News of the Times Short #123 | 1873 
A Boys attempt to murder his stepmother 
A 12 year old boy's attempt to murder his step-mother with arsenic is re-told here.
There are far more stories of Children Who Kill during this time than one would imagine, so this was not so unusual. 
Hosted by Robin Coles.
