News of the Times Short #42 | 1738
The 10 Year Old Who Tried to Kill His Family
A highly shocking story involving a 10 year old boy. Consider that this takes place in 1738.  Fear of getting caught for slitting his parents throats pushes him to go a different way.  There was no law at the time to deal with this type of crime from a boy so young.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time.  We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day. 

We also sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint.  Jack the Ripper Stories, at the time known as The Whitechapel Murders, is one example.
