people, many travelling from afar, to witness the execution of Bryce.
We take a look at the background, the crime, and the verdict in today’s episode of Edinburgh’s Last Public Execution.
Today’s further particulars story, also from 1864, is a bit creepy – a widow is being stalked, by letters sent to her, by her very dead husband. She recognises his handwriting, and he seems to know all about the mundane things she does daily. It goes on for years.

The Infamous Murderous Lomas Morrey Love Triangle of 1812
News of the Times Episode 436 | 1812
In today’s episode it is 1812. King George III in on the throne. Edith and George Morrey enjoy a comfortable living together with their 5 children in Chester.
George Morrey is known as a congenial husband and master. A new young servant is brought in, John Lomas, and Edith, it would seem, quickly sets her sights on him.
A torrid intimacy ensues between servant John Lomas and his mistress and wife of his employer, Mrs Edith Morrey.
It would seem that the relationship between the two remains a secret until Edith decides she wants more. She promises young John that if he were to kill her husband, they could both marry and he would be the master. With constant cajoling and persuasion, John agrees.
What unfolds is a horrific long winded murder that is recounted step by incredible step.
This case was famous in its day and made the national papers – no small feat in 1812 publications of a local murder.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the verdict and the post script of the infamous murderous Lomas Morrey love Triangle.
For lovers of the unusual, we have an 1813 story of a drunkard who has fallen down a well and whose spectral apparition informs others in the neighbourhood of where he can be found.

Case of the 1888 Marylebone Murder Mystery
News of the Times Episode 435 | 1888
In today’s episode it is January 1888 Marylebone, in an upper middle class neighbourhood that although less than 5 miles away from Whitechapel could very well be a hundred miles in way n terms of the differences with Whitechapel financially and socially.
Miss Lucy Clarke, a very successful dress maker with prestigious clients is found murdered in the building of her apartments. Her multiple rings have bene taken off and her jewellery in her rooms, along with some cash, taken.
The wonder is how did the robber / murderer get in?
Whilst investigating the murdered woman’s rooms, a letter is discovered that had been written, but not sent, to one of her nephews. The letter accuses the young nephew of having stolen her property and warning of dire consequences. He visits her to apologise. He is believed to have been the last person to see her alive.
We take a look at this early 1888 case – the background, the crime and the verdict.
For those who enjoy the slightly offbeat, in our further particulars segment at the end of this episode, we have a story of the murder of the man who had sold the sack that was used by Dr Crippen’s to hold his wife’s body some few years before….

The Fiskerton Tragedy of 1864
News of the Times Episode 433 | 1864
In today’s episode, it is 1864 Fiskerton - some 14 miles from Nottingham.
The community is rocked with the news that Thomas Parker has attempted to murder his aged parents. Parker has long garnered a reputation in the community of being an indulged spoiled man-child. Although the village is shocked, it is not necessarily completely surprised.
The murder attempt against his mother is successful. The rifle shot hit her in the face, tore through an eye, and shot through the top of her head, essentially scalping her. She lingers, proclaiming how it was an accident on the part of her beloved son, and then dies. The father, despite the multiple wounds inflicted by the rifle across his face and chest, survives.
We take a look at this remarkable parent murder which brought a crowd of over 10,000 to witness his execution. The case is also noted as being the last public execution to take place in Nottingham.
For those who like the peculiar, today’s further particulars story is an odd one involving the ingestion of green lizards and how to get them out of one’s body. Warning to all those who fall asleep with their mouths open in the great outdoors!

The Case of the 1836 Cross Murder - the last female execution before Victoria
News of the Times Episode 433 | 1836
Sophia Edney, 23, who married to her husband at the age of 16 – a husband who is some 30 years older than her - seems to have had enough.
After being served some fried potatoes, her husband, John Edney, begins to suffer extreme pain and a burning sensation within his body.
A doctor is called in with his own suspicions who finds her excuse of his illness being due to an ulcer doubtful.
Sophia Edney had the distinction of being the last person to be executed before the commencement of the reign of Victoria and also the last woman to be executed within 48 hours of sentencing as per the old laws.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the verdict in this husband wife murder story from 1836. For those who enjoy delving into the weird, we have a different type of challenge in our further particulars segment at the end of this episode with a cackling ghost who regularly makes his presence known when the young couple begin to enjoy their connubial bliss.

In today’s episode we start in 1822.
England has been suffering from an increasingly terrible crime wave. The police, such as it is, consists of hired watchmen who are often n the pay of the very gangs they are supposed to be protecting.

Despite great resistance and sceptics from the public of the new police force, or “peelers”, the constabulary is launched.
From this brave new experiment, the new constabulary suffers its first death in the line of duty in 1830. This is his story.

A True Case of Murder: Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 431 | 1922
1922 and a small story in the papers recounts the discovery of a beaten high end call girl found by her maid in the victim’s bathroom. Police state the scene looks like a slaughterhouse.
The lead suspect is quickly traced but what then unfolds is a very strange, very bizarre tale of the killer. Is he insane? Was he insane at the time? Or is he just a bad one?
The case is given more import with the realisation that the suspected murderer is the stepson of the Baron de Freyne.
This case would severely test the definition of the McNaughton rule and what constitutes insanity within the British judicial system.
This infamous case is still taught in law courses today. We take a look at the background, the crime, and the verdict -which would end up being more complicated than it appears on the surface.
For those who enjoy the peculiar, our further particulars segment at the end of this episode looks at a case around the same time of spontaneous blue flames spontaneously igniting in the air in the room of an invalid.

The Huddersfield Murder Case of 1888
News of the Times Episode 429 | 1888
Today’s story begins with an execution on New Years Day, 1888 at the hands of Billington. How did he get here?
A relationship, that by all accounts was never good, has completely soured. As the tension rises so do the threats of violence and abusive behaviour.
But Elizabeth, the wife, is no shrinking violet. She reports the threats to the magistrates not once, but on three separate occasions. Charles Bulmer is now on the radar of the police, and he resents it. He is angry with his wife, excusing himself that he had not touched her, only threatened.
Bulmer moves out. Elizabeth will not give him his clothes that he left in the house without a policeman present. Bulmer snaps.
We take a look at the background, the buildup, the crime and the verdict in this murder case from 1888.
For those who like to delve into the peculiar, today’s further particulars story looks at a case from 1889 of a trick played on a newlywed couple on New Year’s Eve.

Cases of Parricide for Love & the Naked Body on Christmas Day
News of the Times Episode 425 | 1844 & 1919
In today’s episode we look at two Christmas cases from Liverpool.
Our first case from 1855 involves Mary who lives with her father. Mary is in love with a young man from Liverpool. Alas, Mary’s father does not approve. The argument goes on for some time. Mary is then invited to visit her boyfriend in Liverpool for Christmas. Her father refuses stating categorically that she is not allowed to see him at all. Mary buys rat poison.
In our second case from 1919, the body of a woman is found outside in an alleyway, stripped of all clothing. Police are immediately on it despite the holiday.
For those who like the unusual: We have two stories in our end of episode further particulars segment. The first case involves the body of a woman dragged out of the river – her face is deeply scarred. The body is identified and the daughter arrested – she confesses. But the alleged dead woman shortly afterwards arrives at the police station.
Our second story landed in our laps by chance! For our American cousins – a report from 1919 explaining how much crime there is in America and the reasons behind it.

The Case of the Body in the Wall Murder
News of the Times Episode 424 | 1930
1930 Birmingham and Edwin Claude Thick, bricklayer, has written to his parents informing them that his wife, Ivy, has left him and their one year old child and absconded off with a Frenchman with whom, he states, she had been having a regular affair for over a year. He is heartbroken but determined to look for Ivy and bring her back home.
Her parents do not believe it. Ivy, who spoke with her mother daily, was a devoted parent and had never given any indication of any additional relationships. As Ivy seems to have vanished utterly, her parents after attempting to speak with her husband, contact a solicitor and the police.
Doing their due diligence, a policeman goes to visit the residence that had been Ivy and Thick’s home and notices a peculiar smell. Pursuing the smell, he goes into the loft and sees a cavity within the wall. Inside are bloodstained bedclothes, a bloody pillowcase all encasing 6 to 7 body parts. It is Ivy.
This incredible case, with many a twist and turn, gripped the papers for some time and went through two trials. We take a look at the background, the crime and the ultimate verdict in today’s episode of the body in the wall.
For something even more peculiar, we take a look at a case from 1932 involving a disappearing cackling hermit, a gruesome corpse, and some boy scouts in the woods in our further particulars segment at the end of this episode!

The Curious Case of The Liverpool Sack Murder
News of the Times Episode 423 | 1913
In today’s episode it is December 1913 in Liverpool, and a passing fisherman upon the canal spots a sack floating in the water.
Curious, he fishes the sack out of the canal only to find the horrifying remains of a woman, doubled over, with an additional sack placed on her head. Two iron weights had been placed in the sack no doubt with the hope of keeping the grisly remains hidden at the bottom of the canal.
The woman is wearing an unusual charm necklace making it easy to identify her. Tracks of a hand cart to the bank also help lead police to a company less than a mile away. Here, upon questioning staff there, police immediate find their two suspects.
However, one of the suspects has gone into hiding. The chase is on not only to retrieve the suspect before he make his escape, but also to understand the motive behind the killing. Was it lust? Or possibly money, although the loss of cash is negligible.
We take a look at the case of the Liverpool Sack murder that made the national papers and gripped the residents of Liverpool.
For those who like the unusual, todays further particulars story explores the case, also from 1913, of the person who dressed up as Satan in order to steal a body. Here at the News of the Times team, we lack this kind of vivid imagination to make these kinds of stories up.

The Sandhills Christmas Tragedy - The Killing of Kathleen
News of the Times Episode 422 | 1919
In today’s episode it is Christmas time, 1919, in the resort area of Blackpool.
Kathleen, known as “Kitty”, has finally completed the urgently requested request by her handsome boyfriend of a life insurance policy and has also, with her sister as witness, signed over her property, and the proceeds of her insurance policy to her boyfriend in the unlikely event of her early demise.
The two are celebrating with a romantic weekend away at Blackpool, when Holt can get away from the Christmas festivities from his parents’ house not far away. Kitty in the meantime is waiting for him for the romantic Christmas fairy tale to begin. Strong hints have been made regarding marriage, and Kitty is hoping for the all important long promised formal proposal.
Within hours of her arrival, Kitty is found in a pool of blood in one of the many coves along the beach. A man’s forgotten kid glove is found near the body. Her expensive jewellery has not been taken – it was not a robbery.
This case with its many salacious aspects gripped the papers at the time. Adding to its notoriety was the hiring of Sir Marshall Hall for the defence. We take a look at the crime, the capture and the verdict in today’s episode of the Sandhill tragedy.
For those who wish to dip into the creepy, our further particulars case recounts the story of a house that has a watcher who leaves notes telling family what they have been doing. Very disturbing.

Nenty has fallen in love with Mary and proclaims his love. Mary has explained that she is not interested but values their friendship. Over time, Nenty’s professions of love and his behaviour become more aggressive which would become further exacerbated when he drank.
Then, one fateful night, Nenty snaps and the house faces its own Armageddon at the hands of Nenty. One policeman at the scene, who had been one of the many officers at the ripper crimes some years previously, stated that the bloodbath he witnessed was far worse than any of the ripper scenes.
We take a look at the infamous Case of the Mansfield Tragedy Serial Killing that horrified Victorians across the country.
On a lighter note, our further particulars story looks at a ghostly bride who comes back from the dead to be wed to her still living boyfriend is in the act of marrying his very alive current fiancé. It complicated and surreal!

A Round Robin of Murder: Chilling Christmas Stories You’ve Never Heard
News of the Times Episode 417 | 1888 - 1925
In today’s episode we take a look at some of the murderous activities from Decembers past!
Our first story from 1888 is not a murder in the truest sense, although when the wife turned detectives discovers her husband’s extramarital activities the police probably seem a safer bet!
Our second story, also from 1888, is the story of a countess whose long time friend of the family wants more.
Our third story from 1891 is a fascinating story that takes place on a ship! A murderer is caught but escapes and remains hidden on the ship for weeks as they are at sea. Will he strike again in their sleep?
Our fourth story from 1895 is an ex-maid of a hotel who is certain she has been hypnotised to kill the manager’s children.
Our fifth story from 1925 recounts the murderous lengths some people will go to get a house for their new bride.
Our further particulars story revolves around a very active Christmas ghost!

Murderous Cases of Real Life Sweeney Todds
News of the Times Episode 415 | 1156 - 1895
The legend of Sweeney Todd has fascinated and horrified audiences for generations. While the infamous barber and his pie-making accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, are creations of Victorian Penny Dreadfuls, their grisly tale has parallels in chilling true crime stories throughout history. Today, we’ll delve into three spine-tingling accounts that echo the macabre legend of Sweeney Todd.
Our first story takes us to the mid-12th century, to the hamlet of Colnbrook, where an innkeeper named Mr. Jarman and his wife reportedly devised a horrifying murder trap. Tales describe a bed fixed to the floor, a hinged trapdoor, and a vat of boiling water beneath. It’s said that up to 60 unsuspecting victims met their gruesome end here.
The second story, from 1776, tells of a butcher’s apprentice consumed by a grotesque curiosity—wondering whether human flesh really does taste like pork.
Finally, our third story, from 1895, follows a schoolmaster who visits a barber for his usual shave. As his head tilts back, the scene is eerily reminiscent of the Sweeney Todd legend, with a sinister twist.
And to wrap up this chilling episode, our “Further Particulars” segment uncovers a real-life horror from 1885—a derelict building discovered to be disturbingly decorated with human body parts.

The Victorian Murder Case at the Byfleet Inn
News of the Times Episode 413 | 1924
In today’s true crime documentary episode, we travel back to Surrey in 1924, where a shocking and violent death has unfolded. A publican and Inn owner, Mr. Jones, has died suddenly after drinking his usual morning hangover seltzer.
His wife is left both stunned and alarmed, quickly calling the local doctor for help. But tragically, it's too late. Within the hour, Mr. Jones passes away from what appears to be an unexpected poisoning.
An investigation follows, and the cause of death is soon revealed—strychnine. The wife becomes the prime suspect, but the case takes an even more intriguing turn when it's uncovered that she’s been carrying on a passionate affair with a Frenchman she met while abroad. Even more curious, the Frenchman is staying at the very same hotel owned by the late Mr. Jones and his wife.
As Scotland Yard steps in to untangle this web of deceit, romance, and poison, we’ll take a closer look at the background of the case, the investigation, and the final verdict.
And stay tuned until the end of the episode under ur further particulars segment for a lighter, humorous story from 1924—this time, a very different kind of love interest.

The Victorian Murder Case of Wormwood Scrubs
News of the Times Episode 411 | 1893
In today’s episode it is 1893, London. Victorian England still remembers the ripper as the police divisions as a whole attempt to recover from the disastrous reputation garnered from the recognised botched handling of those gruesome murders.
One evening, outside one of London’s prison walls, in a wasteland called “the Scrubs”, the body of a young woman is found. Her head has been literally bashed in on one side with fragments of skull dotting the ground and splintered into her head. Her throat has marks upon them as if having been stomped upon by a boot.
Her time of death is easily established as the ground under her is dry whereas it had rained late in the evening. Questions are asked as to the whereabouts of the constable who was supposed to be patrolling that area around the time of the murder.
This case exploded across the papers making many a national paper headline. The shock of a potential constable murderer, who was murdering on his actual police rounds, was both shocking and controversial. The viciousness of the attack upon the young woman further increased the salacious nature of the crime.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture.
For those who like the creepy, take a look at this week’s further particulars story. We are quite certain it must have taken years for her to sleep with the lights off….

The Worst Woman on Earth - Serial Killer Lizzie Halliday
News of the Times Episode 410 | 1879 - 1893
In 1893, one woman was given the unique appellation, locally and in the international papers, of “worst woman on earth”. In some papers she was referred to as the “Jack the Ripper in female form” or “Jill the Ripper”.
Sadly, Lizzie Halliday, clearly suffering from severe mental health issues, was not placed consistently into care until a multitude of people had been murdered by her. Even within the mental institute she was sentenced to, her killing spree continued.
We look at this notorious and sad case that transfixed the paper around the world.
For those who like the unusual, toady’s further particulars segment looks at a skeleton found in an abandoned insane asylum….creepy.

Monsters of London - Discover London's Sinister Side
News of the Times Episode 409 | 1790 - 1834
In today’s episode we look at three cases from London crime history where the perpetrator was labelled a “monster” by the press and public.
Our first case from 1790 was infamous in its day and remembered for decades. Women, usually attractively dressed, were being randomly attacked, often in daylight whilst walking in better parts of London.
The stab wounds were often aimed at the buttocks and thighs.
Our second case from hackney in 1804 involves an exhibitionist, dubbed the Hackney monster, who lurks in the shadows by the well in the church, waiting for women or young girls to come to draw water, and jumping out and exposing himself.
Our last case from 1834 in some respects remains mysterious. A couple with four children are seen to have a pleasant evening when the 15 year old maid departs. In the morning, with no answer at the door over several hours, the residence is broken into only to find a scene of absolute horror. The house is locked tight from the inside.
Three London Monsters during Georgian times is toady’s episode.
For those who enjoy the peculiar, we take a look at a different type of monster to rival big foot and known to the American Indians at the time, spotted and described by the cavalry around 1794!

Murderous Butcher Bichel - The Butcher and the Ripper
News of the Times Episode 408 | 1808 & 1888
1888 London, and all of England is highly disturbed by the horrendous slashings taking place in Whitechapel which are both horrific and seemingly motiveless.
Investigative reporters, scientists and historians come out to see if a precedent can be found that may help explain the mind of the killer haunting the streets of Whitechapel.
From here, the story of Andreas Bichel comes to the forefront from 80 years before.
Quiet, married and unassuming, girls who vast Bichel have a habit of disappearing again and again.
Finally, with the last disappearance, the missing girl’s sisters notice that pieces of her clothing have been given to the tailors to be remade at the orders of Mr Bichel.
Police are called in.
Articles of clothing are found, but no bodies of the multiple missing girls until one of the policemen notices that the dog seems both excited and disturbed around the wood pile.
This fascinating case was referred to again and again in the 1888 papers of the time. We take a look at the infamous Bichel case – the background, the crimes and the conclusion.
For those who like the odd, we have an additional case under our further particulars segment at the end of the episode. It takes place around the same time as the Bichel case. And like that case, it has a follow up some 80+ years later…

The Blazing Car Murder
News of the Times Episode 407 | 1930
In today’s episode it is 1930 and one case is leading in all the national papers for weeks.
A car is found in full blaze. People are horrified to discover that a human body is found within the blaze. The horror deepens as it is found that the person within the car was alive whilst being incinerated.
Thankfully, the car license plate is not touched and the car is able to be traced to a man who has been missing from his home for some days.
But, things become more complex when the owner of the car is found alive and well, visiting one of his many mistresses. What then unfolds becomes more complex as the car owner’s quite sordid private life, referred to by himself as his expensive harem, is revealed.
This case was notorious in its day, both with the public and from a legal standpoint.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the conclusion of the blazing car murder.
For those who like the unusual, our further particulars segment at the end of the video looks at a case in Miami, of a similar nature, but involving a cursed haunted schooner.

News of the Times Episode 406 | 1896 & 1903
In today’s episode, we explore the case of Henry Starr, convicted of one brutal murder, but suspected of two.
In 1896, Henry Starr has been paying his attention to young attractive Eleanor Coulthard. The parents become increasingly concerned over this entanglement and send her away, but Henry follows. On an evening out, witnessed by several, Eleanor is found the next morning floating in the river. Coincidentally, Henry was seen late the prior evening completely wet up to his waist.
Some seven years later, Henry is now married after a whirlwind romance and a baby on the way. Their happiness lasts a few short weeks, before the fights begin regarding finances and Henry’s drinking. Lying in wait, Mary, his wife, is brutally attacked with some wounds being so large that the coroner can put his fist on them. The horrific nature of her wounds earned him the moniker “the Blackpool Ripper”,
We take a look at the background, the crimes and the capture of the infamous Starr murders.

The Case of Sweet Fanny Adams - Famous Victorian Murder
News of the Times Episode 405 | 1867
In today’s episode, it is 1867 Alton, near Guildford. A crime so shocking and so brutal has taken place that it is still well remembered over 100 years later.
Three small children are playing together in a field when they are approached by a man who smells of alcohol. He offers to help them to pick berries. Then, he offers two of the children money to go away and offers money to 7 ½ year old Fanny to go with him. She refuses. He picks her up and takes her away anyway.
What is found several hours later is a brutality that is extreme by any standard. There are over 20 body parts found pieced together in a jigsaw fashion, disembowelment, and the eyes of her head had been gouged out and thrown in the river for the fish.
This famous crime permeated the country in a way that only the ripper would do some 20 years later. We take a look at the background, the capture and the conclusion.
For those who like the weird, do check out our further particulars segment involving a gruesome discovery that was walled up in a house from around 1807. The house had been occupied by a religious community.

The Horrifying Hyde Park Murder
News of the Times Episode 404 | 1915
In today’s episode, we are in the heart of London in 1915.
Local resident, Alice Elizabeth Jarman, described as weak minded and suffering a walking impediment, is found brutally murdered and cruelly left in a ditch in Hyde Park. A terrible case, but sadly not a case that is distinguishably remarkable.
Until news is released that the horrific wounds she received were made with a bayonet. There is an army barracks quite close, and she had stated that she was seeing soldiers, but the 1915 bayonets issued do not match her wounds.
And then, a bayonet is found in the sewers that do match her wounds. The bayonet that is the potential murder weapon is dated 1888. Thoughts turn to possible Ripper victim, Martha Tabram…
We take a look at this sad case from the heart of London during World War 1.
For those who like the unusual, we have a similarly themed case under our further particulars segment at the end of the episode. A missing illegitimate young girl who does not get on with her family and the findings in the garden by the new tenant 20 years later…

The Campden Wonder - 17th Century Murder Mystery
News of the Times Episode 401 | 1660 - 1662
We launch our start of “Notorious” November with this very famous case from 1660 under the restoration reign of Charles II. The case, named the Campden Wonder – something of a mystery – remained relevant for centuries – still being referenced in late Victorian records.
A highly respected steward is off to the neighbouring village to collect the rents from the tenants for the Lady whom he works for. He informs his family to expect him back around 5:00 that evening and to hold supper for him.
The family wait and wait for him, finally sending off one of their manservants to go and look for the missing steward. When the man servant also does not return, the 19 year old son is sent to try to trace the pair.
The neighbourhood is rife with rumour and questions arise as to the possible involvement of the aforementioned man servant. He initially denies guilt, but then, in an extraordinary account, he starts to point fingers and who he basically accuses of murder is shocking.
However, the story continues two years on when the purported murdered man, that three people have hung for murder, shows up out of the blue with his own incredible tale!
For those who like the unusual – in our further particulars segment we recount the story of a gentleman some 100 years later who spends the majority of his life attempting to avoid air.

The Demon Drummer of Cortachy Castle
News of the Times Episode 401 | 1844
In today’s episode it is 1844 and we are in Scotland at the family seat of the Ogilvie’s.
The story recounts the visit of Miss Dalrymple who, with other guests, has come to stay for a few days in the famed family halls.
Having settled in her room from her long carriage ride, and already dressed for dinner, she awaits the signal to inform her to come down to dinner. Musing by the fire, she hears the sound of drumming – a traditional Scottish tattoo. Looking outside, she is unable to discern any figure drumming in the gloom.
Believing this to be a country antiquated way of announcing dinner, she goes downstairs only to discover, from the reaction of others, just how wrong she was.
This true spooky take, foreboding the death of a family member, was well documented and very well known.
We take a look at this famous tales from 1844 - the Demon Drummer of Cortachy Castle - in today’s News of the Times Halloween Special.
For those who like more spooky and odd stories, check out our further particulars story of more ghostly drummers in Scotland – but from under houses!

The Holborn Horror & Ramsgate Reckoning - Serial Murders
News of the Times Episode 400 | 1865
This case from 1865 was horrific and beyond disturbing.
A coffee shop with rooms above agrees to lodge overnight three young boys, aged 10, 8 and 6. The man who brings them in is polite and asks that the boys stay on their own. The café agrees. The man takes them out for a walk during the day, feeds them, locks them in their rooms and leaves. He promises to be back the next morning.
When he does not arrive, the staff are concerned and go up to check on the young boys. They are horrified by what they find. Scotland yard are called in.
Meantime, in Ramsgate, a middle-aged woman with her young daughter, is greeted by the man who had abandoned her over 8 years previously. The initial conversations in the company of others seem to go well, and she agrees to be alone with him for a more private dialogue. Their killing is both unexpected and brutal.
The terrible series of murders left 5 dead. The motivation which seems quite convoluted initially, turns out to be so much more petty than expected. Or is it insanity as the defence will try to prove?
We take a look at this gruesome murder spree from 1865: The Holborn Horror & Ramsgate Reckoning

The Trouble with Harriet - Two Murderous Tales
News of the Times Episode 398 | 1836 & 1843
In today’s episode we look at two cases involving women named Harriet.
Our first case from 1836 involves 21-year-old unhappily married Harriet Tarver. Harriet’s husband, Thomas, has abandoned her at least once and has only come back with some forceful parish pressure. A bit of a do-it-yourself health enthusiast, he has taken a few tablets of his own concoction, as well as the rice pudding Harriet has left him and died shortly afterwards. Was it his self-medication? Or the rice pudding that had been purchased?
In our second case from 1843, Harriet Monkton has been found, poisoned, in the toilet room next ot the church which she regularly attends. It is found that she pregnant and the initial suspicion is that she had been overcome with the shame and took matters into her own hands. But if this is the case, where is the phial that the poison would have been contained in? It cannot be found in the privy or on the grounds of the church anywhere.
Two murderous tales involving a troublesome, or troubled, Harriet is today’s episode.

Disturbing Cases of Severed Heads
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1880 - 1885
In today’s episode we dip further into disturbing tales with three stories where scientists of the time, inspired by Marry Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein, look to re-animate heads of criminals who faced the guillotine.
In Victorian society, there was no punishment worse than having one’s body interfered with in unnatural experimentation.
Our first story from 1880 is a crime so infamous and disturbing, it was referenced in initial criminal behaviour medical annals for decades after his death.
The second case from 1884 of the murder of a policeman’s widow, seemed to have more to do with the possibility of further scientific experiments on the heels of the previously mentioned crime. Dog lovers, look away.
In our last story of a treble murderer from 1885, the scientist involved in the creepy re-animation of the head would, for over a decade, swear that he had managed to bring back consciousness to the decapitated head although he had initially promised he would not due to the horror that would entail.
For those who like the weird and strange, (or stranger in this case!), check out our further particulars section at the end of the episode where we recount a house, under a barrage of stones which come from an unseen hand where the source, despite intense efforts, cannot be traced. The onslaught lasted for days.
Three creepy Halloween tales involving guillotined heads is today’s episode.

The Creepy Case of the Shaftesbury Avenue Murder
News of the Times Episode 396 | 1894
In today’s episode, it is 1894 London. Mr Rasch has come home from his walk only to discover his house burgled of all its valuables whilst the children were playing downstairs.
Seeking his wife, he finds her in the bedroom, her ankles tied together with considerable bruising around the face. She is dead, although her body is still warm.
As police and the medical examiner arrive on the scene, what comes out is a highly disturbing account involving getting the young 8 year old daughter to play the piano loudly at the request of one of the murderous team - in effect, asking the daughter to play to cover the screams of her mother whilst she is being murdered.
The case was considered highly shocking at the time and impacted the community for weeks.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture, involving Scotland yard, in the The Creepy Case of the Shaftesbury Av Murder,
For those who are gearing up for the forthcoming halloween, check out our further particulars segment where we take a look at some of the superstitions from long ago which some still follow here in England including how to make your house lucky.

Lydia Green - The Gruesome Murder That Shocked Victorian London
News of the Times Episode 395 | 1877
In today’s episode it is 1887, some two miles north of Whitechapel.
A horrific crime has taken place against Lydia Green within her own home in the morning hours whilst the rest of her family are downstairs starting breakfast.
A suspect is quickly identified and then claims of sweeping police incompetence come to the fore – not very unlike the claims that would be made during the ripper investigations that would take place roughly 1 year later.
Although the crime itself is unrelated to the ripper crimes – we are able to get a pre-ripper snapshot of police techniques, investigations and failures. For true ripperologists, note the same coroner who would be such a central figure in the series of crimes to come.
For those who enjoy the uneasy and unusual, do check out our creepy tale from the 1878 papers where the dead seem to like making phone calls to the living in the early hours of the morning.
A terrible crime, a strange escape, and an investigation and chase hampered by police incompetence 1 year before the ripper crimes for the murderer of Lydia Green is today’s episode.

News of the Times Episode 394 | 1905
In today’s episode it is 1905 Oldham where chemist, Arthur Devereaux is finding it difficult to support his ever-growing family with the new twin boys in addition to his 6 year old boy.
Devereaux has only just been given notice that his current employment will end in one month’s time – he needs to find replacement employment.
Adding to the stress, his mother-in-law who lived with the couple for several years, but has finally moved out, visits every day and seems to be always underfoot.
At last, the mother-in-law is away a fortnight and almost immediately his wife and twin boys, and eldest son, vanish without a trace. His furniture is packed up, along with a strange new trunk, and Devereaux moves away to a new position leaving no forwarding address.
Upon the mother-in-law’s return, she is astonished to find no trace of her daughter or grandchildren. She queries, she asks and she pokes until finally, she hears of a mysterious trunk and goes to the police.
This case, involving Scotland Yard, captivated people and made the national papers. We take a look at the background, the crime and the Scotland Yard capture.
For lovers of the creepy and weird – check out our end of episode further particulars section where we have yet another strange and mysterious case for the Halloween season.
The Scotland Yard Casebook file of Deadly Deveraux – the Trunk Murderer - is today’s episode.

Disturbing Cases of Matricide - Darkest Family Secrets of the 1800s
News of the Times Episode 3393 | 1878 & 1893
Matricide is rare and already rather creepy and disturbing in itself, but these two cases are more unusual than most.
Our first case from 1878 involves a young lad of 17 and his alcoholic mother. She requests a glass of water from him and becomes violently ill shortly afterwards, eventually dying and claiming that her son has poisoned her. But…. There is a twist in this very unusual story!
Our second case from 1893 comes from Ireland and involves Rev Mr George Griffiths. New to the parish, he is apparently being hounded across Ireland for debts accumulated. It is preying on his mind.
He is known to be close to his mother and then, suddenly, he claims his mother has died of a heart attack, and locks the door whilst also placing a chair near the key hole so no one can go onto the room or look in. Stating he is off to start preparations for his mother’s burial, he does not come back.
This interesting case gripped the Irish papers at the time. An odd case, certainly.
For enthusiasts of the odd– for the Halloween season we have included a very strange case we came across from the United States. You can find it at the end of the episode under “further particulars”
Two disturbing cases of matricide with a dash of Halloween thrown in is today’s episode.

Brutal Murder Tales from the Georgian Era
News of the Times Episode 391 | 1692 - 1754
In today’s episode we look at a series of disturbing stories from Georgian times.
Our first case from 1742 involves a spoiled older son, worried that he will be disinherited by his younger brother and wanting his full inheritance now, he embarks on a killing spree of his family annihilating 11 persons.
Our second case from 1750 involves a woman whose old sweetheart has returned. What to do with the new husband who is in the way?
Our third case from 1751 looks at the persecution of a couple named to be witches.
Our fourth case from 1754 involves random eating of a gibbeted person and roasting his wife. Not for the faint hearted!
Our last case is a historic famous case. It refers to the Salem Witch case but has less to do with claims of witchcraft and more to do with ghostly apparitions pointing the finger at other people. The 1692 language is slightly awkward.
5 brutal cases of murder from Georgian times is today’s episode.

The Body in the Buttery
News of the Times Episode 392 | 1892
1892 Oldham, in Northern England, and odd things are going on with a tenant couple.
The wife has, supposedly, travelled to her mother’s due to her mother’s alleged health issues - she has not been seen in weeks.
The husband equally has not been seen around the property being rented for several weeks.
Neighbours are whispering that he has done away with his wife.
Suspicious, the landlord goes around the back and peeks through the window and sees, to her horror, that several of the flagstones in the kitchen have been lifted off and what looks like a pit in the shape of a grave has been dug in the middle of the kitchen!
We take a look at the background, the crime, the discovery and the conclusion of the murderous story of body in the buttery.
For true crime fans, take a look at our end of episode Further Particulars section where we take a quick look at the two other outrageous crimes that occurred at the same time that helped to push the body in the buttery murder off the front pages.

The Disturbing Case of Mary Emily Cage
News of the Times Episode 390 | 1851
In today’s episode it is 1851 Suffolk. The cage family are renowned in the village for the loud arguments and fights between James Cage and his wife Mary Emily cage, and also for Mary’s many departures with other men. In her last excursion, she brought her 16 year old daughter with her who became pregnant.
Mary has returned back to the family home, with her pregnant daughter, and labourer James cage has become suddenly quite poorly with vomiting sessions and bouts of mania.
His carer, Mary Emily Cage, has expressed her wish for him to die quickly – and he does.
The funeral procession is all in place when everything is halted.
In investigations into her history, it is discovered that of her 14 or 15 children, only five remain.
We explore this disturbing case of Mary Emily cage and also take a quick look at a similar case in our further particulars session, also from 1851, with a woman whose husbands all seem to die.

The Case of The Colwick Murders And The Subsequent Tragedies
News of the Times Episode 389 | 1844
In today’s episode it is 1844 Nottinghamshire. Mrs Saville, along with her three children, are on day release from the workhouse and in search of her husband who is lodging with a friend.
Mrs Saville has heard about his friendly relations with a girl from the neighbouring village and wishes to confront him about it.
The husband and wife eventually meet, the children are happy to see their father.
They take a walk into the local woods, the young son on the shoulders of his father, William Saville.
The mother and children do not come out of the woods alive.
This extraordinary case made front page news in the national papers. As terrible as the tragedy was, it was compounded by events that happened afterwards. That event, which we cover at the end of the episode in the “further particulars” segment, was so egregious, it was discussed in parliament.
The case of the Colwick murders and the subsequent tragedies is today’s episode from 1844 Colwick near Nottingham

Remarkable Executions between 1718 and 1816
News of the Times Episode 388 | 1718-1816
What constitutes a remarkable execution in history? In Georgian times, it meant any kind of execution where the behaviour of the prisoner was unexpected or where something goes terribly terribly wrong with the execution/
We look at 6 execution cases which were labelled “remarkable “in their day. The cases include
the executioner who himself is executed
Calcraft’s first female execution
Attempts to cling on to life even as the bolt is drawn
And the noose that decapitated a head at the drop.
These stories and more in today’s episode of remarkable executions.

The Vienna Murders - Serial Killer Hugo Schenk
News of the Times Episode 387 | 1884
In today’s episode, it is 1884 Vienna where the crimes of Hugo Schenk, with his brother and a friend, have finally been caught after a murderous spree within Austria but with suspcions of also having crossed into Germany for more murders.
The ploy was through the Victorian version of tinder. Advertisements went out espousing the wish for a good woman. Schenk, who was considered quite handsome in his time, would seduce the woman, usually a 30ish housemaid looking to leave service and get married. The requirement for a marriage to take place was the emptying of her bank account and the bringing of all her best items.
Then, she would be murdered, tied to a rock, and dropped in a ravine or in the Danube. There are four known murders, but a string of other violent crimes to his name. In his day, he was considered Austria’s very worst killer in their history.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture of Hugo Schenk, the Vienna serial killer.
For true crime fans, take a look at our further particulars section at the end of the video where we look at a similar serial killing case using the same technique and modus operandi.

The Playboy Murderer: Murder in American High Life
News of the Times Episode 384 | 1916
1916 New York and seemingly fabulously wealthy newly married couple are enduring a string of tragedies. Within months of the happy nuptials, the bride’s mother has unexpectedly died whilst visiting her daughter and new son-in-law. Understanding how distraught the family are, the husband takes it upon himself to deal with the body and funeral arrangements including sorting out the cremation
A few months later, her grieving father also comes to visit. He too becomes ill unexpectedly and passes. Once agian, the son-in-law takes it upon himself to take charge of the finer issues associated with the death and puts into place his impending cremation.
Sadly, the bride herself becomes quite unwell, possibly from the back to back tragedies she has experienced in her family. It is as she is recovering that her brother receives a strange telegram urging him to insist upon an autopsy of the father before cremation is to take place.
And thus unfolds a twisted tale of intrigue, poisons, illicit relations, plots and schemes. This story became a sensation around the world as every day in court brought a new revelation.
We take a look at the Playboy Murderer of American High Life in today’s episode.

Two Australian Murder Mysteries: Fanny Perry and the Missing Men from Wonnanngata
News of the Times Episode 383 | 1888 & 1918
Today we are in Australia to take a look at two puzzling mysteries form 1888 and 1918
Our first case takes place in Melbourne with the well-known Lewis’s who are involved in the theatre world. Behind their home, is a large shed storing large pieces of scenery from their many productions. Suddenly, the shed begins to smell very very badly. Their maid also has vanished. Investigations ensue…
Our second case takes place in the remote outback. A cattle station is visited by a local to pass on accumulated collected mail – only to find no one there. He spends a few days waiting for the return of the two missing men, but no one appears. He comes back three weeks later – the place is still empty and the dog is clearly starving.
The two tales of The Mysterious Death of Fanny Perry and The Wonnanngata Murder Mystery are today’s mystery cases from Australia.

The Case of the Body in the Sack - An Irish Murder Story
News of the Times Episode 382 | 1928
1927 County Louth Ireland. The good Reverend M’Keone has two staff within his house who sadly do not get along. 28 year old Mary Callan who runs all things pertaining to his household, and Gerard Toal, an 18 year old young man who takes care of all things pertaining to the outside of the premises such as gardening and car mechanics.
The relationship between Mary and Toal starts off badly when she refuses to do his laundry. Toal’s response when negated or upbraided is one of sullen and simmering quiet. Mary, who keep an eye on the young lad believes she has caught him stealing eggs and reports the matter to her employer, reverend M’Keone. There is no proof, other than her word. Toal is once again upbraided and now he is in simmering anger.
Shortly thereafter, Reverend M’Keone goes away to a conference and comes back home in the evening to find no Mary. He never sees her again.
The disappearance of Mary consumes her best friend Peggy. Eventually, much through her efforts, Mary is found – in parts.
We take a look at this extraordinary story – the background, the characters, the build-up, and the capture of the murderer of the Body in the Sack in County Louth, Ireland.

The Case of the Prussian Serial Killer
News of the Times Episode 381 | 1862
1862 saw two major figures whose crimes went beyond nightmare: France’s Martin Dumollard and Prussia’s Karl Masch.
Prussia’s Karl Masch admitted to killing 13, although it was firmly believed by authorities at the time that his murder count was much higher. The killings were senseless and brutal. His preferred implement was an axe.
No age or gender impacted his murderous rampage. Like Dumollard, he was known to outrage his deceased victims. Maasch’s murder spree, with his brother and mother involved, went on for several years. Although he was suspected, he could not be found.
Then one day, some labourers on the way to work are caught in the rain. To minimise becoming so wet, they walk through woods and by chance, see Masch descending underground.
We take a look at the background, the crimes and the capture of Maasch and his family in today’s episode of the Case of the Prussian Serial Killer.

The Canadian Monster - Joseph LaPage
News of the Times Episode 390 | 1870
1874 Vermont and an absolutely horrific crime has been perpetuated on a district schoolteacher. She is nude and has been violently assaulted and outraged post death. Investigations are begun in earnest but their prime suspect has a solid alibi. With a lack of evidence he is released. He and his family leave the state.
1875 New Hampshire and a young girl on her way to school is forcibly taken, brutalised and outraged. This is followed by her head being cut off and left wrapped in her waterproof away from the body. Suspects are taken in and questioned.
However, the horrendous murder is reported in the national papers and spotted by a resident in the town where the school teacher was so terribly murdered. He puts the two crimes together placing in sight one primary suspect.
These shocking crimes involved such dreadful brutality to the victims that much of it could not be placed in the papers but can be found in the trial transcripts.
We take a look at the man they called the Canadian monster – the background, the crimes, and the capture in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Curious Case of the Harvard Murder
News of the Times Episode 378 | 1849
It is 1849 at Harvard University and Professor John Webster is a man under pressure. Possessing little financial abilities, and with a penchant for living well beyond his means, he has approached his good university friend, Dr Packman, for a loan. For security, he has offered his valuable minerals collection.
Dr Packman, in financial matters, is quite the opposite of Professor Webster as his personal fortunes, through wise investments, continue to grow.
However, Dr Packman is also strictly regulated. When he discovers that his friend Professor Webster has gone to his brother-in-law for an additional loan, using the very same minerals collection as security, his anger knows no bounds.
Dr Packman begins to hound his former friend Professor Webster, increasing his demands, until finally, he manages to have Webster’s pay from the university appropriated to himself to pay the debt owed. And then, surprisingly, the notoriously predictable Dr Packman vanishes.
We take a look at this curious case of the Harvard murder from 1849. For true crime buffs, do be sure to check out the end of the episode under our “further particulars” segment that gives some added information regarding similar cases.

The Case of the Murderous Mother Daughter Love Triangle
News of the Times Episode 377 | 1877
In today’s episode it is 1877 France and sadly, a wealthy middle-aged man has died leaving all his wealth to his 15 year old daughter who has been raised in a convent.
If the young woman stays in the convent, as she wishes to do, all of her wealth, worth some £2 million in today’s money, will go to the convent.
Her mother, former mistress and wife of the deceased, brings her daughter back unwillingly.
The wife, whilst her husband was dying, took on a young lover who has a known lust for money. As the young girl returns, he realises that the daughter is the actual heiress – not the mother he has been having illicit relations with.
From here the story unfolds into deception, corruption, and ultimately a rather gruesome death.
We take a look at this famous French case of the murderous mother daughter love triangle that gripped all of France at the time.
For true crime buffs, France did not always use the guillotine to render justice. There was a far less compassionate method used before. We take a quick look at the end of the episode.

The Case of the Murder in Edinburgh
News of the Times Episode 375 | 1878
It is 1878 in Edinburgh and a young 24 old mother of 4 is dying. Doctors are called and she is taken to hospital, but she never recovers. Her husband, a native Frenchman, puts her death down to a gas leak, pointing out where he believes it has occurred in her bedroom.
A medical examination takes place and it is clear she did not die from coal gas poisoning. Her very distraught mother tells officials of the abusive treatment her daughter has received at the hands of her husband and the very large insurance policy he recently took out on her. But, no poisons are found in her body…
We take a look at this infamous crime that is said to have been the inspiration for the classic gothic novel, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
For crime and history buffs, we also take a look at the connection of the murderer with Arthur Conan Doyle and most likely the famous Dr Bell – purported inspiration for the character of Sherlock Holmes or Dr Watson, depending on your point of view.
The Infamous Murder in Scotland in 1878 is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Case of the Althorp Murder
News of the Times Episode 372 | 1892
1892 Northampton and married with two children husband and father, Andrew McRae, has a plan.
His mistress of some two years has become pregnant – a complication that could be utter financial ruin for himself.
Drawing on the famous Richmond case with Kate Webster, McRae plots out his full proof plan on disposing of Annie without anyone knowing or questioning her disappearance.
His horrific crimes involved dismemberment, boiling and burning the bones. With the murder location across the street from a police station, McRae decided to not take a chance with the larger parts which, instead, he dumped in a ditch some 6 miles away. McRae was confident he had achieved the perfect crime.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the investigation and the capture of this infamous case which, arguably, could be considered almost unmatched in terms of cruelty and cold hearted execution.
For Victorian legal eagles, the case had an interesting defence premise that was used to attempt to have the case thrown out. We take a quick look at this at the end of the show.
The case of the Althorp Murder is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Murderous Case of the River Packages
News of the Times Episode 371 | 1877
In today’s episode, it is 1877 in a small village in Wales. In the early morning as people begin their day, a hand, with arm attached is found drifting down the river.
As the day progresses, more body parts are discovered. The head is recovered from the river with eyes gouged out and hair cut short. Eventually, most of the parts of a young pregnant woman are pieced together by the local surgeon. The body is so badly mutilated that it can only be identified by close family through the various pieces of clothing still attached to some of the parts.
This horrific crime in a small sleepy hamlet in North Wales made the national papers.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the investigation and the execution of the case of the river packages in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

On today’s episode we look at two cases – carefully recorded in their day – where the alleged murderer(s) are named from beyond the grave.
Our first case from 1629, nearly 400 years ago, occurs during the reign of Charles 1st. A body is found lying in bed, child in arms, with her neck cut ear to ear. The court is sure they know who has done it, but the ultimate proof is if the body, that has been buried for 30 days and is then exhumed, bleeds when touched by the hand that murdered it. This belief held even into the early 19th century in some of the more remote villages.
Our second case from 1735, during the reign of George II, an equally well documented tale, recounts the disappearance of a young pregnant girl who just seems to vanish. Then, a local miller begins to be haunted by the missing girl, as a bloody spectacle, telling him to inform the authorities and give evidence as to where her body is buried.
Two documented cases of phenomena pointing to their murderers from beyond the grave is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
For our history buffs – do stick around to the end where we do a short roundup of ghosts in UK history.

The Mystery of the Hansom Cab Murder
News of the Times Episode 368 | 1889
Manchester 1889 and in the foggy cold gloom of a damp and windy February, a cabbie roams the streets hoping for a fare. A gentleman calls out, requesting taking to an inn and two men enter the cab.
With the loud sound of the horse’s hooves on the cobblestone streets, the cabbie is abruptly alarmed when a voice calls out that the cab door is open and that a young man is running down the street.
Alarmed, the cabbie jumps down only to find the older gentleman insensible. He dies shortly afterwards.
It is dark and there are few about. The description given to the police is generic and could pass for almost any young man in Manchester.
What follows is a show of incredible investigative determination with one of our detective heroes commended by Scotland Yard as one of the greatest detectives.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the incredible capture that we believe, without cc tv, would have been difficult to solve in our day and age. The mysterious hansom cab murder is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Case of the Murder on Battersea Bridge
News of the Times Episode 367 | 1844
8444 Battersea bridge London, and an attractive middle aged woman staggers towards the toll booth, clutching a handkerchief to her neck. Helped gently to the ground, she is questioned as to who has done this to her. “Dalmas”, she whispers.
This story made all the papers in 1844, a feat that was not so very common for a crime story in 1844. The story had all the facets to grab the attention: a beautiful woman, a potential illicit affair between a Frenchman and a Sunday school teacher, money, deception and finally, murder.
Through letters left behind, we explore the initial romance of the relationship which slowly turns to a relationship of bitter resentment with attempts to utterly destroy the other party.
We take a look at the background, the victim, the crime and the aftermath of the case of the murder on Battersea Bridge in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Mystery of the Woman in the Woods - Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 366 | 1908
1908 in a small upscale village in Kent. Retired Major General Charles Luard, and his wife, Caroline, have gone on their daily walk, admiring the views as they do. Then they part ways: Charles heads to his golf club and Caroline heads back to the house for a planned afternoon tea with a friend.
But Caroline never arrives back. Some several hours later, Charles re-traces his steps to find Caroline has been brutally murdered at a summer house they passed on their path that morning.
The mystery, with such a high-ranking officer and with minimal clues, brought in Scotland yard.
The mystery deepens as Charles, devasted by the loss of his wife, begins to receive a barrage of anonymous poison pen letters, many post marked from within the small quiet village, accusing him of murdering his wife.
This case made the headlines at the time. We take a look at the background, the story and the conclusion of this Scotland yard mystery.
For true crime fans, do be sure to stay to the end where we present information about detection in late Victorian times from one of the detectives who worked on this case.

Deadly Relations: Shocking In-Law Murders
News of the Times Episode 365 | 1816 & 1898
In-laws – a potential subject of contention throughout time.
In today’s episode we look at two cases where a member of the family has decided that the offending in-law has to go.
Our first case from 1898 surrounds a father and son team who share the same lodging, the father being retired and being supported by his son. Then, the son falls in love, weds and brings his new bride home. The bride’s mother is also a constant visitor. The father’s anger begins to spiral.
Our second case from 1816 is interesting in the difference of approach to potential murder compared to Victorian times. An alleged successful doctor has married into a rich family, but he is always in debt. Within a year, the mother, with a very large estate, has two attacks after having eaten at the doctor’s house. The second attack is fatal.
Our true crime fans will spot the probable poison used which would seem to have been rare at the time as it is not considered. Also interesting is the complete interference allowed by the doctor as the death is investigated – a very definite difference in police and investigative protocol . And lastly, where is all the money going?
Two cases of deadly relations with the in laws is today’s episode of wicked Wednesday.

The Case of the Discovered Teeth
News of the Times Episode 364 | 1913
In today’s episode it is 1913 and we are in a small village in Dorset with a population of 160.
A 24 year old cook who works in the manner house has gone missing. Where has she gone? It is the gossip that consumes the whole of the village. Speculation is rife that she has gone to London for a job or that she emigrated to Canada. Her distraught mother does not believe it.
And then, a series of events occurs to create suspicion. Some boys in the woods spot a newly dug hole that suspiciously looks like a grave. A few days later it has been filled in.
A dairy farmer taking a shortcut on an isolated path spots some false teeth on the ground. Thinking nothing of it, he picks them up and places them on his mantelpiece, thereby drawing the attention of the visiting rector.
From there, the body of Winnie is found. But who committed the murder in this small village where everyone knows everyone else and why did they do it?
This fascinating story made the national papers with headlines screaming for weeks. We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture in the case of the discovered teeth in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Camberley Outrage - Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 362 | 1906
It is 1906 Camberley, Surrey and independently wealthy, eccentric, senior spinsters, the Hogg sisters, are going about their usual tasks on a June afternoon.
Suddenly, 62 year old Caroline Hogg, clutching her throat, staggers to a neighbours house and, struggling to speak, manages to relay that her sister is in trouble at their home. Upon reaching the Hogg residence, older sister Mary Ann is found lying in a pool of blood. Her throat has been cut so deeply, her head is partly cut away from her body. There are gashes upon her head. In her hand, she clutches a hammer head.
The suspected motive is robbery, but nothing has been taken.
This puzzling case brought Scotland Yard to the scene. However, clues are scarce. Then another incident occurs not far away. Then another a few days later. Oh yes, and there seems to be a known lunatic roaming the countryside.
We take a look at this famous case from 1909 involving Scotland Yard and the Camberley outrage in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

In today’s episode it is 1884. Mr and Mrs Gibbons have, with tremendous hard work, built their lives up from common labourer and factory girl, to owning their own business employing 12 people.
Childless and settled, the couple agree to take in Mrs Gibbons second cousin to help the girl and to help her family. She will be like a surrogate daughter to them. Within 18 months, now 15 year old Lucy is forcibly ejected by Mrs Gibbons – a move that is not regarded favourably by Mr Gibbons.

The Shocking Case of Miss Maclean
News of the Times Episode 360 | 1880
Evil manifests itself in many ways, but this case from 1880 utterly shocked everyone at the time. With echoes of the Staunton and Seddon cases, young, vulnerable and possessing some physical challenges, Annie Maclean basically finds herself alone upon the death of her mother and the departure of her brother to America.
Miss MacLean was possessed of a healthy inheritance. She had cash, stocks and shares in property until Lewis Paine arrived upon the scene.
Unemployed, married Paine hones in on Miss Maclean and manages to convince her to sign over all of her assets to him. Once that happens, Miss MacLean is not long for this world.
The cruelty and injustice of the case resonated with Victorians everywhere and is powerful still. Unusually, we have included the judge’s condemnation to Paine – it is withering.
The shocking story of Miss MacLean is today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

The Mysterious Case of Sarah Duckett
News of the Times Episode 359 | 1881
March 1874 in the quiet village of Stretton Church. Sarah Duckett arrives back to her home town by train with two, broken and dilapidated boxes. And then she just vanishes.
September 1881 and William Roberts is walking the two miles at night back home from a business meeting. He senses someone following, sees a woman on the path behind him and waits for her to catch up. She does not. There is no sound of footfall – only the rustling of her dress. He moves on then waits again. She comes no closer.
He then dashes away only to see her in front of him as a ghostly apparition. It is Sarah Duckett!
This ghostly tale made the international papers in its time. We take a look at the back story, the event and the post script of the mysterious case of Sarah Duckett in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

The Many Crimes of Marcel Petiot - Serial Killer
News of the Times Episode 358 | 1946
It is 1944 France, and a house in a better quarter of Paris has been chugging out a black acrid smoke with a terrible stench for days.
Finally, neighbours go to the door to complain, only to find a note on the door stating that the owner of the house is away. Neighbours phone the police.
With the owner not arriving, the police contact the fire department who break in through a second floor window. Making their way down, they are greeted by a horror array of bodies and body parts on every floor. One of the firemen rushes out, vomiting.
So unfolds the story of one of France’s recognised worst serial killers, Dr Marcel Petiot.
We take a look at the history, the crimes, the capture and the execution of Marcel Petiot and his many crimes in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

News of the Times Episode 357 | 1885
1885 St Louis Missouri.
An Englishman arrives at a higher-class hotel in St Louis awaiting his English friend who has a number of business appointments around America and Canada. The two, who had travelled together from Liverpool to Boston appear to be very good friends. The business gentleman is clearly flushed with money. His good friend who waited for him is much less so.
The two dine together and then reception is told the next day that the business gentleman has some appointments but will be back in a week. He pays for the room 1 week in advance and then departs.
A few days later a pervasive smell is coming from the paid room. With management entering the room, a trunk is found. The horror inside involves a very decomposed body, naked but for boxers. The body is so decomposed it is hard for the hotel staff to tell which gentleman it was.
So unfolds an investigation and a chase that will take detectives to San Francisco and Auckland New Zealand, with witness testimony coming from England. The story captured the headlines of papers on both sides of the pond and is memorable for the remarkable and persistent detective work of the police at the time.
The mystery of room 144 is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Infamouse Rutherford Case - Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 355 | 1919
In 1919, England was shocked by the murder of a Major by a good friend, a Lieutenant Colonel. The major was such a good friend, he was godfather to his murderer’s youngest son.
Both would be considered to socialise in the highest sectors of society.
The murder was cold-blooded and planned and there was no question that he had done it. But why?
The answer is slowly unveiled through the letters from his wife which are read out in court. There are also some hints of PTSD from the war – something that was not well understood in 1919.
We take a look at the case that was named by some papers the high society murder. We review the background, the crime, the trial and the post script of the infamous Rutherford case in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

Victorian Strychnine Stories
News of the Times Episode 355 | 1875
As methods of murder go, strychnine is particularly painful.
Today we look at two poisoning by strychnine cases from 1875. Both used this method to poison their victim, and both had beyond the norm motives for murder.
Our first case takes place in County Durham with Elizabeth Pearson being allowed to stay with her family at her uncle’s. Her uncle, by marriage, had kept the furniture from Elizabeth’s aunt after she had passed – an action that seems to have annoyed Elizabeth immensely.
Our second case take place in London where a random poisoner seems to be on the loose. The gentleman in question hangs out in pubs, offering to help anyone recover quickly who has had too much to drink – with deadly consequences. An accountant by trade who is out of work, police are baffled as to the motive and intention of the serial poisoning unemployed accountant.
Two cases from 1875 involving poisoning by strychnine is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Tales of Toxicity: The Chronicles of Two French Poisoners
News of the Times Episode 351 | 1921 & 1930
We are in France looking at two cases from 1921 and 1930. Both cases, when we started ot investigate them were rather shocking, even by us hardened crime researchers.
The first case, from 1921, is in a post-World War 1 environment with its first use of biological weapons and its tragic impact on thousand of soldiers, and involves a man who likes the good life. Nicknamed “Gentleman Girard”, on the side of his love of literature and music, he has a keen interest in bio-toxicology. Girard cultures his own bio-hazards, feeding this in wine glasses or through injection to his intended victims, thinking that the crimes will look like a natural death.
Our second case from 1930 involves a doctor who would rather not practice as a doctor or dental surgeon. Laget is a man in constant need of money and he burns through money possibly faster than any other criminal we have ever covered.
He finds himself fortunate enough to be in contact with a wealthy family with two daughters – each bringing with them a hefty dowry. At the death of one, he moves onto the next. And his sister, and his rich aunt….
Two Tales of Toxicity from French poisoners is today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

The Niagara Murder - Canadian True Crime Story
News of the Times Episode 350 | 1890
In 1890, Canada was fending off what it perceived as influx of immigrants who had come only to be involved in crime.
Enter Regnald Birchall and wife, a once promising student, sports enthusiast, and sketch artist turned committed gambler and con artist.
In a previous ploy: he and his wife as Lord and Lady Somerset, ran up as many bills as they could feasibly do before they were caught, then they made good their escape.
His latest ploy: convince people of prosperous farm opportunities in Canada. Bring them over and then…what to do with them once he has extracted their money?
This story captivated both the Canadian and English press and public. In England, large rooms fitted with a telegraph were created so that paying public could listen to the latest telegrams from Canda regarding the details of the murder.
Within Canda, the whole of the town came to a standstill as people came from miles around to force their way into the courthouse to watch the drama unfold.
We look at the background, the crime, and the aftermath of the Niagara Murder in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
To our Canadian friends, belated Happy Canada Day!

Astounding American True Tales Of Crime
News of the Times Episode 349 | 1929-1930
In today’s episode it is 1929 to 1930 Texas.
Coming across one of the stories in our research, we were astounded – and we are hardened long time crime researchers! This then led us on to more stories – all from Texas and all around the same time!
The stories include a man carrying on an affair who attempts to blow up his wife and children. It is his 4th attempt to kills his wife and his patience is running thin. Her body parts had to be scraped off buildings.
Other stories include the 1930’s version of a Miss Universe contestant attempting to kill her bigamous husband,
a sailor who has left a death trail around the world. Some people collect fridge magnets from each place they visit – he apparently killed in each port.
There is also a lawyer who, upon finding out of his daughter’s secret marriage, kills her new husband and then believes he should get off based on old Texas law.
And we have the young woman, with her friends, who finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her and does her best to both humiliate and punish him - harshly.
A round robin of what we think are astounding cases from Texas is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays

The Remarkable Case of William Chester Minor: The Lambeth Tragedy
News of the Times Episode 348 | 1872
1872 Lambeth and a man, on his way to work in the early morning hours to the local brewery, is chased, shot, then repeatedly stabbed by an unknown assailant. A policeman on his beat nearby hears the shots and catches up with the assailant, American William Chester Minor.
Yale graduate, doctor in the American civil war, eventually achieving the rank of Captain and coming from a good family in the United States, William Chester Minor would not seem to be the kind of person who would kill an unknown victim.
What transpires is an interesting case of a man encouraged by his family to travel abroad, with known mental health issues.
William Chester Minor, one of the newer inmates in the relatively new Broadmoor Prison for the Criminally Insane, also became famous for being one of the most prolific contributors to the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary with his contributions running into the thousands.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the end of the life of the remarkable William Chester Minor in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Four-Fold Murders in France
News of the Times Episode 347 | 1864
In today’s episode it is 1864 in the Haute Pyrenees of France and a dilapidated chateau, run by an elderly gentleman with his four servant, remains shuttered unusually. The gentleman who owns the run down chateau is known as a bit of an eccentric – rumours have it that he is very rich, but he tends to keep himself to himself. Yet, even though eccentric, the chateau would normally have been open by the servants by now.
One of the locals goes in to investigate. A scene of horror emerges with gruesome, bloody deaths of the three servants and the old man as well. The cook’s head has nearly been cut off. The murders are not merely murders, the nature of the destructive wounds would seem to almost indicate a type or frenzied vengeance.
The four fold murder, as it became known in both France and England, was investigated zealously. Questions still remain as to whether the police captured the right people or if a miscarriage of justice took place.
We investigate the crime the evidence and the conclusion of the Fourfold murder in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

Tales of Assassination of the Aged
News of the Times Episode 347 | 1893 & 1897
Today we look at two cases where the intended victim was of more senior years.
The first case from 1893 is a terrible crime using an axe on the woman running the shop. The police took the case very seriously and managed to trace the suspect to Belgium and extradite him – a feat rather more difficult in Victorian Times. The police and Home Office were unswerving.
The second case from 1897 Ireland caught our attention right away. Seventy some Dennis Kelly is still happily running his farm of 6 acres and lives in his house with his son. The father has taken on some domestic help as his wife has died and he needs help. The son suspects that there is a relationship between the two and that they are planning to cut him out of his inheritance. A highly cruel and torturous murder of a son on his father occurs due to jealous suspicions.
Two Tales of assassination of the aged is toady’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Till Death Do Us Part – Wedding Day Murders
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
In today’s episode we look at three cases related to weddings.
Our first case from 1881 in Preston is perhaps one of the most heartless crimes we have researched. A very young girl of 16 has become pregnant from an older unemployed rake. He promises her marriage and allegedly makes all the arrangements. On their supposed wedding day, he suggests a drink first at the local inn. With lemonade in hand, she anticipates her big day, whilst he slits her throat and watches her die.
Our second case from 1897 is highly unusual and gives us a rare glimpse into the life of a Victorian Irish small farmer. His violent ghost is said to continue to stalk the area.
Our third case from 1905 comes from Germany. A honeymooning couple maxes out their financial bill. As the proprietor comes to their room to settle up, he is attacked, bound, and tied to the furniture. The honeymooning couple then leave to go to the next tourist location and do it again. And again, And again.
Three cases related to murder and wedding days is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Poisoning Prince
News of the Times Episode 343 | 1875
1875 Baroda India and tension is mounting between Colonel Phayre, new to his post as the representative of the British Government in the state of Baroda and Malhar Rao Gaekwad, the young Prince Maharaja of Baroda. The Prince, who gained succession upon the death of his brother has been using funds earmarked for the area and redirected them to items for his personal use: such as a rug made solely out of pearls and a solid gold cannon.
Colonel Phayre, whose role is to ensure the good governance of the area is appalled.
As both parties send in official reports to governing bodies complaining of the other, tensions increase. Then one day, Colonel Phayre’s food is poisoned. Colonel Phayre recovers, but the search for the culprit is on and suspicions run high that a sitting prince has attempted to take the life of a British governing representative.
This explosive case captured the attention of both India and England with attempts to gain justice without creating an international incident or provoking an uprising
We take a look at the background, the crime , the outcome and the postscript of the poisoning Prince in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

Dismembered in Paris
News of the Times Episode 342 | 1878
1878 Paris. An owner of a small hostel roams her small hostelry to trace a pervading strong smell. She manages to trace it to a room that had been rented for a week by two students. Inside a cupboard is a package emitting the terrible stench. She opens it and inside she finds two arms and two legs. The head and trunk missing.
The missing and head and trunk of the poor unfortunate woman is eventually traced to a portmanteau that had been left at the train station.
This case gripped Paris. The story was considered so big, several of the English papers sent over correspondents to cover the case in person.
The case also touched upon the recent Evolutionary theory proposed by Darwin with one of the suspects having done a lecture after the murder relaying how the strong kill the weak as per Darwin’s theory.
We take a look at the background, the crime and the outcome of the case of the Dismemberment in Paris in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

The Case of Burke and Hare
News of the Times Episode 338 | 1828 - 1831
1828 Edinburgh was rocked by the news of a murder couple within their midst who has been killing unfortunates and then selling the freshly murdered bodies who have been smothered specifically to leave the corpse “natural looking”. Their gain is between £8 to £10 a body – approximately £1200 per body in today’s money.
Burke and Hare would become arguably the most infamous killing couple in the whole of Great Britain. According to Burke’s own official confession, they killed 17 unfortunates and had an understanding with the lead dissector, famous in his field, Dr Knox.
This infamous case created a new term “burking” – the act of killing for the purpose of selling the body to medical facilities and brought into sharp relief the issue that had been created by government policy. That was a need for medical bodies, but there were not enough bodies to meet the need. Burke and Hare spotted the gap in the market.
We take a look at this astounding case, the background, the crime and the postscript in the remarkable case of Burke and Hare in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

Blood Money: The Dark Side of Child Support Evasion
News of the Times Episode 337 | 1823 & 1896
COur first case from 1823 was quite a famous story in its day. Samuel Fellowes, who has been having intimate relations with one young lady from the village who comes from a respectable family, has now become pregnant and Fellowes seems to have lost interest.
He is busy in a second relationship but knows that he will be expected to support both the child and his first mistress. Fellowes is noted already for being greatly pained to release any money. He comes up with a desperate plan
The second case from 1896 is important and disturbing. It was an early trial win for the relatively newly established NSPCC – the UK National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and gives a great example of the kind of thing the NSPCC were up against in the Victorian World.
Two cases where the murder, and intended murder, are motivated ultimately by money is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Evil Allan Mair - a Scottish Murderous Tale
News of the Times Episode 336 | 1843
Co1843 Stirling Scotland, and an all too familiar scene has occurred of a husband practically beating his wife to death.
But, the case becomes convoluted. 84 year old Allan Mair has a penchant for beating his wife 85 year old wife Mary. He regularly starves her, and occasionally shuts her in a trunk after a beating when he is particularly angry.
The neighbours, who hear everything, take pity on Mary and check on her and attempt to feed her when Allan is away.
Then one evening Mary does not recover and now Allan is looking at a murder charge.
Other than the advanced age, this case sounds sadly familiar. But, unusually, we are given a glimpse into the extraordinary life of Allan and how he ended up into a bitter corrosive man.
This is followed by possibly the most dramatic execution we have ever covered.
The extraordinary life of evil Allan Mair is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Stickney Murderess
News of the Times Episode 335 | 1869
It is 1868 Stickney in Lincolnshire and Priscilla Biggadike and her alleged lover, lodger Thomas Proctor stand accused of the murder of her husband, Richard.
The couple, with three children, have had a notoriously explosive relationship – well known within the community and there is no doubt that Richard has been purposefully murdered by arsenic.
But who did it?
This case has become famous over the years with many a romantic theory. We take a look at the background, the evidence, the case and the post script of the Stickney Murderess in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Achill Atrocity - Ireland True crime
News of the Times Episode 332 | 1894
It is 1894 on a remote island in Ireland and a fire has taken place at one of the larger estate houses.
Agnes M’Donnel is found, barely alive, her face has been bashed repeatedly and it appears that her nose and part of her lip have been bitten off. She unexpectedly and miraculously survives.
Once fully conscious, Agnes is able to give full details of the night of the crime and points the finger decisively on an ex-employee she had given notice to: James Lynchehaun.
With the story taking place during the arson attacks on country homes then happening in Ireland, the initial question arises whether this was personal or a political statement?
We trace the antecedents of this unusual story and the many twists and turns of the Achill Atrocity in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Scotland Yard Casebook – The Seddon Case
News of the Times Episode 331 | 1911
In today’s episode, it is 1911 North London. A wealthy spinster lodger has died in the Seddon household. She has been poorly for a few weeks. The doctor issues the death certificate and Eliza Barrow, the spinster, is buried in a cheap grave.
But, by chance, Eliza’s relatives have heard of her death and are baffled why they had not been contacted. Looking further into it, it would seem that despite Eliza’s wealth, she was buried both hurriedly and cheaply. And where has all her wealth gone?
An exhumation is ordered, and Scotland Yard is called in. This case dominated the papers for weeks. It had all the elements of a great story: a wealthy spinster, a charming man, Scotland Yard, famed defence lawyer Marshall Hall and the secretive Freemasons.
We take a look at the background, the crime, the trial and the postscript of the Scotland Yard Seddon case in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

Killing to Catch a Husband
News of the Times Episode 327 | 1831 & 1835
Today we look at two stories where the ultimate motivation of killing is to catch a husband.
Our first case from 1831 takes place in Coventry, where Mary Ann Higgins, orphan, has been taken in by her kindly uncle who treats her as a daughter. Mary Ann has many admirers but settles on good looking Edward Clarke. Alas, Clarke’s primary focus seems to be getting his hands on her uncle’s money. To keep him, Mary Ann complies.
Our second case from 1835 takes place in Bristol. Mary Ann Burdock has spent her life skirting the law. She finally ends up running a lodging house where handsome young sailor Charles Wade entrances 38 years old Mary Ann. Alas! Wade requires money to marry her and also to start up a shop. Another of Mary Ann’s lodgers conveniently is a wealthy widow who does not believe in banks.
Two crime stories from history motivated by a wish to marry is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Curious Case of William Chevis
News of the Times Episode 326 | 1931
1931 Aldershot and Lieut Chevis, halfway through his favourite meal, Manchurian Partridge, very shortly afterwards is beset by excruciating pain and dies within a few hours by strychnine poisoning.
To add to the mystery, the family dog vanishes shortly afterwards and is then found dead.
On the day of his son’s funeral, Lieut Chevis’s ex Judge father, receives a cruel telegram from Dublin with the words: “Hooray Hooray Hooray”
Several days later, he receives a second telegram promising that the murderer will never be found – Hooray.
This case captivated the public and the papers! Who killed Lieut Chevis?
Was it his beautiful new wife?
Was it his beautiful new wife’s ex-husband who had only very recently suddenly reappeared?
Was it an enemy of Lieut Chevis or an enemy of his wife’s?
Or, our own personal theory – an enemy of his father’s, an ex-judicial judge in Lahore, India.
We take a look at the background, the evidence, and the papers regarding the curious case of William Chevis in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Camden Town Murder Mystery
News of the Times Episode 324 | 1907
1907 Camden Town London and upon returning home from his night shift on the train, Mr Shaw comes home to discover his girlfriend, pretty flirtatious Emily Dimmock brutally slain, half naked in bed. An effort seems to have been made to stage a robbery, but police are unconvinced. The severity of the crime, whilst Emily was sleeping, would seem to indicate a personal grudge.
Scotland Yard are brought in and, working with the slenderest of clues, they trace a suspect through a postcard that had been sent to her by a local artist – Edwardian England’s version of a graphic designer.
The case grips all the paper headlines for weeks. An ex girlfriend comes forward and tearfully condemns the yard’s primary person of interest. The case grows in fervour with the intelligence that famous defence lawyer Marshal Hall will be defending the suspect and that the judge of the court case is famed for his propensity of finding guilt.
We also investigate the tie of famed ripper suspect, Walter Sickert and his ties to the case.
We take a look at the case that resounded across the tabloids, the Camden Town murder mystery, in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

Stories of Jealous and Jilted
News of the Times Episode 323 | 1844 & 1878
Our first case from 1844 was so famous it was commemorated with a memorial of the poor victim.
Charlotte, a notably attractive milk maid with a list of men interested in her, works with Mathew Weekes. Mathew, lame, pockmarked and missing several teeth, has been enamoured with Charlotte for some time. On a quiet Sunday afternoon, he sees her walking along the path and catches up with her to converse with her. Charlotte, possibly aware of his admiration for her, begins to recount stories of the men who admire her and who she admires. Mathew snaps.
Our second case from 1878 is an all too familiar story of an abusive marriage where the woman, with support from a friend, finally manages to leave. Her husband, in a fit of jealous rage, plans out who he will kill, how he will kill and then puts his plan into action. The horrific murder takes place in front of several witnesses. The question is: is it murder or manslaughter?
Two case of murder motivated by jealousy and rejection is today’s episode of wicked Wednesdays.

Capturing the Killer
News of the Times Episode 322 | 1786
1783 England. In today’s episode we look at two cases from 1873 where the emphasis is on catching the killer.
In our first case, it is mid day and Mary is walking along the path on her way to do some tasks. Martin Laas, spots her, follows her, and accosts her for money. Mary declines. The brutal murder that follows on from the robbery entails stripping her naked and jumping on her to death in a ditch.
Our second case told in the papers focuses on the clever way the murderer has been caught. The publican’s daughter, sent on a task requested by her father, is followed by a customer, robbed and killed. But this murderer has a dog. The murderer’s own dog is used to catch him.
Two cases from 1783 on capturing a killer is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Sinful Saint - Franz Riembauer
News of the Times Episode 321 | 1829
It is 1829 Bavaria and Pastor Franz Riembauer, who some refer to as a living saint, stands accused by a 17 year old girl of having stolen her family’s farm, gotten her sister pregnant, killed and buried another mistress and then killed her sister and more as witnesses.
Her statements that are deemed improbable are nevertheless investigated. What unravels from investigations is a long litany of illegalities, three known murders, several mistresses, several abominable acts, theft and forgery that can be proven. Many more possibilities remain unproven
His crimes are unbelievable in 1829 Bavaria and take 4 years of painstaking searches to uncover the truth.
We took a look at the life and crimes of the sinful saint – Franz Reimbauer in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays

Stories of In-law Issues: Killing the Step-Parent
News of the Times Episode 319 | 1870-1871
Is there such a thing as justifiable homicide? Not in 1870 or 1871.
In today’s episode we look at two cases where the cliché of evil step-parent holds true and where the victim breaks.
In our first case from 1870, young William who holds down a steady job and also volunteers, has been in battle with his new alcoholic stepmother who regularly pawns his clothes, including his required uniform for the volunteer rifle corps he attends. A mix-up not of his doing in his pay infuriates her and she ensures he is without food for several days. Finally, William has had enough.
Our second appalling case from 187 involves Ann Burns who, as her mind begins to slip, goes to the police to confess. For many years it would seem she lived as wife to her stepfather, with her mother still living and aware. She begets 5 children with her stepfather. Then one day, she decides she cannot take it any more.
Two stories of murder against a step parent is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Stories of Employee Revenge
News of the Times Episode 315 | 1751 & 1849
In today’s episode we look at murdering a different kind of mistress back in the day – one’s employer. For centuries, this was considered one of the very worst crimes and punishment was meted out rigidly.
In our first case, it is 1751 and Norman Ross, a bright lad, has gotten himself into extreme financial difficulties through his dalliance with a fellow servant. Running out of options, he decides to take the extreme step of robbing his wealthy mistress. This goes catastrophically wrong. Scottish retribution is represented here in all its goriness as he is made to pay.
Our second case from 1849 was a famous case in its day. Young Sarah Thomas, 19 years old, has started a new position with the notoriously difficult Miss Jeffries. Wealthy Miss Jeffries, who leads a secluded life, has a reputation for abusing the few servants who will work for her. The relationship between Miss Jeffries and Sarah Thomas ends quickly and with a room saturated in blood.
Two cases of murdering the mistress, their employer, is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

His wife, who should be home, does not answer.
Mr Noel goes to the side window, looks in, only to see his wife dead in a pool of blood. The family dog which is devoted to her is standing guard by her body.
The apparent house robbery has been staged and there was strangely no noise heard from the dog who had a reputation of viciousness and loud barking with any stranger.

Ruthless Richard Edwards
News of the Times Episode 312 | 1842
It is 1848 in the mining town of Merthyr Tydfil in Wales. 72 year old Tamar Edwards has gone missing from her small dilapidated cottage within the village. Her son, who has just recently reunited with his wife, has moved her into his mother’s cottage and explains his mother’s disappearance as her having gone to visit in the next parish. The couple sleep in his mother’s bed.
It is payday and Edwards, Tamar’s son, must make the trip into the next town to pick up his wages. His instruction to his wife is to not look under the bed. The wife consults with her friends and neighbours who think she should look under the bed in which she and her husband have been sleeping. A gruesome discovery awaits. From here, accusations fly as to who was actually responsible for the body under the bed.
We take a look at the disappearance of Tamar Edwards in this crime story from 1848 rural Wales in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

Stories of Murders of Mothers
News of the Times Episode 311 | 1775 & 1848
The killing of the mother, Matricide, has historically been considered one of the blackest of crimes.
In today’s episode we look at two cases where the adult offspring has planned and carried out the murder of their respective mothers with chilling coldness.
Our first case from 1775 involves a single mother who runs a girl’s school. Her son, who lives at home and does not seem to have held a viable job, resents being reprimanded or told what to do. Just as she goes up to make his bed, the horror begins.
Our second case from 1848 involves a very sad case of elder abuse which seems to have increased in intensity until a fatal blow followed by an attempt to burn the body by her 50 year old daughter.
Two terrible cases of murdering the mother is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Our second case from 1850 was a love match between two youngsters of different social class backgrounds, both respected. Despite the social class differences, an intimacy develops, and the young woman becomes pregnant. Very pregnant, and it would seme the majority of the village is aware of it.

The Warley Gap Murder
News of the Times Episode 308 | 1903
It is 1903 in the beautiful area of Warley Gap, in Essex.
Respectable local girl, Maud Garret, 19, is found terribly brutally slain in a field not far from the 2nd battalion Essex. Maud had been known to be walking with a soldier there – an Edwardian version of dating – and had been seen by many.
The murder of a local girl is bad enough, but Maud has been savagely outraged as well as having been beaten multiple times on her face with what is believed to be a cane. It is considered one of the most brutal murders ever seen in the area’s history.
Who could have done this and why? We take a look at the background, the crime and the capture of the Warley Gap murderer in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.
We very much hope you enjoy the show!

Chilling Charles Boyle
News of the Times Episode 308 | 1924
A young girl, upon arriving back to the flat shared with her mother, finds herself unable to get in. Impatiently knocking on the door and receiving no response, she goes to a neighbour and borrows the ley.
Opening the door reveals a scene of horror with her mother, and two neighbour children, lying in pools of blood – their throats horrible slashed.
This shocking story at the time was used as an impetus to attempt to renew efforts of support to lower income families and give aid to those in the tenement areas of Glasgow. The story of alcoholism, deprivation, and mental illness was both disturbing and horrific.
We have kept the language of the day, some of which most certainly and quite rightly is inappropriate today. As always, we look to history as a barometer of how far, or not so far, we have come.

Murderous Stories of Inconvenient In-Laws
News of the Times Episode 307 | 1837 & 1861
Those pesky n-laws who get in the way of the whole purpose of having gotten married in the first place.
Our first case takes place in 1839. Charles Bartlett, who works as an entertainer with a travelling show, has met and married a young girl, scarcely 18, who brings with her an initial dowry of £45! Upon her mother’s death, she will inherit another £50!
Sadly, the mother-in-law is shot at from behind within a month of the marriage. Charles was the last person to see her alive…
Our second case from 1861 takes place in the peaceable parish of Anglesey, North Wales. Richard Rowlands has married the recently widowed daughter of a prosperous farmer. Unfortunately, the father rather despises Richard and gives him a deadline to pack up his things, and his new family, and remove himself from his property. There is one day left before he is required to leave when coincidentally, the father-in-law is beaten to death on a lonely pathway as he is walking home.
Two murderous cases of inconvenient in laws is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Southend Murderer: Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 305 | 1894
It is 1894 and on the outskirts of a small village, a woman is found dead in a dry brook. She is heavily pregnant and well dressed. She has been shot above her ear; with no gun nearby, this is murder not suicide.
Scotland Yard’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) are called in and immediately track down a potential suspect, despite his attempts at a change of identity.
This remarkable case surrounds a serial bigamist whose house of cards were beginning to fall down with the dead woman, Florence Dennis, being the tipping point.
We take a look at the crime, the suspect and the capture of the Southend Murderer in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Killing at Coachford
News of the Times Episode 303 | 1887
It is 1887, just in the preamble of the ripper killings that will leave a long-lasting scar on the country’s consciousness. This was a story that consumed the UK.
Dr Cross, a highly respected retired military man, and it sounds like a bit of curmudgeon with the locals, has shocked society with his revolving door of buried wife followed quickly by marriage of a girl who could easily be his grandchild.
There had been fights and recriminations between the good Dr and Mrs Cross before she passed. During her illness, her husband had become unexpectedly newly caring and solicitous. With the speedy burial and even more speedy marriage, neighbours talked. Police listened.
We take a look at this remarkable case of a surgeon, his young mistress and the killing of his wife in Coachford, Ireland in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Two Tales of Revenge
News of the Times Episode 302 | 1849 & 1934
In todays episode we look at two tales were mothers feature strongly as does revenge.
Our first story from 1849 sees young John Ward making advances to the household servant which is not reciprocated. Wishing to marry her, the mother steps in forcibly with fatal consequences.
Our second story from 1934 is highly unusual in several ways: the age of the bride, the carrier pigeon, the strong role of the mothers, and the twisting path of the trials. Young Violet is not finding married life something she wants to do, so she goes back to mother. The news does not go down well with her husband.
Mothers and revenge are the main themes in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Babington Plot against Queen Elizabeth I
News of the Times Episode 299 | 1586
It is 1587 and England is undergoing simmering tension within the country, and externally from international pressure. The Pope has ex-communicated Queen Elizabeth I and actively encourages true Catholics to remover her from the throne. The figure head for the opposition is the imprisoned Mary Stuart, Queen of the Scots.
This and other failed attempts to oust Queen Elizabeth leads to the infamous Babington Plot within England contrived in part by the potential assassin, Anthony Babington, who is, actually the unknowing puppet of Queen Elisabeth’s spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham
This story involves spies, counter-espionage, double agents, royalty and treachery leading to the execution of an anointed queen. We take a whistlestop look at this complicated story. The buildup, the players within this drama, the trap and the capture, that ultimately lead to Mary Stuart’s final doom.
The Babington Plot against Queen Elizabeth I is today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

It is 1901 and there are three people travelling towards London in a third class railway carriage. All of the sudden, one of the passengers gets up, shoots point blank at a fellow passenger, and then shoots the other in the face when she speaks.

Aristocratic Chronicles: Two Tales of Murderous Philips
News of the Times Episode 297 | 1678 & 1688
In today’s episode we look at two murderous cases, within aristocratic circles, involving protagonists named Philip.
In our first case of 1678, Charles II - the party king - is the reigning monarch. Philip, The 7th earl of Pembroke seems to have inherited his father's notorious quick and violent temper. Having just been released from the Tower of London, he visits a pub where he casually meets two others. Upset by a cutting remark made to him, he kicks his victim to death. It is quite possible; this was the first of three murders to take place as his hands.
Our second case from 1688 involves the eldest son of Sir James Stansfield referred to as a dissolute drunkard and who regularly racks up thousands of pounds of debt. His despisal for his father is very well known and exacerbated by his father recently cutting him out of his will. Rumours are spread about the insanity of Sir James by his now disinherited son. And then Sir James is found dead in the garden pond.
A look at two murderous aristocratic Philips is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Stories of Sibling Murder
News of the Times Episode 293 | 1873-1875
The killing of a sibling, another child one has grown up with, without the motivation of financial gain, is relatively rare.
In today’s episode we look at three cases where the sibling has been convicted of their sibling’s murder.
Our first case from 1873 is particularly odd as it recounts the story of a woman of some 75 years who murders her older sister, with a pitchfork. Her older sister is around 80 years of age.
Our second case from 1874 recounts the murder of a brother who disapproves of his much younger sister’s budding romance. She is found in a field with her throat slashed.
Our last case from 1875 Jersey retells the murder of a sister and the attempted murder of her husband. This case is particularly unique as it involves a public execution some 7 years after public executions had been abolished in England.
Three cases of a sister and brothers murdering their respective siblings is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The Murder of Rhoda Carter
News of the Times Episode 292 | 1893
1893 Watchfield in Berkshire and relatively newly married Rhoda Carter has gone missing. It is high summer, yet John, her husband, has had a huge fire going on in the washroom giving off a terrible stench. His story of his wife going to help her pregnant sister turns out to be false. Returning to ask more questions, John himself has vanished.
This case gripped the papers due to the extreme mutilations of the body. As investigations are pursued, it would seem that Rhoda was wife number three who has either had a terrible accident or vanished.
The case was so famous in its time, and the crime so horrifically brutal, that the murderer’s wax effigy spent many years in Mme Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors.
We look at the background, the crime and the capture of the murderer of Rhoda carter in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Dark Side of Aristocracy in 1700's
News of the Times Episode 290 | 1729 & 1768
Our first case from 1729 created a scandal that went on for decades. Lady Abergavenny has become intimately close with their nearest neighbour 7 miles away. As suspicions rise with the secretary to Lord Abergavenny, the Lady is caught “in the act”.
Our second case from 1768 concerns Lord Baltimore – the family who owned Maryland. Lord Baltimore, a confessed “libertine”, admires the turkish way of life involving harems which Lord Baltimore incorporates into his houses in England. Acting very much like an 18th century version of Jeffrey Epstein, this case was the headline of its day as one of his victims incredibly fights back.
Two outrageous cases touching upon the dark side of the ruling classes in the 1700’s is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

It is 1907 Croydon, South London and wealthy widow Mrs Blume has unexpectedly died a few weeks after taking in her new lodger. Even more surprisingly, she has left her considerable estate to the same new lodger. The daughter, who has been utterly cut out of her mother’s will and had seen her four days before her death, is suspicious and contests the will.
And from here, a tragic tale of more deaths unfolds as the lodger scrambles to cover his tracks. Poisoned stout, wrong victims and masonic pleas for help are all part of the dark tableau of the Croydon Killer in today’s episode of Sinister Saturdays.

The Attempted Ravishing of Miss Dickinson
News of the Times Episode 286 | 1875
1875 London, and all of England is agog with the scandal that Colonel Valentine Baker, personal friend of Bertie, Prince of Wales, soldier within the Queen’s Guard – a highly prestigious position - and celebrated war hero has been accused of an assault of a sexual nature on a train against a young lady whom he does not know.
As further details come out, it would seem that it had been an attempted ravishing – another word for rape in Victorian England. The case is further amplified by the young woman hanging out of a train for 5 miles rather than submit to his attack.
The case’s salacious and celebrity status – Colonel Baker regularly rubbing shoulders with the aristocracy and highest echelons of society – ensures that this is the only topic of conversation in London society at the time.
We take a look at the crime, the case and the trial of the attempted ravishing of Miss Dickinson in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays

The Wheeler Family Murder Cases
News of the Times Episode 285 | 1880 & 1890
Today’s episode looks at two series of killings, 10 years apart, by the same family.
The first murder takes place in Hertfordshire with Thomas Wheeler blowing the head off of the man he intends to rob. Descriptions speak of brain matter on the ceiling and walls. A very sad case, but not so uncommon. His 14 year old daughter takes her father’s execution badly.
Almost exactly ten years later and the daughter is involved in a truly horrific double murder of her love rival and baby. The case was considered so shocking, it remained as a display at Madame Tussaud’s for years.
Murder cases from the Wheeler family 10 years apart is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Monte Carlo Trunk Murder
News of the Times Episode 284 | 1907
Marseille, 1907 and the porter has noticed a terrible odour and what seems to be blood oozing from one of the trunks of Sir and Lady Goold who have only just arrived from Monte Carlo. Insisting that police become involved, a naked dismembered body of a woman is revealed. An accompanying valise holds the head and the limbs. The hand luggage holds thousands in jewels.
This international story of the Goolds - a former Wimbledon finalist married to a twice divorced older Canadian woman - with their pretentions to aristocracy, captivated both sides of the channel and brought in Scotland Yard.
We delve into the background, the crime and the capture of the famous case of the Monte Carlo Trunk Murder in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Leiden Poisoner
News of the Times Episode 282 | 1883
In 1883 Netherlands, Leiden was rocked by the realisation that they had a serial killer on their hands who had been killing for years without anyone suspecting a thing.
Maria van Der Linden, as the British press referred to her, like Helen Jegado, was so kind, so thoughtful, everyone’s auntie, that no one suspected a thing as she speculatively systematically killed over 100.
Her motive initially was gain, but with the ability to decide who lived and who died, it would seem in the end before she was caught, much of the time she was murdering because she could.
We take a look at the person, the crimes and how she was eventually caught, in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays - The Leiden Poisoner.

A Scottish Murder Love Triangle - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 281 | 1765
1765 County Forfar Scotland and 21 year old newly married Katharine Nairn, wed to 40ish bookish Thomas Ogilvie, is the topic of gossip within the household and the community. Dashing younger brother Lieutenant Patrick Ogilvie has arrived back from East India and a warm, and some say, intimate relationship has quickly developed between Katharine and Patrick. A dangerous game as any kind of relationship between the two would legally be termed incestuous with severe penalties involved.
As the relationship grows, Patrick is banished from the house. A plan is hatched between the two lovers that would not only allow them to be together but also enable Patrick to be the new Laird with title and inheritance.
But waiting in the wings is the partner of the third brother watching, spying and reporting. With both brothers gone, the youngest brother would become sole inheritor and the new Laird.
A salacious, tangled love triangle that turned to murder from Scotland 1765 is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Two Cases of Killer Catherines - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 280 | 1850 & 1890
In today’s episode we look at two cases where the killer was named Catherine.
Our first case from 1840 Ireland tells a famous murder case in its day. Catherine has left her drunken husband and moved back with her mother. Although the drunken husband leaves for a while, he returns. The murder that ensued is most notable for the attempted cover-up with the involvement of Catherine’s mother who was also charged. It was unusual to have both mother and daughter in the dock for murder.
Our second Catherine case takes place in 1890 Oxford University. Catherine has been having a running affair with the junior dean of the College. With a gift and an explanation that their relationship is finished, Catherine is in a fury when she realises that he will be marrying someone else and takes what she believes to be justice into her own hands. This scandal in Oxford was huge in its day.
Two cases of killer Catherines from 1850 and 1890 is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Village of Assassins - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
It is 1929 in a small village in Hungary – a village which over several years is going against the growth rate taking place in the surrounding villages. What is odder still, the incredible death rate seems to be striking the predominantly middle to older male population.
The village statistics in terms of percentage of land holding women is also strangely higher than the average.
What unfolds is a web of treachery and murder involving a group of women with one deadly female as the mastermind supplying the poison and teaching the others how to use the poison to avoid detection. As officials come to grips with the murder spree happening in their village, what emerges is a village filled with serial killers – in effect, a village of assassins.
We take a look at the background, the crimes and the stories of the murders in the Hungarian village of assassins in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

The Littlehampton Poison Pen Letter Mystery
News of the Times Episode 276 | 1920 - 1923
1920 Littlehampton Surrey residents are being bombarded by vile language, threats, and libellous comments through letters and post cards. The centre recipient, it would seem, is quiet and highly respectable Miss Swan and anyone who is associated with her.
Then, the vile letters move onto other respectalble residents of the community. As the poison pen letters deluge the town over a three year period, Scotland Yard is brought in. What follows is what was considered an impressive sting operation at the time to catch the culprit red-handed.
Worthy of an Agatah Christie novel – and we question whether at least one of her Miss Marple stories was not inspired by this true tale – the Littlehampton Poison Pen Letter Mystery is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Our first case from Derry 1881 tells the take of an 80 year old man who has committed suicide according to his 40 year old wife. Did the man even have the strength to pull a trigger is one of the many questions that arise in this case.
Our second story takes place in 1887 Galway where nurse Mary Rielly is discovered literally cooking her patient alive.
Our last case from 1902 involves a love triangle that the husband falls victim of. What is astonishing in this case is the role of the children…
Three cases of murderous women of Ireland exacting the ultimate crime is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

The Gibetted Ones - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 268 | 1776 - 1832
Today’s episode of gibbeted ones looks at three cases where those found guilty of their crime are condemned to what was considered the worst death: gibbeting and hung for all to see as their bodies where slowly eaten by birds.
Our first case from 1776 recounts the story of a butcher who wishes to see for himself if human flesh really does taste like pork…
Our second case from 1815 recounts the tale of Anthony, a young lad who has gotten a local girl pregnant. Anthony looks for any way he can to avoid the financial responsibilities he will be saddled with for years to come.
Our third case is the famous Cook case from 1832 where, pressed to pay an outstanding debt, Cook snaps. What unfolds is an attempt to completely annihilate the debt collector requesting payment. It was the last case of gibbeting in England before its abolishment.
Three cases where gibbeting was handed down – the ultimate punishment – in today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Mr Stanger
Scotland Yard Casebook
News of the Times Episode 267 | 1882
1882 Whitechapel and immigrants Mr Stanger and his wife, Elizabeth Stanger, start up what becomes a very successful bakery. It is so successful, additional help is needed. Enter family friend, Mr Fritz Stumm.
Local gossips quickly start to whisper about the clear affection between Mrs Stanger and Mr Stumm. And then, quite abruptly, Mr Stanger vanishes! Within a week, Mr Stumm has left his wife and moved into the Stanger household. The depletion of bank accounts, and the signing over of the bakery to Stumm quickly follows – and yet, there is no accounting of where Mr Stanger has gone. The bakery meat pies are looked at with a fresh eye by the neighbourhood…
Scotland Yard were called into this case as the hunt for the expected body was on.
We take a look at the story behind the mysterious disappearance of Mr Stanger in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

Bluebeard Bela Kiss - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 266 | 1912 - 1929?
From 1912 Hungary, one of the worst serial killers, enticing women around the world with promises of marriage, began his horrific spree. Bela Kiss, popular with neighbours and always with plenty of money to spend, killed woman after woman, girl after girl, and then pickled them n alcohol or buried them around his house. Bodies were found in his hen house, shed, garden, and the surrounding woods as well as in the ominous caskets found in his cellar. When he was not fully killing women, he would entice women, knock them out and take their possessions, leaving them in the street.
We take a look at the life and crimes of Bela Kiss in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Murder and Scandal in Wales - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 265 | 1875 & 1892
1892 Abergavenny and frequent visitor of the local police, who has only just been released, is found dead in a heap with her throat cut all the way to the spine. As the country as a whole is still recovering from the nightmare of Jack the Ripper, there is an element of panic.
Our second tale from 1875 was infamous in Wales at the time. The Anglesey Clerical Scandal started off as an investigation into a mysterious death. But what rapidly unfolds is a case involving incest and fraud with a curate in charge of two parishes and the private chaplain to Lord Bolton.
Murder and scandal from Abergavenny and Anglesey Wales is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

corned: Jilted Partners and Vengeance - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 264 | 1910
Rejection not being taken well is a theme that has not changed over time. In today’s episode we look at five cases involving jilted lovers and the vengeance they extract.
Our first story from 1871 involves an older lodger and his attraction to the young maiden of the house who kindly declines. What happens is horror.
Our second story involves a less murderous tale of a school mistress who is jilted twice by the same man. It is a costly change of heart.
Our third story from 1892 involves a man on the brink of marriage who is unequivocally dumped weeks away from his wedding. The result is a double murder.
Our fourth story is a short story of jilted love from France.
Our last story is a relationship between a prisoner and his girl on the outside who has had enough of waiting for him. Vengeance is his.
Five tales of love lost and the vengeance extracted is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The Notorious Case of Charles Peace - Murderous Mondays
News of the Times Episode 263 | 1879
Charles Peace, a notorious figure in Victorian England, was infamous for his criminal activities as a master burglar and murderer. Born in Sheffield in 1832, Peace developed a knack for deception and disguise, earning him the moniker of the "man of a thousand faces."
As a type of “Moriarty” character, despite his outward appearance as a well-dressed and respectable gentleman, Peace led a double life of crime. He carried out daring burglaries, often using his skills as a locksmith to gain entry into wealthy homes.
One of Peace's most notorious acts was the murder of Arthur Dyson, the husband of a woman with whom Peace had allegedly been romantically involved.
Master burglar, violin virtuoso, man of 1000 disguises and murderer – we take a look at the life and crimes of Charles Peace in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The 10 Fold Bolton Murderess - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 261 | 1842
1842 Little Bolton, and there have been two unexpected successive deaths in the Eccles household. As Mrs Eccles goes to the factory to collect on the insurance policy of one of the dead, questions are asked.
What unfolds is a stream of deaths dating back years to people within her immediate household. What was particularly interesting was that in most of the cases, no discernible motive could be found – the paltry insurance to be collected was far smaller than the regular wages that had been handed over to her by the victim. Betty Eccles seemed to be under the illusion that she could talk her way out of the mountain of proof set against her. It was said between 20,000 and 30,000 attended her execution.
We investigate the case of the ten-fold plus murderess from Bolton in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Murders in Cheshire - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 260 | 1861 & 1881
Our first case from 1861 is the famous Martin Doyle case – one of the few prisoners who, quite unusually, was executed for attempted murder. The absolute repeated battering in the face of his victim who he left for dead was thwarted as she survived and managed to crawl into the road for help. As she gave evidence with difficulty at his trial, it was said her features were so mangled it was hard to believe she was still alive.
Our second case from 1881 is the all too sad familiar case of a drunken spree of a couple that goes terribly wrong. What sets this case apart was the incredibly horrible and unique way in which he killed her. The principal witness in the trial was the nine-year-old daughter.
Two historic cases of murder from Cheshire is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Love and Murder in 1700's - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 259 | 1700s
Love and Murder, a dark timeless theme. In today’s episode we jump back to American revolutionary times to look at three cases where the dark side of love combines with murder.
1721 and Matthew Clarke, in want of money, slays a barmaid. What made this crime so horrific is that he did it whilst kissing her.
1791 and “legal chastisement” spoils over to murder. An interesting case that gives a window into life as a wife in 18th century England.
1794 and a mistress of a landed gentleman has been dumped as he moves forward and weds another. Now ruined and with no prospects in sight, Anne plots revenge.
Three cases from the 1700’s where love and murder merge into one is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Socialite Serial Killer
News of the Times Episode 257 | 1895
1894 Antwerp Belgium and one of the top leading social lights of the country is arrested for the murder of three relatives who were all heavily insured. As the story unfolds into the life of a couple who were considered wealthy and leaders within society, what begins to become clear to investigators is that despite appearances, this was a woman desperate for money. Spending far above actual income, and living on credit, it would seem that a family member had to die every time the creditors were closing in.
As investigations are pursued, questions are asked regarding other deaths within the circle of Madame Joniaux
We look at the history, crime and capture of the socialite serial killer in 1894 Belgium in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Stories of Fatal Betrayal
News of the Times Episode 255 | 1887 & 1901
In today’s episode, we look at two cases where love takes a sinister turn into fatal betrayal.
In our first case from 1887 Preston, a young couple who have been dating several months, decide to make the bold move of giving up their domestic service jobs in England and move to America for a fresh start and a fresh life. Annie, a young girl of virtuous temperament, insists that they marry before the long boat ride there. Her partner wishes to wait for the marriage to take place upon arrival in their new country. The disagreement leads to murder.
In our second case from 1901 Eastbourne, strange shots are heard from a locked room in a boarding house. There, Alice is found slumped in a chair with a dangerous wound whilst Charly, her known beau, lies dead on the floor at her feet. But who shot whom? And why did the murder take place?
Two cases of murder and betrayal are today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Eight Fold Murderer - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 253 | 1924
Within Germany, the case of Fritz Angerstein, the Eight-Fold Murderer, is still remembered today.
The brutal slayings take place in a rural village in Westphalia Germany in 1924. Angerstein and his sickly wife live in a large company house which has two office rooms with staff on the bottom floor. Some years before, Angerstein has begun siphoning off money from the company to pay off his own debts. His wife, who has had poor health for some time, is joined by her mother with whom Angerstein has a difficult relationship.
Angerstein, who by all accounts doted on his wife, is distraught as his wife’s medical condition worsens. His already poor relationship with his mother-in-law worsens. Simultaneously, the company have discovered his embezzlement and confront him.
What unfolds is a horrific slaying of family, servants and company personnel with Angerstein initially stating that the slaughter was the work of 25 robbers who had escaped into the woods.
We look at the buildup, the crime and the capture of Germany’s Eight-Fold murderer in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Murderous Court Jester - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 252 | 1650's
In today’s episode, we are in Cumbria sometime in the 17th century, at Muncaster Castle owned by the Pennington family. A favoured servant, Thomas Skelton, is with them.
Historically, many a tale exists of Tom Skelton who could be the original killer clown. As the court jester, his job was to amuse and sometimes act as confidant to the family he served. Tom, it would seem, took his role to a new step. There are many tales of Tom directing passers by that he took a dislike to to their death. It was said that he had killed hundreds in this way.
In this episode we look at the gory murder of the house carpenter who made the double mistake of teasing Tom and having an illicit relationship with the maiden of the house Helwise.
The murderous court jester, Thomas Skelton, is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Tales of Murderous Victorian Police - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
Our first case from 1860 is a robbery and murder that then unfurls into a tale even more nefarious. Accusations are made as to who the culprit is with a view to getting their hands on the £300 reward money. But are they telling the truth or are they framing another for the murder they themselves committed? Scotland Yard became involved in this one and managed to see through the smoke and mirrors.
Our second case from 1897 is a bizarre and twisting tale as a young girl forms an intimacy with a married retired policeman resulting in a child. As the policeman’s panic sets in when she threatens to call in authorities, she ends up dead. But was it murder or suicide? And what role did the wife play?
Two twisted tales of murder involving Victorian policemen is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Female Bluebeard - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 249 | 1843
This story from 1843 was considered shocking in its time.
Sarah Dazley (Daiseley) was attractive, flirtatious, and strong willed. Having seen her mother use her own charms with men to get ahead, it would seem that Sarah had learned by example.
As was usual at the time, Sarah married young and had a child with him. And then the series of mysterious deaths begins. Sarah’s case is not helped in that she seems to move to another husband very shortly after who also conveniently dies. She is on potential husband number three when she is caught.
We take a look at this famous case and the woman the press dubbed “The Female Bluebeard” in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Murder and Cannibalism - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 248 | 1845 - 1888
In today’s episode we are looking at three cases of human beings placed under the harshest of conditions and the murder and documented cannibalism that ensued.
Our first case from 1845 is the doomed attempt to find the Northwest passage. Scurvy, food poisoning, and ultimately cannibalism in the arctic eventually is believed to have killed off all 127 crew members.
Our second case from 1884 took place in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The 7 survivors, days away from dying, admit to having had to resort t murder, then cannibalism.
Our last case from 1888 is still remembered today in the UK. Losing their ship and living in a small craft in open ocean with no water or food - one of them must be sacrificed to feed the others.
Three cases of murder and cannibalism is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Forgotten Ripper Victims - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 247 | 1888-1891
Historically, there has been much speculation regarding possible murders beyond the ripper “canonical five”. At the time, the police were highly motivated and pressured to give an appearance that they had a grip on the killings and that their counter actions were having a positive impact in reducing the number of horrific murders. But were they successful in keeping the ripper down to only five killings?
In today’s episode we look at three killings in the area between 1888 and 1891 that historians have speculated were ripper killings. We take a look at the three victims and delve into the question of whether there were more ripper killings occurring beyond Mary Jane Kelly.
Three cases of murders that historians speculate could have bene ripper killings is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Doctors of Death - History Compilation
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
In today’s history compilation, we look at four doctors of death:
Dr William Palmer -the “Prince of Poisoners” 1855. Referenced by Sherlock Holmes, Dr Palmer loved to gamble thereby requiring large amounts of money. Palmer worked his way through acquaintances unfortunate to have been waylaid onto his path, friends who he watched die excruciatingly, and several family members.
Dr Smethurst 1859. Married Dr Smethurst starts an intimacy with a woman of independent means. Bigamously marrying her, her health starts to fail almost immediately, but not before she conveniently signs over all her possessions before dying.
Dr Pritchard 1863. Pritchard, referenced as the “Scottish Palmer” was always in search of women and money. Mysterious fires, with insurance claims, and even more mysterious deaths followed him.
Dr Buck Ruckston 1935. Ruckston, historically referred to as the “Jigsaw Murderer”, was popular with his patients and was an extremely jealous man. One day, he just snaps. What evolves is a bloodbath as he attempts to dispose of bodies. This case featured some very m0odern, in its day, forensic investigation.
Four cases of doctors who left a trail of death and destruction is today’s episode of Doctors of Death - History Compilation.

Prison Hulk Horrors
News of the Times Episode 243 | 1776 - 1857
In the hell that was England’s prisons, one type of incarceration which was deemed even worse than Newgate, was the prison hulk. Created as an emergency measure to cope with the surge of convicts now no longer able to be shipped to the colonies due to the American Revolution, these old, decommissioned vessels were fitted to house up to 245 convicts per floor with an average mortality rate of over 25%.
We take a look at the history of these floating hulk horrors and some of the escape stories in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Bloodthirsty Women in History
News of the Times Episode 242 | 1450 - 1905
In 1905, the question is asked in the papers: Are Women more Bloodthirsty Than Men?
This news article looks at several ruthless female killers in history and thre crimes they committed including murderers:
American Belle Gunness
French Jeanne Weber
American Jane Toppan
French Madame de Brinvilliers
Catherine de Medici
Kate Bender and more!
The question is an interesting one as we have heard from some of our subscribers their understanding that female serial killers were unusual. We have not found this ourselves.
A question that still resounds today: Are women more bloodthirsty than men? Is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

The Monster Fritz Haarman - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
WARNING DISTURBING CONTENT
In the annals of crime, Fritz Haarman could be regarded as one of the worst killers of all time, or so said the English papers in 1923 as the horrific full nature of his many murders became unveiled.
His case was deemed worse than England’s Jack the Ripper in the press. Indeed, there are echoes 100 years later of Gacy and Dahmer when reading the Edwardian highly suppressed accounts of his crimes.
The monster, living fiend, German Jack the ripper – Fritz Haarman – is today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Murders in County Durham
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
Our first case of 1884 involves the actual stoning to death of Sergeant Smith in the tightly-knit colliery town of Butterknowle. There has been bad blood between Sergeant Smith and one of the local lads. Three young men are quickly picked up as suspects. The case itself was difficult – who had actually killed Sgt Smith? And would the community band with boys or look to see justice done? An interesting case with a very surprising ending.
Our second case from 1928 involves the shocking finding of a hand sticking up from the ground by a woman looking to collect some soil to re-pot her plant. Mr and Mrs Kirby are found buried – the autopsy reveals that they were both buried alive. The culprit is someone surprisingly close to home.
Two shocking cases of murder in County Durham is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Murder & "The Unwritten Law"
News of the Times Episode 238 | 1922 & 1926
The “Unwritten Law”, when a person can take vengeance on another for a slur upon the family honour, is very un-English. It is more to be expected from the French, although it is now called “Crimes of Passion”.
France is indeed the location of our first case which comes from Bordeaux in 1922. Actress Gabrelle Perron is being cheated upon with her husband having placed the new mistress in apartments across the street. In a fit of jealous passion, Mme Perron shoots her husband. The trial and verdict were worthy of a heavy melodrama that fascinated the English at the time.
Then, in 1926, we English had our own salacious version of the same love triangle with tragic consequences. The players in this drama are an international sports figure and the heir to two fortunes from Canada. Was it a planned murder, manslaughter, or just an unfortunate event? The theatrics from the defence, Sir Marshall Hall, had at least one member of the court in uncontrollable tears.
Two cases of murder and the “Unwritten Law” is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The French Ripper - Joseph Phillipe
News of the Times Episode 236 | 1871
In 1888, as London grappled with the vicious and what was regarded as the unprecedented horrific violence of an unknown killer prowling the streets, the press raised the case of Joseph Phillipe of some 25 years previously in France who they dubbed “The French Ripper”.
At the time, Paris dubbed their unknown assailant prowling the streets for women of easy virtue the “Terror of Paris”. Phillipe is believed to have killed at a minimum between 23 to 26 women in Paris over a three year period. However, a number of mysterious brutal deaths during his stint in Algiers is now believed to be where he began his trail of blood.
We look at the life and crimes of Joseph Phillipe, the French Ripper, in today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Scotland Yard Casebook: Murder at Road Hill House
News of the Times Episode 233 | 1860
In today’s episode we are in rural Wiltshire in 1860 where a dreadful murder has taken place with a three year old boy who has had his throat slashed to the spine with a furtive attempt to then stuff his body down the toilet head first.
Like a classic locked room mystery, only those in the household could have committed this evil deed. The tension within is palatable, with children from the first marriage resentful of wife number 2 and the new children.
As the local constabulary are viewed as bungling the investigation, the new Detective Department in London - the basis of Scotland Yard -is approached for help. They in turn send their very best at the time, the famous Jack Whicher, the “Prince of Detectives”, who was said to be the basis for Dickens famous Inspector Bucket.
The twists and turns of this infamous case in rural Wiltshire 1860 is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Notorious French Ogress Serial Killer - Jeanne Weber
Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 232 | 1905 - 1908
Today’s episode, from 1905 to 1908 France, investigates the case of Jeanne Weber, a thrice accused serial killer who managed to avoid justice twice. Employing strangulation techniques which were difficult to spot in Edwardian England, Jeanne Weber managed to evade justice several times, continue her killing spree over 2 years, and elicit apologies for her hounding from the newspapers. For some time, there was much sympathy within the press and within the public for Jeanne Weber, until she was caught red handed…
A fascinating 1905 French serial killer, whose preferred modus operandi was slow strangulation, is today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Firsts in Murder - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 230 | 1822 & 1886
In today’s episode we look at two cases which were “firsts” in their day for murder.
Our first episode takes place in France in 1823. Newly graduated Dr Castaing, with a mistress with expensive social and financial requirements, a household of 5 children and a large outstanding promissory note due, is in severe financial trouble. And then, suddenly and mysteriously, he is not! However, his two rather wealthy best friends have died in rather quick succession whilst in the loving care of Dr Castaing whose great specialty is in the then little-known subject of vegetable poisons…
Our second case from 1886 London sees Adelaide Bartlett in a three-way triangle with the active encouragement of her husband. They have an understanding. But eventually, Adelaide becomes quite attached to one of the men who has been pushed her way and wishes to disengage with her husband who has unexpectedly taken on a mysterious long-term illness. Adelaide’s treatment for his various health issues is chloroform…
Two firsts in medical murder is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Stories of Hand of God
Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 225 | 1650 & 1860
In today’s episode we look at two different sides of Hand of God stories.
Our first story, from 1650, recounts the tale of a woman who, having become pregnant by the insistent advances of a member of the household in which she worked, attests that she miscarried. Not knowing what to do, she buries the corpse which is then discovered.
Accusations fly of her having killed her child. She goes to trial and is convicted. The story that follows was considered nearly miraculous and a true Hand of God story.
Our next story from 1860 involves a relatively highly placed married clergyman who, pretending to be a widower, seduces the daughter of a fellow clergyman. She becomes pregnant. What unfolds then was astonishing. This story was considered highly scandalous in its day and made all the national papers.
The light and dark side of Hand of God stories is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Benbecula Island Serial Killer
News of the Times Episode 223 | 1857
In today’s episode, it is 1857 on a small island in Scotland in the Outer Hebrides and a madman is loose in the small isolated community. Body after body after body is discovered and the horror grows as it is realised that the person responsible is their son. This case was a sensation in the day and, we believe, an inspiration for the basis of at least one popular crime story.
An isolated community and a madman with an uncontrollable urge to kill is today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

Murder and Scandal in Oxfordshire - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 222 | 1829 & 1851
In today’s episode we are in Oxfordshire looking at a case of scandal and a case of murder.
Our scandal case from 1851 we came across accidentally whilst researching a different case. The Reverend Mr Charles James is slapped with a court summons regarding a fraud case he is alleged to be involved in. Mr James abandons his wife and family – an additional charge by the courts - and absconds to Preston. Here, he seduces the gravedigger’s daughter and, with promises of marriage, runs off with her where she is seduced and ruined. Much effort is put forward to chase him down and find him which is eventually successfully but results in yet another scandalous surprise.
Our second case from 1829, on the heels of the famous Red Barn murder which we covered earlier in Spectral Sleuths - Ghost Quest for Justice, involves a robbery and murder of a gardener and his cart in the dead of night - a type of car jacking at the time.
What made the case stand out is the supposed ethereal information experienced by the wife who was many miles away at the time of his death. Her vision, at the time of his murder, includes the nature of his wounds and, most importantly, who did it. The case was a real sensation in its day.
Scandal and murder in Oxfordshire is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Pies of Death
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
In today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays, we look at three stories of deadly pies.
Our first story from 1783 involves a veal pie. Interestingly, the news at this time was quite different from Victorian times. The case seems to be reported in a perfunctory way, almost as if this was a common thing.
Our second case from 1850, we have covered before regarding the stalking case of a famous actor at the time that led to a raspberry pie laced with Spanish fly in the mistaken belief that this would make him have a passion for her.
Our last case from 1852 was considered very racy in its day. An unhappily married woman falls for the young man who comes courting her sister. It would seem that intimate relations developed with the one stopper to eternal bliss being her husband. Bring on a deadly onion pie! Alas! Love seems to evaporate when potential execution looms, and the case developed into a he said / she said.
Three pies of death, and tales to tell the grandchildren around the dinner table, is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Axe and Tomahawk Killer
News of the Times Episode 219 | 1842
Today we look at one of Australia’s most notorious Serial Killers, John Lynch.
With a confessed kill count of 10, Lynch’s known killings start in 1836 due to a supposition of being ratted on by a fellow convict.
It is in 1842 when Lynch goes into a killing spree with anyone unlucky enough to come into his path. His primary motive ostensibly was for financial gain, but he seems to have taken real delight and pride in the multiple murders he committed.
Australian John Lynch, his axe and his series of bloody murders, is today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

The Limeslade Mystery - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 218 | 1927
Limeslade South Wales in 1927 is the scene of a tragic yet unremarkable occurrence of a woman battered outside her own house door in the evening after a night at the cinema with her next-door neighbour.
This sadly not uncommon event unfolds into a convoluted case involving blackmail, embezzlement, riches, mysterious antagonists, a famous writer and ties to royalty. Or does it?
The Limeslade Mystery gripped the papers and brought in Scotland Yard to track down the truth and the killer.
A whopping tall tale worthy of a spy novel from Limeslade South Wales 1927 is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Blood Bonds Broken: Killing Father - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 216 | 1751 - 1890
In today’s episode we look at three cases of killing father.
Our first case, from 1752 remains a famous one in the UK. Mary Blandy, potential spinster, has a promise of love from a rogue already married, gambling indebted, Captain. The only thing standing in the way of love and inheritance is her father.
The second case from 1871 involving a deadly scythe remains a question of accidental or purposeful killing.
The last case from 1890 generated much sympathy at the time. The victim, a brutal cruel man, is the intended target. But which brother was truly responsible? Both brothers blame the other…
Three cases of murdering father is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Murder in Paris - Murderous Mondays
News of the Times Episode 216 | 1856
In today’s episode we are in Paris France in 1856 where we look at a particularly gruesome crime with a poor attempt to dismember the body with a dull knife in a lodging house. The description of the crime is in far more detail than we normally see with English papers at the time.
This crime leads into our second story regarding the Paris Morgue which was a top “must see” tourist destination in Victorian Times and a mainstay of things to do for those living in Paris. Bodies were placed in large, windowed rooms for display, their clothes hanging besides them. Whole families would go for a day at the morgue as an alternative to going to the park. We take a look at this Victorian phenomena, its purpose and the fascination associated with it.

Serial Killer Saturdays: The Infamous Elizabeth Berry
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
In 1887, Elizabth Berry, a practising nurse in the local workhouse, has had an unfortunate string of deaths in her family. As with many a serial killer episode we have uploaded, it is the last death with then unravels a string of deaths over years. The fact all of the dead relatives were insured does not seem to have been picked up at the time.
This case was also particularly interesting as she knew her executioner and had had a dance with him 18 months before at the policeman’s ball. A new spin on the term “dancing with death”.
Elizabeth Berry, her life and crimes is today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

In today’s episode we take a look at two famous cases in their day involving shopkeepers.
We have covered before how dangerous being a housemaid could be – today we look at the dangers associated with being a shopkeeper.

Our second story from 1903 involves a recently released prisoner who has come up with the perfect plan to gain his fortune quickly by gaining the trust of shopkeepers and their families, annihilating them, and then taking over their business, property and households.
Two gripping cases of shopkeepers horrifically slaughtered in Victorian and Edwardian England is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

The Bermondsey Tragedy - Murderous Mondays
News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
This story from 1872 Bermondsey – not to be confused with the famous Manning case which occurred some 23 years earlier also in Bermondsey - titillated the public with its whiff of illicit relations, jealousy, brutality and ultimately, murder.
The crime itself was clearcut. What became almost of more interest in the papers was the actions of the murderer after the crimes. This case also became a bone of contention for several weeks after the verdict – was he or wasn’t he insane?
We take a look at the buildup, the crime, and the murderer in today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

The Leveson Street Horror - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 211 | 1849
Today’s shocking story from 1849 was considered so hideous that the city changed the street name where the crime was committed.
Heavily pregnant Anne Hinrichson, whose husband is away, is having a normal day with her two small children and her maid who helps in the house. Anne has recently taken in a boarder to bring in some extra money.
What happens next created a brutal scene of horror for all unfortunates in the house. The terribly botched execution which followed was regarded by some as being true justice to the criminal.
We take a look at the horrific murders and the capture of the “monster”, as he was named in the press.
The ghastly slaying of a whole household in 1849 Liverpool is today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays

Family Killings in Ripon - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 210 | 1874
1874 was a remarkable year in Ripon North Yorkshire with two unrelated cases of family members killing other family members.
Our first case is a soldier on return to his parents’ home. It is not a happy return and William is eventually asked to leave the home by his father. On the day of his departure his 16 year old sister follows him. She is found dead with her dress above her knees. William has disappeared.
In our second story, poor Ann Barker, known to be physically and verbally abused by her husband and adult children is violently slain in the cellar.
Both cases put forward the insanity defence, but only one of the appeals succeeded.
Two violent family killings in Ripon North Yorkshire is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

News of the Times Episode 206 | 1882
A seemingly average Victorian family in 1882 is anything but! The scandal filled family, with the genteel façade, holds dark secrets between the various family members with behaviour from all parties that would raise eyebrows even in today’s more jaded society.
The case, with its various permutations shocked the Victorian public at the time as once again, it would seem it is the poor housemaid who ends up as the victim in the volatile family dynamics. Scandalous behaviour with an unforeseen murder in the outwardly respectable Golding family is today’s episode of Scandal and Murder on Merseyside.

The Dark Side of Lighthouses - Wicked Wednesdays
News of the Times Episode 205 | 1755-1933
In today’s episode we look at some of the dark history surrounding lighthouses. Madness, fatal accidents, fire and poisoning are only some of the many ways to die in a lighthouse.
We start with the conundrum – what to do with a dead body in a remote lighthouse? Throwing it into the sea may very well have other believe it was murder once the relief boat came. In the famous case of 1801, Thomas Howells come up with the only solution he has – to lash the corpse to the railings outside. It was said that with the right weather conditions, it looked to ships passing as if a lighthouse keeper was giving a friendly wave from what was actually a corpse.
This lighthouse story and more from events that took place between 1755 and 1933 is today episode of wicked Wednesdays.

News of the Times Episode 202 | 1810 & 1833
Ernest Augustus, The Duke of Cumberland, had a spectacular chequered life. In the time of King George III, The Duke of Cumberland was generally reviled by press and public, and some would say his own royal family. He had many a scandal including an alleged attack in the dead of night with a cutlas by a supposed disgruntled valet who then allegedly improbably killed himself so deeply he nearly severed his own head.
Some 20 years later, another long-term employee of the Duke allegedly committed suicide. Losing two servants in such a dramatic manner could be considered careless…

The Plumstead Poisoner - Serial Killer Saturdays
News of the Times Episode 199 | 1833
In today’s episode, it is 1833 Plumstead and wealthy and hale George Bodle has his usual morning breakfast of coffee and toast. His wife, still in bed, has a cup of coffee brought up to her.
The servants boil the coffee grinds a second time for their allotted coffee. Then the charwoman takes the coffee grounds to boil a third time for her daughter and 7 children, who did not like the look of them, so did not boil them for her children this morning.
Shortly after, all who had the coffee are desperately ill, but only 81-year-old George Bodle dies. It is clearly a case of poison – but who was the target victim? Was it wealthy George or was it the whole family? And who is the culprit? This story pits family member against family member and gripped the papers at the time.
This murderous story of a poisoning member of the family is today’s episode of serial killer Saturdays.

Murderous Stories from Suffolk - Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 198 | 1851 & 1920
In today’s episode, we are in Suffolk investigating two grisly murders that took place there.
In our first story, it is 1851 and pretty milk maid Mary Baker has been stabbed openly at a county fair, by her master, well to do farmer John Mickleburgh. We take a look at the antecedents to the crime and the reason why she was so violently murdered.
Our second story from 1920 is both disturbing and shocking, even by today’s more jaded standards. Some young boys who have collected at the local pond to go fishing are horrified to see a hand sticking out of the water which the press dubbed “the beckoning hand”. Thirteen-year-old Edith Howes has been murdered with her body dumped in the local pond. The identity of the murderer shocked the public.
Two grisly murder cases from the beautiful county of Suffolk is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Scandal and Murder Stories from the Stage
News of the Times Episode 194 | 1825 & 1895
Scandal and murder stories from the world of the theatre consumed the masses in Victorian Times. Today we look at two stories of the day.
Edmund Kean, within England, is still remembered as one of the premier actors of his day, most notably for his performances of Shakespeare. Kean’s private life seems to have been equally turbulent. A very public scandal with a married woman - his best friend’s wife – ensured an immediate fall from grace. He never recovered.
Arthur Dacre, actor, and his more famous new wife Amy Roselle, have bound themselves to only accept positions in which the two can be together. The work dries up and their debt grows. A plan is made to transport themselves to Australia where they are sure their fame would precede them. Things did not go as planned.
Two stories of scandal and tragedy from the world of the theatre is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

Housemaid Stories of Betrayal and Murder
News of the Times Episode 193 | 1824 - 1893
Housemaids made up almost 40% of the female workforce at one point.
Today’s episode looks at the unsuspecting dangers lurking in being a housemaid. From deciding to receive or not receive the attentions from members of the household, or going up in flames – a regular Victorian horror, or being murdered as an eye witness to the primary crime – being a housemaid was filled with potential danger.
Covering stories between 1824 and 1893, we investigate some of the stories where bad things happen to the housemaid.

Historical Crime Enigmas
In today’s episode we look at 2 shocking historical crimes of their day – one which remains unsolved and the other which becomes resolved 41 years later.
In 1843, Harriet Monckton, a pious and steady young lady of 23, is found dead in the church privy. Her body is saturated with prussic acid – more than 30 times the amount needed to kill - but there is no vial found near her, thereby ruling out possible suicide.
In 1919, attractive newly married 25 year old Mamie Stuart lives in a secluded cottage in Wales with her increasingly erratic husband. Mamie tells their landlady her thoughts of leaving to go to see her family. Mamie then simply vanishes. Her violently tempered husband is found to be now residing with his first wife. With no body, no charges can be brought against anyone. But, 41 years later her body is found!
These two unsolved cold cases are today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

Bad Daniel Good - The Murderous Butcher
News of the Times Episode 188 | 1842
In 1842 the horrific butchering of Jane Jones, followed by his attempts to burn her body parts in a fireplace sent shockwaves through the city.
The culprit was known, but after a humiliating escape from police, Daniel Good absconds. Nine police divisions are sent out to scour the city of London for the culprit.
But the elusive Mr Good manages to repeatedly keep himself just out of reach of the police until finally captured by an off-chance meeting with someone from his past.
This infamous case was a major factor in the decision to create a central intelligence unit as the police attempted to recover from the scathing newspaper reports and their perceived bungling in this horrific crime.
Bad Daniel Good, his gruesome crime, the strange tale of the discovery of the body, his trickery of the police and his eventual final capture is today’s episode of Murderous Mondays.

Serial Killer Children -- Two Elizabeths and a Mary
News of the Times Episode 187 | 1810 - 1867
In today’s episode of Serial Killer Saturdays, we look at three murder cases involving children under the age of 18. The stories take place between 1810 and 1867. As these are children, we have lowered the bar of serial killer label to two murders or murder attempts.
In one of our two murder cases, Mary, in her new blended family, is alleged to have killed her two infant brothers.
In our two other murder cases, the children, the two Elizabeths, settled in their new host family in the role of domestic servant, are finding the children in their care bothersome and the mistress demanding. What is a child to do?
The ease in which the murders and murder attempts are enacted and what would appear to be each child’s utter lack of remorse is chilling. Historical cases of Children Serial Killers is todays episode of Serial Killer Saturdays.

The Notorious Murders at Yarmouth
News of the Times Episode 186 | 1900 & 1912
In today’s episode of frightful Fridays we are in Yarmouth 1900 and 1912 as we delve into the mysterious double murders that took place there.
Pretty Mary Jane is found strangled with her own bootlace and left on the sand dunes of Yarmouth Beach in 1900. Living there under an assumed identity, her true identity and killer are eventually traced.
But, 12 years later, a similar crime takes place with the body found only a few hundred yards away from the original crime scene. Dora may has been killed with a bootlace and stockings in just the same way as Mary Jane 12 years earlier.
Was the wrong man executed originally? Is the real original killer back to murder again 12 years later? Or is there a copycat killer living quietly within the Yarmouth community?
Two Yarmouth murders with a similar signature killing style, within a 100 yards of each other, but 12 years apart, is today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

News of the Times Episode 185 | 1859
The Life and Trial of Dr Smethurst
The case of Dr Smethurst in Richmond was a sensation in its day as it appeared to many that he had gotten away with it and had actually profited from murder. He originally married a woman 20 years older than himself and it is implied that he was unhappy. Then , whilst in his 50’s, as his wife is in her 70’s, a torrid affair with a woman 10 years younger than himself who, conveniently, is independently wealthy.
Their bigamous marriage, a death bed written will and her subsequent murder raised alarm.
This case was actually reviewed by Queen Victoria.
Dr Smethurst, chemist, bigamist and alleged murderer is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

News of the Times Episode 181 | 1694 - 1909
Notorious Cases of Family Annihilations
DISTURBING CONTENT
Today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays looks at three stories where a family was utterly annihilated. Parents, partners, aunts, uncles, children – no one was safe.
Our first story from 1694 looks at infamous Thomas Austin as recounted from the Newgate Calendar.
Our second story from Germany in 1866 looks at the infamous Timm Thode annihilations – a feat he seemed to be almost proud of.
Our last story, back in England in 1909, looks at an all too familiar story of marital abuse with Samuel Atherley and the deadly slaughtering of his partner and three children.
Family annihilations is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays – and they are all very wicked indeed.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Pretty Jane Clouson is ecstatic to receive a letter from her Ned wishing to meet with her that night to give her some tremendous news. Jane is excited and tells her friends and family about her planned meeting with her Ned. She never returns.
On a lonely road, Jane is found bludgeoned so extensively that her brains are protruding over her eye. She has been bludgeoned face to face – she saw it happen.
This case became a cause celebre at the time, eventually leading to riots in town.

Murderous Stories From the Stage
News of the Times Episode 178 | 1850 & 1897
In today’s episode of Frightful Fridays, we look at two stories from the Victorian stage involving obsession and murder.
Our first story centres on newly widowed Martha Sharpe who imagines herself in a new life with handsome popular actor of his day, James Elphinstone. Martha’s stalking of the famed actor turns deadly as she plots a way of making him her own...
Our second story involves the well-known William Terriss, and a small bit part actor’s obsession with him. Fame and eventually any acting work at all eludes Richard Archer Prince as he sinks lower into poverty to the point of pawning his clothes. He is certain the cause of all his misfortunes is the famous Mr William Terriss. With no William Terriss, people will surely recognise his talent…
Two stories of obsession and murder from the stage for today’s episode of Frightful Fridays.

The Crumbles Murders - Part 2: Frightful Fridays
News of the Times Episode 174 | 1920
This 1920 murder in the beauty spot of “Crumbles” on the Eastbourne seaside was the first of two murders that took place in the scenic area some 4 years apart. Lovely 19-year-old Irene Munro, on her first holiday on her own, goes missing. Within a few days, a boy on a picnic with his mother discovers a foot sticking out of the shingle beach. Her face had been so battered that she could only be identified by the memorable green coat she had been wearing.
In today’s episode of Frightful Fridays, we explore the murder, the investigation and the catching of the two murderers, who, with defence attorney Marshall Hall representing them, spent much of their time laughing in court. But not for long.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

News of the Times Episode 173 | 1911
The Mussoorie Mystery - A Locked Room Murder Mystery
The Mussoorie Mystery is a famous locked room mystery that took place in Mussoorie India in 1911 at the opulent Savoy Hotel at the foothill of the Himalayas. Miss Frances Garnet-Orme, and her travelling companion, arrive to stay. Miss Orme is a noted spiritualist, and her companion has some local fame as a crystal gazer and clairvoyant. Unexpectedly, the companion leaves and Miss Orme is found murdered a few days later in a locked room. The absconded companion, who had been very vocally predicting her imminent death for weeks before, gets everything from the wealthy spinster. Did she “wish her to death” as was described at the time?
A classic locked room mystery is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.

News of the Times Episode 172 | 1935
The Jigsaw Murderer - Buck Ruxton: Murderous Mondays
WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
Buck Ruxton, the genial, well liked local doctor, had a volatile relationship with his common law wife, Isabella Kerr, until one day, he utterly snapped. He killed her, and killed the nurse maid as well. Then, with surgical skill, he cut up the body parts into 70 pieces, whilst cutting away every identifying mark - every mole, scar - anything identifying - including the fingerprints. The house, it was stated, was soaked in blood requiring hay to be spread around to soak it up.
This remarkable case used some modern forensic techniques of the time , including forensic entomology, to discover the identity of the victims and the identity of the jigsaw murderer who perpetrated the horrors.

The Mansfield Massacre - Serial Killer Saturdays
WARNING DISTURBING CONTENT
The Mansfield Massacre involved the brutal slaying of a family of four, which, if he had been successful, would have killed 7.
The brutality inflicted on Mary Reynolds by Henry Wright was said by the police to be worse than anything inflicted on any of the victims of the ripper murders. After the brutalisation and murder of the three others, the house was attempted to be burned down by the perpetrator, who, naked except for his socks, went to the police station holding a child on fire whilst he himself had attemted to slit his own throat.
The Mansfield massacre was a massacre in the truest sense. Not for the faint hearted.

Murder by Starvation: Wicked Wednesdays
In this episode, we plunge deep into the darkest and most harrowing cases from the annals of history where the murder was caused by the purposeful starvation of the victim. We explore the chilling tales of murder by the cruellest means imaginable.
Throughout history, there have been cases where individuals met their untimely demise not through weapons or poison, but through a slow, agonizing process of starvation. In this episode, we'll uncover some of the most shocking instances of this macabre method of murder.
The simple-minded heiress who was locked away from the rest of the world as her toy boy husband lavished her money and clothes on his 15-year-old mistress.
The cruel mother and son team who, after having taken her fortune, locked food away from the all too trusting wife as she slowly starved to death.
And the wealthy older husband who was left to slowly die by his younger wife in a filthy bedroom within his prestigious manor.

The French Bluebeard - Henri Desire Landru: Serial Killer Saturdays
Henri Désiré Landru was a notorious French serial killer who gained infamy as "The Bluebeard of Gambais" or "The French Bluebeard." He is one of the most well-known serial killers in French criminal history.
Landru's crimes took place during and after World War I, primarily between 1914 and 1919. He targeted vulnerable women, often widows or spinsters, who had placed personal advertisements in newspapers seeking companionship, romance or marriage.
Landru was the Edwardian version of a French killing tinder swindler or Edwardian Ted Bundy. His crimes, all particularly gruesome, contrasted greatly with his charming intelligent exterior.

Aristocracy: Murder and Scandal - Frightful Fridays
Laurence, Earl Ferrer, had a wicked temper. The murder he committed was so premeditated and considered so cruel for its time, there could be no pardon by rank, even as judged by The House of Lords, his peers. Instead he was doomed to swing at the scaffold of the commoners.
A beautiful heiress worth millions with a wide range of suitors to choose from, including the future king William IV. The choice she makes for husband has a profound impact on her, her family, her children and her heritage. The story of the Wiltshire heiress was the topic of its day in Jane Austen’s world.
Todays we look at murder and scandals within the aristocracy.

Forgotten Fridays 1764-1766
In today’s episode, we look at a story that consumed both sides of the English Channel – the murderous midwife whose house was a grave sight for over 50 babies. The punishment for her crimes was unique with calls for the same type of punishment to be brought over into England.
Runway indentured servants, space for additional lunatic patients, blood letting and stagecoach schedules for Christmas are in the mix. The episode finishes with the amazing story of Captain Glass. Before there was Jack Sparrow, there was Captain Glass!

News of the Times Episode 153 | 1800's
The World of the Victorian Scam Artist: Wicked Wednesdays
Although scam artists have been around since time immemorial, The Victorian era the rise of various types of scam artists, fraudsters, and beggars. With the divide between rich and poor at an extreme level, individuals used various tactics to exploit the vulnerabilities of their targets and make money through deception.
In today’s episode we look specifically at the Victorian version of the 21st century email phishing and scams: the begging letter and its enormous success at the time.
These letters were typically written by individuals claiming to be in dire circumstances or facing some sort of tragedy. They would appeal to the recipient's sympathy and generosity, asking for financial assistance. Social investigators of the time placed the fraud perpetrated by the begging letter industry into the millions.
We take a look at this trade, the London Mendicity Society and some notables who were swindled, including Charles Dickens in the World of the Victorian Scam Artist.

News of the Times Episode 152 | 1832 - 1879
A Collection of Macabre Murders | Twisted Tales Tuesdays
In today’s episode we look at some of the stories where murder was not enough. In these stories, murder was followed by an attempt to completely obliviate the victim.
We start with Charlotte Lawson and the horrific murder of her mistress in France. Followed by the infamous James Cook and Mr Paas case that was a sensation in its day.
Historically, one can argue that Kate Webster going so far as to attempt to boil off the flesh of the body parts and sell the fat is an impressive attempt at annihilation.
And we end with a love triangle that goes badly for the husband.

News of the Times Episode 151 | 1922
The Case of Herbet Rowse Armstrong: Murderous Mondays
In 1922, Herbert Rowse Armstrong was a well-respected solicitor in the quaint town of Hay-on-Wye. A slightly built dapper man, on the surface he seems devoted to his wife Katherine who is known for browbeating her husband and publicly humiliating him. But then, Katherine becomes very unwell, and a business rival also becomes violently ill after eating a scone handed to him by Armstrong.
We take a look at this famous case which won Armstrong the distinction of being the only solicitor in the history of the UK to have been hung for murder.

Robert Hitchens: The Man Who Sank the Titanic: Eccentric Sundays
Robert Hitchens – The Man Who Sank the Titanic - carried that title with him for the rest of his life. Besides driving the Titanic into an iceberg, questions of his actual culpability arose as well as whether he purposefully allowed drowning passengers to die rather than attempt to save those he could.
The event haunted his life ending in an attempted murder and two suicide attempts. In today’s episode of Eccentric Sundays, we look at the man and the stories surrounding Robert-Hichens – the man who sank the Titanic.

News of the Times Episode 148 | 1726 - 1728
Forgotten Fridays 1726-1728
In today’s episode of Forgotten Fridays, it is 1726 – 1728 and a country woman is supposedly giving birth to rabbits – some dead and some alive. There are a lot of them. Eminent doctors are sent forthwith to confirm this and agree that she is indeed giving birth to live rabbits.
The Mary Toft rabbit story headlines this episode with lots of other stories as well such as the man attempting to lure young boys away being caught and the husband making a public announcement that he was wrong and that his wife had not eloped with another, but had gone to visit her sisters.
Stories which give colour to what it was like for the ordinary person as well as those much more fortunate who had to find the wherewithal to purchase a new Peruke in order to be allowed in the presence of the King.

News of the Times Episode 147 | 1787 - 1871
Cross Dressing in Historical England = Wicked Wednesdays
Cross dressing in historical England was a brave move with the law, at least against men, being threateningly severe.
Today’s episode looks at some of the notable cases of cross dressing in historical England. We would like to note that although this falls under the auspices of “Wicked Wednesdays”, we do not in any way denote this as Wicked.
This series looks at more national cases and trends and tends towards a more sociological perspective, We commend the bravery of the chevalier, the young 14 year old girls, the impoverished brainy Dr Barry from Ireland and the actors, Boulton and Park, in Victorian England braving the potential severest of penalties to make a point.

News of the Times Episode 140 | 1857 - 1908
The Square Mile of Murders: Twisted Tuesdays
In the annals of Scotland’s history, certain chapters are shrouded in darkness, but none as infamous as the "Square Mile of Murder" that took place between 1857 and 1908.
Within this relatively compact region, a series of four of Scotland's most celebrated murders unfolded over a mere 51-year span. All of the murders were murky, with each murder case having aspects that remain mysterious to this day.
Did Madeleine Smith kill her potentially blackmailing lover?
Did Jessie McLachlan indeed slaughter her best friend or was it the patriarch father of the family?
Was the maid and possible lover of Dr Pritchard poisoned by him with the crime being covered up by a fire?
And what of the brutal slaying of Marion Gilchrist? Was a travesty of justice committed with the condemnation of Oscar Slater?
We delve into each of the cases and explore the similarities, if any, of the crimes in the Murderous Square Mile version of the Bermuda Triangle.

News of the Times Episode 138 | 1849-1912
William Stead: Seer and Victorian Influencer: Eccentric Sundays
William Thomas Stead was a British journalist, editor, social reformer, and arguably paranormal seer who played a significant role in shaping public opinion and investigative journalism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
One of Stead's most notable and impactful works was his series titled "The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon," published in 1885. In this series, Stead exposed the trafficking of young girls for prostitution, shedding light on the horrors of child exploitation.
In this episode we explore the man, his achievements, his incredible tie to the Titanic and his writings from the afterlife.

News of the Times Episode 136 | 1819 - 1821
Forgotten Fridays 1819-1821
1820 was a pivotal year in British history. Hearkening back to the failed Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot, the Cato Street conspiracy equally intended to destabilise the government at the time.
The end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 had led to an economic downturn, resulting in high unemployment and increased poverty. The Cato Street Conspiracy was a plot to assassinate several British cabinet ministers and Prime Minister Lord Liverpool in 1820.
The conspiracy was led by a group of radical individuals who were dissatisfied with the government's repressive measures against political reform and sought to overthrow it. We also look at some of the other stories in the papers between 1819 and 1821 including the spendthirft ways of the new King George IV.

News of the Times Episode 135 | 1800's
The Victorian World of Suicide: Eccentric Sundays
WARNING: SOME MAY FIND THE SUBJECT MATTER HIGHLY UPSETTING
In today’s episode we investigate the changing societal views on suicide from the Regency to Victorian eras. Attitudes towards suicide were heavily influenced by Christian belief, which considered suicide a sin and an act against God's will. This led to significant social stigma surrounding the topic and affected how suicides were perceived and treated by society. There were limited efforts towards suicide prevention during this time. Instead, the focus was on deterrence through the threat of the consequences of suicide in the afterlife as well as the legal repercussions that would take place on the suicide victim’s family.
Through news stories of the time, we take a look at how attitudes towards suicide evolved from Regency to the late Victorian era.

Notorious Gangs of Victorian England: Wicked Wednesdays
Todays episode of Wicked Wednesdays looks at Notorious gangs in Victorian England specifically in Birmingham, London, and Manchester.
The Peaky Blinders were a real-life criminal gang that operated in Birmingham, England, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The name ""Peaky Blinders"" is believed to have originated from the distinctive peaked caps (flat caps) that the gang members wore, with razor blades into the brims to be used as weapons during fights.
The all women 40 elephants’ gang were a notorious all-female criminal gang that operated in London. The gang was renowned for their sophisticated and organized activities such as wholescale theft, blackmail, robbery and more, making them one of the most infamous female-led crime groups of their time.
Our last story looks at the many Manchester gangs, with children as young as 10, and specifically the violent Deansgate gang.

News of the Times Episode 126 | 1870
The Mordaunt versus Mordaunt Scandal: Eccentric Sundays
In 1870, a public scandal to beat almost all public scandals of the time developed to the point where the rise of Republicanism – the overthrow of the British Monarchy – was gaining real momentum.
In high society, the case of the public divorce of a husband from his multiple cheating wife was started. One of the potential litigants named was Bertie, or ‘Dirty Bertie’ as the press referred to him: his Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales who would later become King Edward VII. This eccentric Sundays story has scandal, illicit affairs, royalty and insane asylums in the story of Mordaunt versus Mordaunt.

Forgotten Fridays 1799 - 1801: News of the Times
1799 to 1801: the over-riding sense of the articles is the extreme poverty hitting the UK with inflation at a record 36.5%. With the record inflation and extreme poverty comes a corresponding rise in crime with the highest execution numbers since 1785. The masses are encouraged to fall in love with barley as a cheap source of energy and adverts are taken out for any kind of work wanted.

News of the Times Episode 123 | 1700-1970
The Dark Side of London: Wicked Wednesdays
From eerie tales of haunted places and the ghosts that wander its historic streets, to the sinister secrets lurking beneath the pristine streets, London holds a dark history that will send shivers down your spine.
In the murky depths of London's shadowed streets, where gas lamps flicker and secrets are whispered, lies tales that delve into the city's darkest recesses. These are stories of vampiric sightings, exploding coffins, and the murderous pool that draws people in but won’t let them out.
These are tales of the dark side of London.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

The World of Beau Brummell: Eccentric Sundays
Beau Brummel, who single handedly transformed men’s fashion away from the powdered wigs, silks and makeup of the French Court to the urbane, tailored style that we still have today and which dominates the Regency and Bridgerton world.
Beau was so much more than a style icon and incredible wit. In this episode we look at some of his more outrageous pranks, his wit and the infamous feud with George, The Prince Regent – did he really call him fat out loud for all to hear in a room filled with the highest in society?
We tell all in this episode of the World of Beau Brummell.

The Leyton Horror: Serial Killer Saturdays
1903 and all eyes in England are on the George Chapman investigation – was he the ripper? The Chapman story overpowered this gruesome horrific crime of a family brutally murdered, dismembered, with their body parts buried in a back garden. The motive? Financial gain. What is even more horrific is that this was to be a serial killing trend. His next attempted victim survived or more murders would have followed.
Today’s episode looks at the back story and the crime itself of the Leyton Horror.

Famous Family Curses in Britian: Wicken Wednesdays
Great Britain abounds in family curses, usually involving wiping out a complete bloodline.
In today’s episode we look at 4 such famous tales:
The Tichborne curse
The Chained Oak Tree
The Earls of Stair curse (if you have not heard of them it is because the curse worked)
The Lambton Worm (which sounds suspiciously like Smaug from The Hobbit)
And the Curse of Tutankhamun which inspired the films of The Mummy.
Make sure you leave the lights on whilst listening….

News of the Times Episode 115 | 1886
The Mysterious Case of the Pimlico Poisoning: Murderous Mondays
This story is a favourite of ours for the enduring mystery of it as well as the high weird factor. A mysterious death, the threesome relationship where the wife is somewhat handed over to other men at the insistence of her husband. And then, the husband’s strange , unexpected and unexplained death in an impossible way.
A deathly celebration of New Years Day in 1886 England echoing the famous Charles Bravo Case.

The Disturbing Saga of the Blackout Ripper: Serial Killer Saturdays
Have you heard of the Blackout Ripper? The chilling legend that terrorized a city.
In the early 1940s, during the height of World War II, a shadowy figure stalked the streets of London.
Known as the Blackout Ripper, this mysterious individual struck fear into the hearts of the citizens.
The blackouts were the perfect cover for this deranged killer. In the darkness, he prowled, seeking out his victims.
Women were his chosen targets, and their lives were violently snuffed out in the dead of night.

News of the Times Episode 111| 1899-1903
Lethal Ladies of the StatesL Twisted Tales Tuesdays
In celebration of the Independence Day of our American cousins, today’s episode looks at two lethal ladies around the turn of the century.
Our first one, Mary McKnight looks set to have beaten our worst female serial killer, Mary Ann Cotton, with a suspected 18 kills under her belt. Like our Mary Ann, you were taking your life in your own hands if you hung out with her.
Our second lethal lady is Lulu Johnson. We admit to being initially intrigued just by the name! This one is mysterious: something of a serial monogamist, but just with the kill factor added in when she tires of the current beau. Only a paltry 6 deaths under her belt as far as could be told, but it could be more.

News of the Times Episode 109 | 1926
The Disappearance of Agatha Christie: Eccentric Sundays
In 1926 the unheard of happened: an internationally renowned crime authoress vanished.
Rumours had circulated for some time about the philandering of her dashing husband who had requested a divorce – all was not well within the Christie household.
On the evening when he went away, ostensibly to stay with friends, Agatha kissed her young daughter goodnight and vanished. For 11 days she was missing – her disappearance even made the front page of newspapers in America.
This episode looks at the events, the background and the theories of the disappearance of Agatha Christie.

1831: Madness, Mayhem and Murder on the Railways: Twisted Tuesdays | Episode 106
"In today’s Twisted Tales, we look at Railway madness mostly during the Victorian era. With the advent of the super-fast trains, it was thought the speed from the trains negatively impacted the delicately intelligent mind’s lunacy which could lead to a type of madness.
The early newspaper articles abound with stories of male maniacs doing all kinds of weird and not nice things in railway carriages, with their equilibrium recovered once the train stops.
Women, and those from the colonies, were supposedly not so strongly impacted because their brains were not as developed. Really.
Today, we look at this phenomenon of maniacal behaviour on trains.

News of the Times Episode 105| 1919
The Murder of Mabel Greenwood: Murderous Mondays
We thoroughly enjoyed this story form 1919 in the tiny town of Kidwelly in Wales. The story, on the surface, seems almost formulaic. And yet, the case remains officially unresolved.
Was he unfairly unpunished for not following the social norms of the day in a tightly knit small Welsh village? Or did he do the deed?
And what of Mabel? How did she really die?

News of the Times Episode 104 | 1875-1947
Aleister Crowley: The Great Beast 666: Eccentric Sundays
It is difficult to encapsulate a personality such as Aleister Crowley. Regardless of one’s thoughts on his exploration of the dark side of everything, he still was a person larger than life in all kinds of ways. This episode focuses on his later years and the trials which brought his unique philosophies more acutely into the public eye.

Jane Scott - The Bad Girl of Preston: Serial Killer Saturdays
Jane Scott, the quintessential bad girl in Preston, Lancashire in 1828. Undoubtedly despaired of by her parents, rebellious, promiscuous, overweight and a girl who likes to party. Would she be so different in the 21st century?

News of the Times Episode 102 | 1700-1900's
The Rough Guide to Naughty England: Wicked Wednesdays
"CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT
This episode was going to be solely on Mrs Whipping, the S&M governess, who had a highly successful career of some 45 years. We found, though, a larger picture emerging of this world in Regency through Victorian England and realised that Mrs Whipping, although arguably the most successful in this area, was by no means alone. Mrs Whipping still features in this episode, but so do some of her contemporaries as well as mentions of some of the prestigious clientele.
Interesting times! And as one of our subscribers has pointed out, things do not seem to change.

News of the Times Episode 101 | 1881-1899
The West Ham Child Vanishings: Twisted Tales Tuesdays
Between 1881 to 1899, a series of child vanishings took place in a relatively small area. Three of the children had lived in the same street. The stories were somewhat overshadowed by the ripper killings, although the child vanishings that took place were less than 10 miles away.
In this episode we recount the series of abductions and murders that remain unsolved to this day.

Dr Barber - and the International iIentity Theft : Eccentric Sundays
We are fascinated by identity theft cases; it is like living a lie 24/7. This is even more of a reach when the field is in something you know nothing about! This story of Dr Barber - or is he Dr Barber? spanned two continents and almost seemed to be a compulsion for the man. This fascinating case comes from 1913. We would like to thank our BRILLAINT subscribers for their request on this subject – thank you! You know who you are…

The Brides in the Bath Murderer: Serial Killer Saturdays
A true Bluebeard story, the Brides in the Bath murders gripped the nation in 1915. Not only are the crimes themselves fascinating, but how he was caught is a story in itself. A strange pattern catching the eye of a member of the public and some forensic science worthy of the 21st century. This story is one of our favourites.

The Blackburn Sweeney Todd: Murderous Mondays
This case was nicknamed the Blackburn Sweeney Todd in the papers.
The incredibly horrific crime, even by today's somewhat less shockable standards, made the national headlines. For those who followed the Whitechapel Wednesdays, this is one of the cases that was referred to for the argument to use dogs to catch the ripper.

Amelia Annie Dyer, arguably Britain’s most notorious serial killer, targeted vulnerable women with children, and preyed upon babies and small children.

News of the Times Episode 53 | 1840
Whitechapel Wednesdays - 13 Final Episode
In today’s final episode of the Whitechapel series, we review the unresolved recent spate of gruesome deaths. There is a real difference in the number of slayings attributed to the ripper between the police, the medical inquests, and the papers. The papers, perhaps, better reflecting the man on the street: whether all the slayings are from one person or more, there still exists a series of unsolved brutal killings in the area. Why is nothing being done?
In this episode a prime suspect and the chase of that suspect to America.

Stories of Being Buried Alive
Today's collection of stories focuses on the many cases found in pamphlets and the papers of being buried alive. Some of those who were buried alive, or nearly buried alive, were discovered in time. Others, with fresh contusions and bloody hands from rapping at the inside of the coffin, tell a different tale. This episode is not recommended for those who suffer from claustrophobia.

News of the Times Episode 90 | 1815
The Case of Elizabeth Fenning
This famous case from 1815 had a long-lasting impact in many ways. An attractive young girl as cook in a new household, the poisoning of the family through arsenic, and the "did she or didn't she" aspect ensured this case remained in the Victorian consciousness for a very long time.
You will never look at British dumplings in the same way again.

Arthur Orton - Butcher or Baronet? : Eccentric Sundays
This exceptionally famous case wins the prize for sheer audacity. A butcher from Wagga Wagga Australia, reading the adverts begging for news of a long lost son, decides to pretend to be the missing heir. This case was even presented in Whitehall and rippled around the world. Certainly the old adage: If you are going to lie, lie big, came into play here.

George Chapman - The Ripper Suspect
Still recovering from the series of brutal slayings in London, a new serial killer emerges, George Chapman.
Violent, brutal, and with a trail of newly married wives and their long lingering painful deaths within a short time of their "marriage" to Chapman, this series of slayings became a huge case of its time. Seeking some resolution, Chapman was put forward as the possible ripper. We look into the murders and review the evidence.

The Brighton Railway Murderer - Percy Lefroy Mapleton: Twisted Tuesdays
This horrific murder case on the London to Brighton train in 1881 gripped the nation at the time.
Initial poor handling of the situation, the brutality of the murder, and a not unexpetced successful escape from the primary suspect ensured the story was kept in the public eye. This case has the additional note of being the first case where a forensic composite sketch was created and released publicly in order to find the prime suspect.

In this week's episode, an outline of the Gateshead slashing - had the ripper moved North? Apparently not with the double event. The victim of the Mitre Square horrific killing is not yet identified, but the Berner Street slashing is, with Elizabeth Stride's still warm body, oozing blood right outside a workman's club in full joviality.

Whitechapel Wednesdays 8
Was Jack the Ripper just too clveer, or were the police either uninterested or just not very good?

A Collection of Stories from Spooky England
England is blessed with a vast array of spooky stories. Honestly, it is hard to find a pub or guest house that does not have a resident ghost or two. These stories come from the papers. In general, the papers were highly sceptical of running ghost stories as it could dent their credibility. It had to be something considered legitimate in order to be published.

William Bousfield - Family Murderer and Botched Execution
The Bousfield case: sad and gory as it is clear that Bousfield slaughtered his wife and 3 small children. However, Bousfield's manner leading up to his execution and the subsequent execution failures 3 times make this story remarkable.

News of the Times Episode 55e | 1873
Mary Ann Cotton - Serial Killer Saturdays
Mary Ann Cotton is still renowned as one of England's worst serial killers. Accurate numbers are difficult, but estimates have her killing some 20 people, including her mother, her children, stepchildren, and 3 out of 4 husbands. The reason was financial gain, but she also seems to have struck when she got tired of the person. The deaths were agonisingly painful. A rival to Palmer or Burke and Hare.

Israel Lipski - The Murderer of Miriam Angel
Israel Lipski has been remembered through history of having some kind of tie to Jack the Ripper. This is true and not true.
The case occured in Whitechapel rougly 1 year before the series of ripper murders, and Lipski had been executed. The name "Lipski" is heard to be called out by one witness, but whether this was a general reference to nationality, or a specific reference to the Lipski murder in the area a year before, we do not know. The case itself is interesting, even without the tenuous ripper tie.

When Obsession Turns to Murder - The Chocolate Cream Killer - Christiana Edmunds
England has had wholesale poisoning before, notably of beer (Oh no! We hear you say!) and sweets sold at a market stall.
This case is different as this was intentional wholesale poisoning, both random and targeted.
And through the use of chocolate creams. Tampering with the ambrosia of foods is already crime enough, we think.

We, at News of the Times, are keen to show the range of life and crimes from Great Britain's past. Reported cases of incest were very few, but these 2 cases we thought were worth reporting. Trials for this sort of crime were closed during this time, so news coverage of these types of cases are few.
The first case of the Braids was well known as the brother and sister killed their infant baby.

Catherine "Kate" Webster, a name still remembered today. Although comparatively speaking, her crime was not as extreme as some of the others we have investigated, her actions certainly show what can happen when employees take revenge.

News of the Times Story 107| 1671
The Man Who Stole the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London
Colonol Blood (often incorrectly remembered as Captain Blood) successfully stole the crown jewels from the Tower of London!
He was rewarded by King Charles II - the King he had fought against for many years! In between those activities, he kidnapped a Duke, broke his friend out of jail and was involved in all kinds of political plots in Ireland, Scotland, Holland as well as several in England. A very busy man.
His plots were so infamous that when he died, no one believed it - thinking he was plotting again,.He was disinterred, checked to see that he really was dead, and then reburied.
THAT is a reputation!

Stories of Executioners
In this episode we look at 3 executioners in England's history. The role of executioner transformed over 100 years from executioners being shunned by the populace in general with a rather unsavoury repution, to becoming a Victorian version of a rock star. In between, we have the story of the executioner who himself was executed, after a lifetime of skirting the law.

News of the Times Episode 47v| 1881
Margaret Messenger: The 13 Year Old Serial Killer
In this episode of Serial Killer Saturdays, we look at another child serial killer (the previous story being the Agnes Norman Case Episode 29)
This case related to two small children deaths in one family whilst under the care of a 13 year old girl working as a servant in the family. The Margaret Messenger case while very sad, was also exceptional due to the youth of the girl. The case brought up a real difficulty legally as the courts were unprepared to deal with a crime of this nature from one so young.

News of the Times Story 169 | 1877
The Starvation Of An Heiress By The Ruthless Fortune Hunter
This infamous case from 1877 captured everyone's imagination. It was commented that the people attending the trial tended to be wealthy, and very well fed, and that women attending treated the court case as if it were a dramatic show. Champagne and caviar were apparently shared between the many attendees.
The Heiress was charmed by a man 10 years younger, who quickly took control of her life and locked her up in the country starving boih her and their child.
Quite extraordinary.

News of the Times Story 154 | 1820
Catherine Wilson and her Shotgun Marriage as a Man
In 1820, a 14 year old girl, with no parents or protector, takes on the clothes of her dead brother and becomes John Thompson.
From this, her life takes on strange dramas that could not be predicted including a shotgun marriage as a man. Better than your average drama from a "you could not make it up" perspective.

News of the Times 151 | 1580's
Sawney Bean and his Cannibalistic Family
The infamous story of Sawney Bean and his Cannabilistic Family is a ghoulish story of a remote family living on the outskirts of Galloway, Scotland. Their estimated 25 year reign of terror had a severe impact on that area of the country. King James VI himself became involved in their eventual capture. Their estimated killings counted over 1000.
A fascinating tale.

The Story of Murderous Catherine Hayes - Murder as Petty Treason
Murderous Catherine Hayes, who took on her son as her lover, then simultaneously took on her husbands friend as an additional lover, and convinced both to murder her husband.
She held the candle to facilitate light as well as holding the bucket whilst they worked togeterh to dismemember her husband.
Considered an exceptionally shocking tale in 1726 and I think even by today's standards

News of the Times Ep35v | 1855
Serial Killer Saturday - Dr William Palmer
We start our new series of Serial Killer Saturdays with this infamous case of the "Prince of Poisoners".
To Palmer, no one safe from his killing spree: wife, children, mother-in-law, brother, friends, employees.
Palmer was referenced by Charles Dickens who called Palmer "the greatest villain that ever stood in the old Bailey". Palmer himself is referred to in a Sherlock Holmes story, The Adventure of the Speckled Band. The story was a sensation in 1855 with some 30,000 spectators arriving to watch him swing. This crime also has the distinction of bieng one of the first in English trials to feature the poison strychnine.
Now we know where Agatha Christie got her ideas from.😁

News of the Times Short #143v | 1817
Murder of Mary Ashford - England's Last Trial by Combat Case
A huge case in its day which had the distinction of closing down a loop hole in the law of the day.
Mary Ashford is found dead and what would seem to be a rather obvious suspect is found. When the suspect is let off, he is pursued again in the courts using a legal loop hole of the time.
The suspect pulls hiis own legal loophole of a trial by duel. This was a very old statute that had not been used in decades. Quite interesting!
We hope you enjoy!

News of the Times Episode #32v | 1828 - 1831
The Burkers - Feeding The Dissectors
"Burking" became a Victorian term after the infamous case of Burke and Hare. Burkers are not to be confused with Resurectionists, otherwise known as grave robbers.
Burkers murdered as cleanly as possible in order to avoid marks upon the body, usually by smothering, and then sold the body on to medical schools for dissection. Hence: feeding the dissectors.

The famous case of the serial murderer Mary Ann Cotton is recounted here. Some estimates place her murders around the 22 mark. It is suspected she killed 3 husbands and at least 6 children.

News of the Times Short #115 | 1814
Dead bodies in a sea of beer 15 feet high and 1 million litres
This famous case of an exploding 22 foot beer vat, and the subsequent impact of neighbouring beer vats, caused the death of 9 people in total and collapsed a roof.
The image of dead bodies floating in a sea of beer is hard to imagine. Them trying to save the ber for use later is possibly even worse!

The Young Man Pushed to Murder the Husband of Older Mistress
The young murderer received considerable sympathy as it was believed he had been played by an older woman who ultimatley betrayed him.
Convincing the young servant that they would be together, once her husband was out of the way. That is how the aftermath of the murder happened. Poor guy.

News of the Times Short #84 | 1779
The Story of: A Caution to Wearers of East India Handkerchiefs
This story is a reminder that some things never change. In essence, in time for holiday shopping, British goods are being seen to be undercut by goods through The East India Company. The governement response is to ban anyone from buying or selling products not made in England.
To our American friends - this is not much different to the restrictions of what goods could be bought from whom in The American Colonies during this general time period causing understandable resentment.

News of the Times Short #21 | 1920
The Story of: Australian Land for British Ex-Serviceman
Possibly forgotten in our day; there was quite a drive from Australia to encourage British labourers, women in service and ex Servicemen to emigrate to Australia with very favourable conditions on offer including large plots of land and loans on good terms.
Interesting this was not so long ago in terms of historical time spans. Contrast with some 100 years on and the question of immigration.

News of the Times Short #47 | 1840
Burnt By Crinoline
This was a normal occurence for women with the large and cumbersome dresses that were the requirement. So, in essence, the dresses of the day were a fire hazard to women! A popular fabric used at the time was crinoline - often made out of a combination of horse hair and linen.
This story is an example of this common coccurence of its day.

The Story of: The Evils of Child Insurance
We went back and forth on the title of this rather unbelievable story.
In essence without giving too much away: poverty, rent due, unwanted children.
It was a very famous case in its day. and a reall success for the then newly formed NSPCC (The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children)

News of the Times Short #48 | 1859
This was a very big story in its day and was generally referred to as "The Great Stink".
This is quite a sarcastic article on what was known as "The Great Stink" of the Thames. How can The British claim to Rule the Seas if they cannot rule their own rivers? Very funny.

News of the Times Short #37 | 1849
Wooed, used, then discarded. A stain on a women's reputation could have a catastrophic effect in so many ways including where a single woman would be allowed to live and any kind of employment opportunities.
This story recounts one woman's revenge in 1849.
Quite a fun story this.

News of the Times Short #57 | 1886
Women and families without a male provider and no independent means had to work to survive. The job market for women was limited during this time.
This story is further complicated with the local church's involvement and lack of sympathy towards a girl masquerading as a man. It is interesting to look back in time to see any differences with current day (or not).

News of the Times was derived through my fascination with news articles from as early as the 1790’s through Victorian Times and beyond.
Newspapers supplied the social media of their day and are a fascinating insight into the lives, trends, and world of the everyday person.
Through actual news articles of our past, I review the social media stories of their day touching upon the lives, trends and world of the every day person.
In this channel, stories are collated from a wide variety of sources and gathered into spans of 3 years at a time from actual newspapers and periodicals. This is News of the Times.
